071 - INTERACTION AT COMIC CONVENTIONS!

What is a comic convention without interaction? Whether its with your audience or with your favourite creator, how those moments go can effect your overall experience of a convention. And so the Awesome Comics gang discuss the high, lows and awkward moments of their con experiences, read out listener messages and some very interesting poll results and an oddly high number of toilet stories. There's also some talk about Nottingham Comic Con, the trio's opinions on Doctor Strange and there's another Action Dan question to test Mr Butchers action film knowledge. Plus as an extra treat is a small bit of audio from NYCC with Tony and Vera Greenstreet. Basically, there's tons in this episode so check it out and enjoy!

Great stuff to check out this week: Porcelain: Ivory Tower, Cops vs Sharkwolves, The Belfry

068 - THE STATE OF THE MODERN COMIC CONVENTION

The new era of the Awesome Pod begins, and we kick off this week with a discussion about the world of modern comic book conventions. With big shows pulling in mega numbers, smaller shows being cancelled and venues being changed (controversially for some) there's plenty of discussion to be had. Listener opinions get read out, poll results are announced and its the first week of our 80s action movie trivia quiz Action Dan! Its a bold new direction for the same old waffle about the world of comics!
