EP17. Comic Book Narratives (ft. Stevie King)
In today’s phenomenal episode, we play host to our first guest, writer and comedy genius Stevie King, as she walks us through her love of comic book narratives. We do a light exploration of comic history, and dive into what it is that makes them so enjoyable to some of us. George gets some facts about Green Lantern hilariously wrong (it’s Guy Gardner, not Kyle, dummy! [also Sinestro does not have a tragic backstory, he is just a superdick!]), and Janet learns about some series that make her consider potentially looking at a comic book, once, maybe. See below for books mentioned!
Find Stevie King @laura_dern_it_again on socials, and read her published work at Reductress and Slackjaw Humor.
