Episode 14 - Hot Town, Summer In The City

Comics Therapy. No Reviews, Just Analysis.

Two comics from October 23, 2013. Plus your Nerd Confessions and Aaron's Inner Child.

On The Couch this week: writer and artist Terry Moore. (Squeeee.)

Show Notes:

Theme of the show is life in the big city.
The rat race pace of the urban sprawl got you down? Perhaps you should try something more ...unconventional to belay your boredom. Like dressing up in costume. Or sex. Or both together if you’re into that.

Daredevil #32 14:!2
The Man Without Fear leaves the comfort of the riot-torn big city for the unknown wilds of backwoods Kentucky. That's enough to scare anyone.

Sex Criminals #2 26:35
This is a lovely new comic that you should be reading...or, alternatively you can listen to Aaron and Andrea discuss their sexual awakenings. No, not together. Gross.
(Editor's note: The io9 article Andrea referenced on synesthesia, "What Color Is An Orgasm?" can be found here.)

The Couch - Terry Moore 39:43
In addition to stints on several notable titles at Marvel and DC, Terry is known for his three self-published series Strangers In Paradise, Echo and the currently running Rachel Rising. (We talked about Rachel Rising and gender roles back in Episode 8, by the way.) This special extended interview was recorded October 20, 2013.

During the interview, Terry mentioned a few comics and creators:
Sanctuary (drawn by Ikegami)
Osamu Tezuka
Jack Kirby
Matt Baker
Blacksad

Thanks, Terry. And thanks, listeners. You're really upping the bar with the nerd stories/confessions, so keep it up. Contact information is to your right as usual, and drop us a line if there is a particular creator you're interested in hearing on the show. We'll be back next week with a special surprise...
