Mega City Book Club - a new podcast about 2000AD books

[Eamonn Clarke]

Eamonn - I don't normally do podcasts - but I've made an exception for this - and I'm glad I did. I'm now sitting at my desk at work remembering Carlos and once again feeling just how much we've all lost.

Some fantastic tributes.

Cheers, Bolt. I'm glad that people are liking the tributes to our very own King of British comics

[Eamonn Clarke]

First timer Graham Cannon joins me in the book club to discuss that Dredd epic that we didn't see coming, Trifecta.
Spoilers abound so caveat emptor.

Luke Williams returns to the book club with a towering achievement of British comics from Bryan Talbot. Join us on trip down the rabbit hole and through the looking-glass of Alice in Sunderland.

Damn!  Two episodes where I want to read the book involved before listening (both of which I own - though Bryan's will take considerably longer to read than Ian and Matt's).

Yeah that is a great twofer that, two of my favourite GNs

I really enjoyed this one and, in a bit of serendipity, found my copy when tidying up boxes in the house. I'd forgotten how good it is.

[Eamonn Clarke]

Cheers, guys.
Here is Luke's grail page by Bryan Talbot.

[Eamonn Clarke]

And while I'm at it I realise I forgot to post the grail page that Duncan owns from KotW.

Our Monarch of the forums ignores all the Megxit nonsense to concentrate on Mark Miller's early work for the prog and some stunning artwork by Chis Weston in Canon Fodder.

[Eamonn Clarke]

Blooming auto-correct has changed Millar to Miller all over my various episode postings!

Looking forward to the M.O.M.cast.

Well, that was loads of fun! I've never heard an interviewee slag off his chosen book so much.  Personally I thought Millar's one was entertaining nonsense with a few great scenes, despite the daft plot and very lame conclusion.  [spoiler](Honestly, had that question never occurred to the Almighty before?)[/spoiler] Also, I thought at the time that Millar had invented Mycroft himself, and was pleased to find he really was a Holmes character; though disappointingly an indolent, tubby gentleman rather than a terrifying psychopath.

And now I REALLY want to read Kek W's sequel again.  At the time I'd thought Kek W was Millar's new pseudonym: How very wrong I was.
