007: "Mutant Without A Cause"

Author: Greg Driver May 3, 2017 Duration: 1:06:01

This episode: Greg has discovered his wildest fever dream in comic form, Namwolf! Takes a trip to a vampire run BBQ joint in Texas with Redneck, and discovers 'Cantik', music without the help of gods in Godshaper.
Leon has been correcting time paradoxes with The Infinite Loop and fantasy-adventuring with the hard as nails, badass Rat Queens! While Rahul explores what it means to have great power in They’re Not Like Us and takes a sobering look at the events unfolding in Syria through Kobane Calling. There's also some Free Comic Book Day hype! As always with a side order of other stuff we think is worth your time!

Hosted by Greg Driver, Ace Comicals is a fortnightly conversation that digs into the vast, colourful world of sequential art. Alongside co-hosts Leon and Rahul, Greg explores everything from mainstream monthly issues and graphic novels to the more obscure corners of the medium-think newspaper strips, film adaptations, and even those spontaneous stories doodled on napkins. The discussion is driven by a genuine enthusiasm for how art and text combine to tell stories, offering insights that are as thoughtful as they are passionate. This isn't a dry critique; it's the sound of friends dissecting what they love, with all the tangents and deep dives that come naturally. The entire podcast benefits from the distinctive visual flair of artist Anthony Smith, who provides the logos and artwork. Whether you're a lifelong collector or just curious about the form, each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively chat where the only rule is a shared appreciation for the craft. You'll come away with new perspectives on familiar works and a list of titles you might have otherwise missed.
