008: Free Comic Book Day 2017!

Author: Greg Driver May 14, 2017 Duration: 59:54

It was Free Comic Book Day, Greg traveled down to London to hang out with Rahul and Leon. We visited some comic shops to see what kinds of things were going on and took in an awesome art exhibition called The Art Of The Brick: DC Super Heroes. We talk about our day and our favourites from the free comics we snagged! Including I Hate Image, TMNT: Prelude To Dimension X, Lady Mechanika, Betty & Veronica, Bad Machinery, Hostage, 2000AD and the Bongo Comics Free For All.
All this and a bite-sized review of our drunken movie choice from the day Suicide Squad.

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.
