STAR WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We saw the new Star Wars movie and we have so many thoughts about it! And we're joined by our pal J.Bone this week because he has thoughts too! We all loved it.
I have such complicated feelings about Kylo Ren. Why do I love horrible fictional men???
Anyway, don't listen to this episode if you haven't seen the movie because we spoil the hell out of it.
This week we are looking at some of our favourite creator-owned characters. Basically this episode is a convenient way to talk about some characters who have barely gotten a mention on this podcast in the past. Characters like Nexus, Madman, Grendel, Bone, and Martha Washington.
I don't do a good job at all of describing what I love about Nexus in this episode. I blame a lack of sleep, and a brain that has been knocked around my skull due to constant coughing fits for the past three weeks. But trust me when I say, Nexus is amazing and everyone should read it. Also: he's a total dreamboat.
I have no time to write a blog post this week, but here are a couple of quick things:
You should read Mackenzi Lee's YA novel, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. It's a fun adventure story and a truly sweet and sexy romance. The audiobook is great, if you prefer those. I can't wait for her Loki book.
I have my author website and Twitter account set up now, so you can check those out if you like. Not much content yet, but I did post this short piece I wrote about my childhood determination to play hockey in a town that had no girls' hockey team.
Thanks for listening! See you next week to talk alllllll about The Last Jedi!
Oh my god you guys! The Infinity War trailer is here! We have thoughts about it!
The issue of Catwoman that I really like, by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, is Catwoman #32. For my money it's the, ahem, better Batman/Catwoman relationship exploration one-shot.
And, as always, I recommend that entire Catwoman series. It's one of my favourite comic book series. Brubaker does a great job, and then Will Pfeifer takes over on writing and is also great.
I will share some links to my author website and social media accounts when I actually have some content to post there. For now I am just frantically revising my manuscript! But I am very excited to be with Riptide Publishing and I can't wait for you guys to meet Scott and Kip (those of you who are interested in a cute-but-explicit romance between an NHL superstar and an underemployed college grad).
Ladies Night is happening at Strange Adventures on Friday, Dec 15 from 6:30-8pm! If you live in the Halifax area, and are a female or identify as female, you should definitely check it out!
Living Between Wednesdays is a place for people who love comic books and superheroes.
