In this episode we discuss Pride High, creating an indie and LGBT focused-comic, and dealing with death in comics, especially death of minorities. The second half focuses on musicians in comics and bad music comics, inspired by the then-new release of Britney Spears’ latest video, Break the Ice. Comics discussed are Princess Ai, John Constantine in Marquee Moon, the Kid ‘N Play comic, the Avril Lavigne manga Make 5 Wishes, the Backstreet Project, the upcoming Fall Out Boy comic,Weird Al’s “Close but No Cigar” video, and the brief Marvel Music imprint. We close by answering a stupid question from past guest Kadorienne: “Sort the superheroes into the Hogwarts Houses or, to make it shorter, name the ones that aren’t Gryffindor.”
This episode’s guest is Tommy Roddy, writer of the indie comic Pride High.
Let us know what house you would sort your favorite comic character into.
