August 27, 2014
This week we talk about one of our most favorite recent comics, an off beat little title called… Afterlife With Archie! That’s right, it’s the zombie apocalypse in Riverdale and Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and Gang are all struggling to survive as the undead sweep over their beloved Riverdale. This excellent comic took us all by surprise and the most recent issue took such an interesting and bold turn that we just had to sit down and chat about what has becoming one of our favorite comics of the year!

092 – Geek Life – Deadly Class
August 6, 2014
This week we begin something new and exciting! We’ll be alternating between covering “pro” creator owned comics from companies like Image, IDW, DarkHourse and the like, and our normal jam of self published indie comics. This means that we’ll have the exciting chance to chat about something you can just stroll into your local comic shop and pickup! Don’t worry though, our heart is still with the self published folks out there and we’ll never stop championing indie creators, we love you all!
Today we’re talking about Deadly Class by Rick Remender, Wes Craig & Lee Loughridge available from Image Comics! Follow Marcus as he navigates the dangers of high school. Can he survive the gangs, the teachers, the homework… and what about that paper for Dismemberment 101? Did I mention that he attends King’s Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts, a high school for assassins?! Yeah, so there’s that. This comic is a gorgeous and wild ride through the crazy world of King’s Dominion high. Can Marcus make it to graduation, or will he get stabbed in the back… literally. Just stroll down to your local comic shop and pickup the Deadly Class trade paperback containing the first 6 issues, it’s a great read.

091 – Geek Life – Memory
July 23, 2014
This time we enjoy another offering by the talented Kim Holm! You may remember we recently covered Kim’s adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s Pickman’s Model. The gang completely LOVED Pickman’s Model and was super excited to see what Kim had for us next. This time we enjoyed the result of a recent 24 hour comic challenge where Kim created companion art for each passage of Lovecraft’s prose poem Memory. You can purchase a copy of Memory on Sellfy.com. Be sure to check out Kim’s other works on FreeComics.no and like Kim’s facebook page facebook.com/DUHHfans.

The music in this episode is a little different than normal. To properly set the mood of our reading of Lovecraft’s poem Memory, we used the incredible track “Realitatem” by Atrium Carceri from the album “The Untold“.
