Miller and Mazzucchelli's Daredevil: Born Again with Mark Ginocchio

 


Mark Ginocchio, co-host of The Amazing Spider-Talk Podcast, returns to The Runs to discuss one that we both really love, Daredevil: Born Again.  Is it the greatest Marvel run of all tine?  Who contributed more, Miller or Mazzucchelli?  Can you appreciate it as much as ever given the stank on Frank Miller's legacy?  What images are on Mark's Mount Rushmore of comics?  Find out this episode!

Moench and Gulacy's Master of Kung Fu with David Walker

 




I've been trying to get David Walker (Bitter Root, Big Jim and the White Boy, Naomi, Badazz Mofo) on this podcast every season!  Well, it finally happened. I never would have guessed that he'd pick Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy's Master of Kung Fu, but only cause I didn't know anything about those comics.  Having read them now, it's not at all surprising. More James Bond than Enter the Dragon, these 70's Marvel hidden gems hold their own unique place in comics history, not unlike David himself.

New X-Men by Morrison and Co. with Matt Bors

 



Comics superstar Matt Bors (The Nib, The Toxic Avenger) returns to the show to discuss a different run: Grant Morrison's New X-Men.  There's lots to discuss here about how this compares to other runs of X-men, what it means to be a mutant, how the run holds up and, most importantly, how to pronounce "Quitely."

Jason Levian, owner/curator of Floating World Comics, one of the greatest comic book stores in the history of the universe, returns to the podcast to continue our discussion of Jack Kirby's Fourth World, one of the most brilliant and bizarre comics epics in the history of the universe.  Does it make more sense the more you read it? Does it matter?

Alison Bechdel's Spawn of Dykes to Watch Out For with My Mom

 




My Mom always read comics.  For about as long as I can remember, Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For collections were in our house.  As I've been talking with folks about runs of comics, I thought it might be interesting to have my mom on the show to talk about Dykes to Watch Out For comics and how they've impacted both of our lives.
