Deconstructing Comics: Emmet & Me Talk Politics in Comics
That goddamn election just sneaks into everything!
Emmet O'Cuana and I just can't seem to stop talking. Post-election, we commiserate and kvetch, and then discuss the treatment of politics in comics, covering V FOR VENDETTA, PREZ, AMERICAN FLAGG!, NAT TURNER, MARCH, the works of Pat Mills, and much more in a freewheeling discussion. Give it a listen!
And of course it's long, I'm talking. And stammering, sorry about that.
