Joe Loves Comics
Comic podcast where Joe Loves Comics talks with friends about the comics they've been reading and enjoying lately, plus solo episodes and creator interviews.
This week, Joe talks with his friend Glenn about Watchmen.
This is a full spoilers conversation, so please keep that in mind if you have never read Watchmen and don't want to be spoiled on anything that happens.
Watchmen is a 12 issue series that was published between May 1986 and July 1987, and is widely regarded as one of the best comics of all time. It was written by Alan Moore, drawn and lettered by Dave Gibbons, and colored by John Higgins.
We talk about the characters, the themes, the craft of the comic and more. We also discuss the live action movie adaptation, directed by Zack Snyder and released in 2009.
At the end of the episode, we cover the discourse around Alan Moore, and Glenn tells me about Before Watchmen, a series of prequel comics.

Episode 107.
This week, writer Jason Douglas returns to talk with Joe about his current ongoing Kickstarter, Jane American: The Graphic Novel.
Jason Douglas previously came onto the show to talk about Parallel, a dark and twisted sci-fi one-shot in the vein of The Twilight Zone, and the Jane American one-shot, which was successfully kickstarted last year, and leads into the full-length Jane American graphic novel.
It was great to reflect on those books and conversations, and look ahead to the current ongoing campaign and release for the full Jane American graphic novel!
Jane American: The Graphic Novel is currently live on Kickstarter until September 14th at kickstarter.com/projects/724960070/jane-american-the-graphic-novel, so please go support it if you can! Indie comics like this won't happen without your support, so it's vital to their success.
Check out the synopsis for Jane American: The Graphic Novel below, taken from the campaign page:
"In the 1940's, Jane was living a life of family, stability, and hope... until she wasn't! Until tragedy arrived on her doorstep and changed her in unbelievable ways that are better left hidden. Yet, the economic hardships brought on by the end of the war have left Jane with a choice: Stay safe, stay hidden... or embrace who she truly is, and what she can really do, for the sake of everyone that she loves!
Jane American is 132 page full-color Graphic Novel expanding on last year's one-shot. It follows ALL of Jane's adventures and struggles as she comes of age in turbulent times. This story, relatable to kids and adults alike, explores the universal themes of identity, gender, self-worth (being who you are in a world that tells you something different), and small-town societal norms in post-WWII America. With hints of beloved stories like Superman For All Seasons and Archie: 1941, Jane American will break your heart, make you think, and have you on your feet cheering by the end!"

This week, Joe talks with Trevor Fernandes-Lenkiewicz, creator of Pocket Watch Press and writer of RISE, a new indie superhero comic that asks "what if you had to feel good to do good".
I got to read the first issue of RISE and I enjoyed it, I would recommend checking out the campaign if you're interested!
RISE #1-2 is now live on Kickstarter at kickstarter.com/projects/thehelix/rise2. Please go support it if you can, as projects like this won't happen without your support. It's vital to their success. Here is more of a synopsis for the comic:
"RISE follows Jonathan A. Prufrock as he delves into what it really means to be a good man while attempting to be super. This 40 page premium print comic explores one male's ego through the elevated life of a superhero and attempts to navigate the pressures of what it really means to be a good man.
How has masculinity become defined by performance? What does that mean for a man who's responsible for the lives of billions? In an industry saturated with superheroes, what makes this one RISE above the rest?
This story is about the man underneath the cape. RISE sets out to confront one man's relationship with his own masculinity, questioning his responsibility to the world around him and the role that he plays within it."

"Something is Killing the Children-horror vibes mix with The Goonies-style adventure as five friends set off to shoot a short film on a forbidden rock near their home the summer before they all go their separate ways. But that’s not really why they’re there. One of them has lied… and it’s a lie that will change their lives forever."

This week Joe talks with his friend Ashton about volumes 1 to 4 of modern classic Image/Skybound comic book series The Walking Dead.
This conversation contains full spoilers for the book, and I want to give a trigger and content warning for suicide, along with some other sensitive topics and generally dark themes. I totally understand if you're not comfortable with that and want to skip this episode.
The Walking Dead was written by Robert Kirkman, pencilled and inked by Tony Moore (for volume 1) and Charlie Adlard (for volumes 2-4) with grey tones by Cliff Rathburn. The series was lettered by Kirkman for the first 19 issues and from then on it was lettered by Rus Wooton.
