Deconstructing Comics

https://deconstructingcomics.com/

Deconstructing Comics is a podcast about, and love letter to, the comics medium.

The show began in December 2005 as three guys, sitting in a room, talking comics. Since then it has evolved so that every week is something different, often with someone different. The content is varied and consistently interesting, and sometimes deep, discussing not only the comics we read, but how comics work. Deconstructing Comics takes an international view of the medium, looking at Wednesday’s stack alongside newspaper strips, undergrounds, Web comics, manga, European comics, and more. One iTunes reviewer wrote “This podcast offers true, critical reviews of comics with surprisingly intelligent insight (surprising because I wasn’t expecting such depth from a podcast)…”

Show content includes comics creator interviews (of both the famous and the not-yet-famous); reviews of floppy comics, Web comics, and graphic novels (including manga); comics-related topic discussions; and (occasionally) just sitting down with the recorder to talk comics and see what develops.

All of us involved with this podcast have written and/or drawn our own comics, so we understand what up-and-coming creators are going through and what issues you might need some pointers with. If you’d like a critique of your comic, send it to us (or send us the link), and we’ll review it on the show.
