EPISODE 17: GRRRL SCOUTS - STONE GHOST

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570893/fan_mail/new] Welcome back to MORGAN TALKS COMICS...  This week we're looking at issue one of GRRRL SCOUTS - STONE GHOST by another of my comic book heroes, JIM MAHFOOD, published by IMAGE COMICS. JIM is another artist who is a BIG influence on my comic book making, weaving music and pop culture into my storytelling.  I've been a fan of his work for a LONG time, and have a lot of his work in my collection. It's really good fun to look at one of his comics for the show, as I love the way JIM puts comics together. Enjoy the show, and let's hear from you about the show or want to choose comics for us to look at.

EPISODE 16: ZOMBIES VS ROBOTS

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570893/fan_mail/new] We really enjoyed putting this episode together, as ASHLEY WOOD is a BIG influence on my own storytelling, and influences my own art too. I love the way he puts comics and paintings together, and have collected a lot of his work over the years. ZOMBIES VS ROBOTS was originally published by IDW, but here ASH and CHRIS RYALL, who wrote the stories, took back the rights to the material and republished them all together in new comics, enabling readers to have all of the stories together. There's beautiful page layout and design here, as ASH really know how to put a comic together - did I mention I REALLY like his work? We also talk about my earlier career as a Graphic Designer, as it seemed like a more practical option than being a cartoonist when I was twelve... I still drew cartoons when I worked in design studios!

EPISODE 15: STARSHIP GODZILLA

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570893/fan_mail/new] Short but sweet this week - it's definitely quality over quantity! This week, we're looking at STARSHIP GODZILLA, a new title from IDW, and one of three new GODZILLA titles they started publishing last year. It's a great, fast paced crime caper set on the skeleton of MECHA GODZILLA, who has been turned into a starship, crewed by a bunch of lovable space crooks. We're looking at issue one, the start of the whole story, and a real scene setter, introducing the cast and tone of the stories.  Also listen out for Eliza-Mariah being a bit cheeky this week as Morgan tries to hold the show together... Enjoy!

EPISODE 14: SUPERGIRL - THE WORLD

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570893/fan_mail/new] ALL CHANGE! This week, Eliza-Mariah is in the driving seat, having done the research and chosen the comic we are looking at: SUPERGIRL - THE WORLD, a new FREE title from DC COMICS, published on SUPERGIRL DAY, which is tying in with the new SUPERGIRL film opening in June.  This is a taster of a new graphic novel that is coming out soon, with creative teams from around the globe, focusing on female artists and writers. We talk about SUPERGIRL and SUPERMAN too, how the characters are changing with the times, and which versions we like too!

EPISODE 13: FLAT TIRE

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570893/fan_mail/new] Welcome back to Morgan Talks Comics... This week, we have a look at JAMES COLLIER'S "FLAT TIRE", a lovely little indie comic from Canada. I discovered James' work through Instagram, and got hooked on his charming, surreal storytelling - which leads to some interesting conversation in this episode. Don't forget to check us out on YouTube too! Just search for "MORGAN TALKS COMICS" to see what we're talking about...
