For our second ever podcast David Hains, Dalton Sharp, Salgood Sam and Dave Howard met up in Toronto to take a look back at the last year. News stories that stuck in our craws, and the books we loved and saw. And then we took a look ahead, in anticipation at some of the promised realeases of 2011.

Michel Choquette monster anthology of comics about the the 60’s
Closing Music: Gold Was His Sun – Nick Craine – November Moon
Self correcting, the Michel Choquette monster anthology of comics about the the 60′s was in fact started in the early 70’s, not the late 60’s as i said in the podcast!
Great quote about the death of Seth’s beloved small town Canada: “It’s a Good Life if You Don’t Do Crack.”
Great discussion. Sorry I missed it!
I particularly enjoyed the discussion of Children of the Atom. I’ve had my copy since last year’s TCAF & am still haven’t made it to the end; I’m deliberately reading it in tiny bits to savour the innocence Dave captured in it.
Learning that he works with kids & genuinely enjoys it brings the understanding home. I get the thinking behind ‘what if he could make comics full time,’ but would CotA exist if he didn’t have his day job? I would be poorer for it, certainly.
