In a radical departure, the Milksops are discussing comics that are recent! We begin a deep dive on the early issues of DC's hugely popular Absolute line. We start with a home run smash of a comic: Absolute Batman #1.

EPISODE 367 - We return to our special guest format and welcome comedy writer Joan Ford! Joan has written for several animated TV shows and is a long-time fan of Archie / Uncle Scrooge / Looney Toons comics.

She has written and drawn very funny comics book in the "funny animal" style, albeit with adult themes: BIG TITTY TRANNY DUCK. It's about a trans duck who trades sex work for cigarettes. The book also features vignettes with BTTD's friends Anarcho-Otter and RageBate Rabbit. Joan is a trans woman though as her friend we hope the comic is biographical only in terms of being very fun and funny.

We generally ask out guests to pick a comic to discuss. Joan chose PHONOGRAM, Volume 2, Issue 3. This is a comic where introduces a type of magician called Phonomancer - they can use recorded music to perform magic. It's a very dense, niche comment on music tastes and music journalism of the 2000s.

For Loose Screws, Kevin discusses the Children of Time book series, Will discusses the baseball YouTube channel Red Seat Radio, and Joan talks about binging the 1980s TV show Beauty and the Beast.

EPISODE 364 - We go into the "zero" issues of Mind MGMT, which are given negative numbers in the trade compilation. These amount to supplemental stories about the mind agent agency.

These side stories are, in a way, the main course of the Mind MGMT world!

We also discuss at length Marvel Comics recent decision to move from NYC to the Los Angeles area.

In Loose Screws, Will discusses a talk he saw with comics legend Frank Miller. And Kevin discusses the video game trope of characters climbing a lot (Arkham City, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted and the new James Bond game).
