The Comics Alternative is a weekly podcast and blog focused on the world of alternative, independent, and primarily non-superhero comics. (There’s nothing wrong with the superhero genre…we just want to do something different.) New podcast episodes become available every Wednesday, much like the comic books you get. There are also a variety of monthly series devoted to manga, webcomics, European comics, comics for young readers, and on-location shows.
