What?! A new pod??! Yep! Join Process Party co-host Zack Soto for In This Issue… a podcast about formative comics reading experiences, with a focus on the single issue format. Every episode finds Zack and a special guest doing a close reading of a comic book (not a graphic novel!) and havin’ a lively chat about it. This is a presentation of Episode 8 with cartoonist Adam DeSouza on Nausicaa of the Valley Of The Wind #1 by Hayao Miyazaki, Tom Orzechowski, Dana Lewis & Toren Smith, and published 1988 by Viz Comics. Fair warning: they both LOVE this comic, so Nausicaa haters beware!

Hey y'all! Process Party is still on hiatus for a while but Zack has a new pod called IN THIS ISSUE... and it's all about "talkin' bout comics," one issue at a time. First up Francois Vigneault on Charles Burns' 1995 release, BLACK HOLE #1!

Surprise! We're back again, it feels good, etc etc. Mike has a new book called The Fifth Quarter out! And guest Francois Vigneault (last seen way back on episode 25) has a new monthly comic called Orcs In Space out! Zack has no new books out :( We talk about productivity in a pandemic, comic shops, promotion, trauma, whatever! All the good stuff.

Hey! We're back! & we're catching up & chatting about what's been happening in our lives and the world in the last few months, self-care, stand up paddle-boarding, pandemic variables across the country, making comics in Clip Studio, the new Adrian Tomine book The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Cartoonist, and the question of the day (culled from twitter) "Are there comics for adults?" (??)

HEY, WE'RE BACK! This episode is our very first A Special Quarantine Episode! Awwww! So cute, though we suspect it will cease to be cute, like yesterday, and will cease to be special at some point, too. Anyway, many things touched upon in this one: Books touched on in this episode are Girl Town by Casey Nowak, "Wall of Shame" by Noah Van Sciver (from NOW #1), Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam by Simon Hanselmann, Master Of Kung Fu by Gulacy & Moench, Batman Universe by Brian Michael Bendis & Nick Derrington, and a big chunk of talkin' bout POWER PACK by Louise Simonson & Jon Bogdanove. Other topics include Quarantine Life, Productivity, Digital Comics apps, Mental Health, Comics Shopping by Mail, and there's a Frankenstein's Comic Swap Haul Report (right at the end). We hope everyone is staying safe and home, and washing their hands, wearing gloves and masks when you leave the house (if you have to!)

Up front we talk Valentine's, Hourly Comics Day, self-promotion, and more. After that we talk about two very different comics that are related to  the impending/ongoing ecological collapse we're currently a part of—the five minutes into the future, Google Brand Dystopia of Ines Estrada's Alienation (Fantagraphics); and the far-flung, epochal timeline  extrapolations of Protector #1 (Image) by Simon Roy, Daniel Bensen, Artyom Trakhanov, Jason Wordie, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Process Party is a podcast about comic books as an art form, industry, and vocation—from the perspective of two working cartoonists.

2020, here we come! First new pod of the year and first guest in the new format! Hosts Mike Dawson and Zack Soto take stock on the new year before welcoming Tom Kaczynski to talk about the strange wonder of Steve Englehart & Marshall Rogers' Silver Surfer run from 1987. We cover a lot of ground—from plot points to comics history, distribution wars, the intersection of mainstream and indy comics, metaphysics, the cosmology of the Marvel Universe and much much more!
