Who knew the Awesome Comics Podcast team were so amazingly good looking? And that's just the lizards.

Who knew the Awesome Comics Podcast team were so amazingly good looking? And that’s just the lizards. Oh, all right, this isn’t really the ACP team. It’s their stunt doubles.

Yes, yes, we got behind again on our Awesome Comics Podcast plugs, so Tony Esmond kicked me in the nadgers until I promised to get up to date. Ready? Here we go…

Comic book stores are some of the best places in the world, and where would us comic fans be without them? Vince Hunt, Dan Butcher and Tony Esmond talk about what they think makes a good store and get some amazing recommendations from listeners.

Also, with San Diego Comic Con churning out loads of awesome news and trailers, the gang take some time to talk about the stuff they’re excited about. It’s a good old fashioned pub chat style ramble of a show thats full of chuckles and talk of this medium we all love.

There’s also some great small press books and events to get excited about, and the results of the cheeky competition the gang launched last week are revealed. Plus theres plenty of ranting, rambling, movie talk (don’t mention Green Street) and general comic book geekery to be had. Vince finally finds a comic book movie Tony doesn’t like, Dan wonders why he reads some articles on the train and Tony tries to say the word anal a lot… again.

Mentioned in this episode are: Sliced Quarterly, Ken Reynolds, The Last Driver, Shaky Kane, Dead Canary Comics, Turncoat, Ryan O Sullivan, Plaid Klaus, Aftershock Comics, Captain Kid, Wilfredo Torres, Airboy, A Certain Symmetry, Water Closet Press
