Storied Arcs
Welcome to Storied Arcs! A read-along deep dive into comics, one story arc at a time...
In each episode, we will discuss one story arc, typically in the form of a trade paperback, for a completed comic series. In general, we will be avoiding ongoing or continuing series so that we can discuss a work in its entirety.
We’ll also be avoiding the “big two” (Marvel and DC.) While we love those comics, there are plenty of podcasts covering characters like Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and so on. Instead, we’re excited to explore some of the great creator-owned stories. We’ll deep dive into the story while evaluating the prose, art, and all the easter eggs we can find.

Alex + Ada Volume 02
"Technology will always advance. But we need to be careful as we advance that we have humans always at the center of our best interests."
Mike and Alex are back to dive into right into Alex + Ada Volume 2 (issues #6-10) from Sarah Vaughn and Jonathan Luna. The guys discuss how much they enjoyed this story arc versus the opening one and what they thought was improved between the two (hint- it has something to do with one of the title characters actually becoming a character). They also dive deeper into the larger theme of AI sentience and how it's exploration in the comic reflects onto our real-life society.
The final story arc for Alex + Ada awaits so go read Volume 3 (issues #11-15) wherever you get your comics and join us back here next week for our concluding discussion!
