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.

Storied Arcs Live at Manga Manga Meet-Up Night
This is a very special one-off episode. Alex and Mike were asked to host a meet-up night at a local Cincinnati Manga shop (Manga Manga.) We recorded the entire discussion and you can hear us discuss western comics, manga, and more! Keep your notes app open since there are a ton of great recommendations we gathered from people in attendance.
Here are some of the recommendations:
Witch Hat Atelier
Digimon
Land of the Lustrous
A few apologies for the audio quality:
- We were outdoors so there is some traffic noise and crowd noise at all times.
- There was a 30-second stint where Mike's daughter paused the recording so don't be alarmed if you miss a few seconds.
- The audio interface only has two mic inputs so we used two condenser mics for everyone involved. After the first few minutes Mike is behind the mic but you can still hear him pretty well.
- Something happened to the last 30 minutes where we do trivia and it is garbled and digitized so we cut that out. Still, you get to hear all the great recos but none of the wild guesses in the trivia time!
Thanks to Manga Manga for the invite, if you want to buy anything you heard about you can find the shop or buy from there here: https://www.mangacincinnati.com/.
