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.

Intro to The Bunker & Creator Spotlight: Joshua Hale Fialkov and Joe Infurnari
This week on Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex crack open The Bunker from Oni Press by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Joe Infurnari. In this spoiler-free introduction, they shine the creator spotlight on Fialkov and Infurnari, exploring their past comic work, then set the stage for what makes this time-bending thriller worth your attention. Along their way, the guys discuss how they came across this book, how its initial digital-first publishing strategy was a sign of the times, and why time-travel stories remain a fruitful storytelling well.
Whether you’re brand new to the series or just curious about the creative minds behind it, this episode gives you the perfect jumping-on point. So go find The Bunker Volume 1 (issues #1-4) wherever you get your comics and and join us back here next week to break it all down!
