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 November & Creator Spotlight: Matt Fraction, Elsa Charretier, Matt Hollingsworth, and Kurt Ankeny
On this season of Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex will be diving into November, the graphic novella series by Matt Fraction and Elsa Charretier from Image Comics. Originally planned as a series of three OGNs, it ultimately expanded to four, which were released across the span of about 15 months. The guys start with a spoiler-free preview of November, giving the official synopsis that accompanied the initial solicitation, and talk a little about why they enjoy the type of storytelling construction utilized in this book. Then they give some background on creative team behind the comic, including writer Matt Fraction, artist Elsa Charretier, colorist Matt Hollingsworth, and letterer Kurt Ankeny.
November is the first series of OGNs we've covered, and we're excited to explore a different storytelling approach. So go find November Volume 1: The Girl on the Roof wherever you get your comics and join up back here next week to start the discussion!
