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.

"Then, I went to the streets. Saw how the rich live. What it must feel like to be... safe. I don't think I ever realized that was an option. Feeling 'safe'."
Mike and Alex are back this week to continue their journey through Image Comics' Skyward from Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett with Volume 3: Here There Be Dragonflies (issues #6-10). The guys discuss some of their (minor) hang-ups with the book, and try and analyze why they are compelled by the story but at the same time find something missing from it. Then they break down the twists and turns of this arc and praise how these issues handle the pacing of the story and the reveal of information.
We finish our discussion next week with Skyward Volume 3: Fix the World (issues #11-15), so go find it wherever you get your comics and we'll see you back here then!
