Episode Synopsis

In which we discuss the much-discussed Saga by Brian K Vaughn and Fiona Staples!  We delve a teensy bit in to the backgrounds of the creators and what they've done otherwise.  We also discuss what we like (or maybe don't like) about the series.Episode V is live, baby!  We're still working on how we put together the show.  I think it'll depend on the topic.  Shows that are run-based will likely focus more on creator bios or maybe just behind-the-scenes stuff on the run.  Shows that focus on a broader character treatment will probably be lighter on that stuff with maybe a few references tossed in for a bit of spice.  We're also working on diversifying our content.  It won't always be Marvel/DC as you can see from this episode!  Anyway, please leave a rating and comment on whichever service you downloaded your episode from.  If you want to find us on Facebook or Twitter, the links are below.  Feel free to get a hold of us there!Website:  https://pencilusinpodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PencilUsInPodcastTwitter: @pencilusinemail: [email protected] here:  Su did the research on this episode.  All I did was read the comics in question.  Su says she used sources like these (along with basic info from Wikipedia and some bios on the Image and DC websites):A New York Times bit on Fiona Staples:https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/12/arts/the-comic-book-artist-fiona-staples-gives-archie-a-makeover.html?_r=0A Blog post discussing Staples:https://drawersdrawerblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/29/fiona-staples/BKV Website:https://bkvcomics.com/Article on BKV launching Saga:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/lost-brian-k-vaughan-saga-comic-damon-lindelof-300188Interview with BKV at the launch of Saga:https://www.cbr.com/exclusive-brian-k-vaughan-starts-his-saga/Comics read for the purpose of this episode:Saga: 1-54
