Download the Episode Here!

Welcome to the second episode of TradePaperCast!

~What is the TradePaperCast?

It's a monthly comic book podcast where we take a look at a collection of comic books (often referred to as "Trade Paper Backs.") and give our thoughts, analysis, and have an in depth discussion about them. It's basically a book club for comics!

Cohost: @Franticsociety

For our second issue we're going to be talking all about Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley which is a self contained graphic novel! It revolves around a woman named Kaity, and her restaurant "Seconds," where a bunch of weird stuff goes down! Read and then listen along as we discuss the plot and go in depth with everything from the comic!
BUT DON'T WORRY if you haven't read the comic! We start each episode off with spoiler-free impressions, and announce next months issue during the break (September's book: bit.ly/tradepapercast3) then go full spoilers after that with plenty of warning!

We hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to the first episode of the TradePaperCast Podast, a podcast for comic lovers and noobs alike. For this introductory episode we go over just exactly what this podcast is about! Each month we select a collected Comic Book (often referred to as a "Trade Paper Back) and discuss, analyse, and go in depth with the story, themes, artwork, characters, etc.
We will tend to not focus on too many more "popular," series, but it's not off the table for future or even bonus episodes. Give the episode a listen, and leave us feedback for the show at
@TradePaperCast on Twitter

 The first issue of the podcast will cover this particular trade paper paperback: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18339901-afterlife-with-archie-vol-1
