DS 617: Suitor Armor

Poster for the movie, There's Something About Mary

Purpah’s Suitor Armor is a medieval fantasy tale that’s got it all: magic, battles, and fairies falling in love with enchanted, soulless suits of armor. Outside of Steve’s dislike of lazy secret identities, this is one fun, sweet, adventurous story we can recommend with all our hearts. Which we have, because we’re not just magically animated suits of armor.

DS 616: Conversation with Animorphs’ Chris Grine

Chris Grine is the creator behind the quirky adventures Chickenhare and Time Shifters. His latest work, a graphic novel of the young adult adventure series, Animorphs, has brought him a new perspective on working with a known property, dealing with the fandom of that universe, and coming to grips with possibly working on too many things at once. Chris talked with Jason about all of this and more, including his melancholy time at summer camp and why the story of Time Shifters is an incredibly personal one for him.

DS 615: Alice and the Nightmare

Alice from The Brady Bunch

Welcome to Wonderland, where humans like us aren’t welcome and might even turn into evil creatures … er, more so than here on Earth. Michelle Krivanek has taken many elements of Alice’s classic tale and added more modern elements, with just a hint of a certain boy wizard thrown in. The result is a lore-heavy story called Alice and the Nightmare that has heart (and spade and club and diamond).

DS 614: Agents of the Realm

If there’s one thing you think of when you hear a podcast by two cis white men, it’s magical girls. But dang it, those are some captivating, fun stories to read and Mildred Louis’ Agents of the Realm is a great take on the genre, featuring minority characters and fashion that brings a tear to Jason’s eye. You’ll fall in love with these girls and root them on while reminiscing about your college days at the same time.
