    Ep. 116: Daredevil: Born Again, by Miller and Mazzucchelli
    Oct 17 2024

    Welcome to our very first episode of… Comicsplaining?! That’s right, this week we're covering a “mainstream, superhero” book, Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli. Chip calls it his “Nausicaa,” and everything THAT means. But wait, why are covering a non-manga title? What does this have to do with Mangasplaining? Does Chip nerd out on Daredevil: Born Again SUPER HARD for this entire Episode? Listen on, fans, and find out!

    Back to manga next week, sort of, with the French-published manga graphic album bande desinee hybrid Guardians of the Louvre by Jiro Taniguchi.

    Sep 26 2024

    Welcome to Season 5 of Mangasplaining! We’re jumping right in on our new bi-weekly schedule with both our longest episode AND our first prose book: Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics, by Frederik Schodt. It’s literally THE book on Manga for North America, or at least it was when first published back in 1988… Does this incredible tome of manga history hold up, or is the industry in North America, not to mention Japan, just too different here in 2024? And who does Chip think that America's answer to Osamu Tezuka TRULY is? Listen to find out!
