Postal Organism Ricksigned Only for Mortying
Wubba lubba dub dubz, ya’ll. We’re back again for another positively mental episode. Let’s get down to these liner notes, here’s what’s comin’ atcha.
In the news:
- Comics artist John Paul Leon passed on May 1, 2021 at the age of 49 from cancer. RIP.
- Some of his works include: Static Shock, Earth X, Batman: Creature of the Night, The Winter Men, Sgt. Fury, and many more
- They’ve cast the four paper girls for the Amazon adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s excellent sci-fi coming of age tale, Paper Girls. Sofia Rosinsky, Camryn Jones, Riley Lai Nelet, and Fina Strazza will play the main young ladies, I can’t say I’ve heard of any of them, but I’m hoping for big things to come. Ali Wong has also been cast, and everything’s starting to shape up. Now this is an Amazon show I’m excited for.
- One Night in Miami director and Watchmen alum Regina King to direct a Bitter Root adaptation. The comic is a mix of steampunk/zombie/old magic/Harlem Renaissance that you should definitely be reading.
After all that we’re shipping you our review of the Top Cow noir-ish town with a secret book, Postal (wr. Matt Hawkins and Bryan Edward Hill; ill. Isaac Goodheart; col. Betsy Gonia; let. Troy Peteri).
Then we shine a spotlight on a show Joe has been meaning to watch for a while, season 1 of Rick and Morty. We also briefly talk Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum’s new Hulu series, M.O.D.O.K.
