AGP#041 – Laser Claws and Robot Sex

In this episode, I’m joined by indie comics writer Rachel Pandich
and anime blogger/podcaster Kate (a.k.a. Narutaki) from the
Reverse Thieves to discuss Western (i.e. non-manga) comics that
appeal to anime and manga fans. We also talk about New York Comic
Con and Masaaki Yuasa’s Kick-Heart Kickstarter, which is about to
hit its deadline TONIGHT (10/30) after reaching its goal a few
days early.


Show notes and links after the break.
