The Three Hoarsemen (Episode 15): World Fantasy Convention Wrap-Up and the Media We’re Consuming
As December descends and the Holidays loom, John E. O. Stevens, Fred Kiesche and Jeff Patterson saddle up after FAR too long an absence for a guestless catch-up episode.
Jeff recounts his adventures at the World Fantasy Convention (sporting his homemade Three Hoarsemen t-shirt), and then the gentlemen discuss the books, comics, and shows that have been vying for their hard-fought entertainment time (and funds).
Even as an interim episode, it still runs close to an hour!

I was WAY off on Flex Mentallo. It was 94. Morrison & Quietly also did All Star Superman.
GUD DOG. IS GUD DOG?
I’ll get back to the East Coast, Jeff. Don’t worry.
Ahem….yes, that could resolve Patterson’s meatspace dilemma.
That’s from We3. A moving book, but I have a standing policy against silent manga panels.
Sam Sykes (among other like-minded folks on twitter) talking about Rat Queens pushed me to get the first volume, which was a lot of fun. However, the artist has not been an exemplary citizen: http://kurtiswiebe.com/2014/11/21/my-statement-on-the-rat-queens-news/
I was unaware of that. Thanks for posting.
That’s terrible. Dead stop.
