Best of the Rest, An Indie Comics Podcast, is a reflective but not pedantic look at Alternative/independent comics both current and past. Hosts Dennis Chandler and Jay Loving delve into works from publishers such as Vault, Scout, Lion Forge, Fantagraphics, Oni Press, Hard Case Crime, Drawn and Quarterly and others. The cast is for everyone, whether you’re a reader of alternative comics, want to get started or just a curious onlooker. Listen in for Dennis and Jay’s lively discussion mixed with humor (they hope) about the wide-ranging world of Independent comics. 

Dennis and Jay discuss their recent Comic peregrination from St. Louis, to Oconomowoc, WI to C2E2.  Listen as our heroes recount their Odyssean quest. What treasures did they find?  Were any cheese curds encountered?  Or beverages with paper umbrella and Lotus blossoms?  All will be told.

Dennis and Jay talk about the weather, take desultory look at the January Previews catalog, thenJay shoos everyone off his lawn to talk about archaic technology.

Dennis and Jay have a labyrinthine discussion on comic book storage, dissociative personality disorder, data storage on glass, is there a center of the universe, Styles of hats, and more. It makes more sense than you think.

Dennis and Jay are back with the All New format of Best Of the Rest. It's spectacular! It's sublime! It's not nearly as hyperbolic as this introduction.  Just give it a listen. We think you'll like it.  I mean, we mention Nick Wetmore and who doesn't like that?

Dennis and Jay discuss collecting pulp magazines dating from the 1920's through the 50's and the similarities and differences to collecting comics.
