Best of the Rest

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. 

Best of the Rest is hosted by Dennis Chandler and Jay Loving and produced by Jay Loving. Get in touch with us via Twitter, @botrcomics, by sending us an e-mail.

Best of the Rest has released 69 episodes since launching on Jul 07, 2017

This episode begins with Jay recounting his time writing comic book reviews for a blog site.  Then, the guys discuss a 1982 edition of an underground comix price guide, then end with discussing current indie titles they've been reading.

Dennis and Jay go through the August Previews catalog and discuss one or two other items.

Dennis and Jay discuss the indie books that have caught their attention lately and what they are looking forward to in the near future.  After the closing music, there is a segment of Best Of the Rest After Dark.  Where the two talk about everything but indie comics.  Give it a listen if you want to finally hear the correct pronunciation of Nolet's gin.

Many podcasts do a Previews episode early in the month. But we think a lot of you are like Jay and wait until the very last minute to put in comic orders.  So for you we present a more "timely" episode.  Dennis and Jay discuss the May 2019 Previews catalog.

In this (sort of) lost episode from a few weeks back, Dennis and Jay start by listing off what items are on top of their respective reading piles. Yes, Piles plural. From there the discussion goes on it's typical Labyrinthine path (See DuckDuckGo for definition)
