ABOUT THIS PODCAST

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.

JAZZ MAYNARD? PART 1

BEST OF THE REST

Since Best of the Rest is an independent comics podcast focusing on only the best in indie and alternative publishing, it only makes sense that the guys discuss Fortran, chili, DC and Marvel on this episode. It was supposed to be about Jazz Maynard. I promise.

More actual discussion on Jazz Maynard will be occurring on the next episode of THE BEST OF THE REST!

NOIR WOMEN – A PEEK INTO HARD CASE CRIME

BEST OF THE REST

Dennis and Jay take a look at three series from Titan Comics Hard Case Crime imprint; The Assignment, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Normandy Gold.
