Reflection probably doesn’t have anything to do with it, right?

On this episode of Bakacast, we have a lot of catching up to do. We’re talking, like, over 20 episodes of catching up. Also, we finally review GitS: Arise #3 and wade through a pool of listener questions. Oh, by the way, we don’t mention it during the episode, but we’ve dropped Glasslip. Turns out only Ben cared enough to watch episodes 3 and 4, and he didn’t feel it was a good use of his time.

And as promised in the listener questions segment, here are my recommendations for non-superhero, American comic books. Keep in mind that most things published by Image are likely to be R-rated for violence, language, sexual content or some combination of the three.
Bone by Jeff Smith
Phonogram: Rue Britannia by Kieron Gillen
The Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen
Godzilla: Half Century War by James Stokoe
The Midas Flesh by Ryan North
Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction (this one is, like, 200% NSFW)
Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick
Saga by Brian K Vaughan
Beasts of Burden Volume 1 (which is free online) and Volume 2 (which collects the previous short stories and the four-issue miniseries) by Evan Dorkin
We3 by Grant Morrison
Rat Queens by Meg Dejmal and Kurtis J Wiebe

And there’s probably a whole lot more that I’m forgetting, but that should be a pretty good start.
