Troubling Issues
That's Not Canon Productions
25 episodes
9 months ago
Join comic writer, artist, and fan Brad Daniels (and a guest) as each episode they read and discuss a comic book. Each episode will take a deep dive into a single comic issue with a critical and playful eye. Some of these comics are terrible, some are brilliant, and some a bit of both - but each is notable, unusual, and/or hilarious. Hear about the comics where Spiderman makes a deal with the devil, Superman stars in a porno, and Wonder Woman gets tied up (a lot!). It doesn’t matter if you a longtime comics fan or have never read one in your life - this is a fun look at how storytelling sometimes goes wrong - and sometimes goes right!

Some science fiction is really about military science, some is about history and alternative history, some is really about economics or politics, some is really about race and sex.

Join comic writer, artist, and fan Brad Daniels (and a guest) as each episode they read and discuss a comic book. Each episode will take a deep dive into a single comic issue with a critical and playful eye. Some of these comics are terrible, some are brilliant, and some a bit of both - but each is notable, unusual, and/or hilarious. Hear about the comics where Spiderman makes a deal with the devil, Superman stars in a porno, and Wonder Woman gets tied up (a lot!). It doesn’t matter if you a longtime comics fan or have never read one in your life - this is a fun look at how storytelling sometimes goes wrong - and sometimes goes right!
