This is a super-sized episode of The Comics Alternative! This week I join regular co-hosts Derek Royal and Andy Kunka, along with other co-hosts Edward Gauvin, Sean Kleefeld, Gwen Athene Tarbox, and Andy Wolverton, for a discussion of what we're all thankful for in comics over the past year. Yes, seven voices! But I think the conversation is remarkably chaos-free, and full of lots of good recommendations as well as information about comics studies and culture of many stripes. Hope you can join us for a collegial and fun 76 minutes!
