Peter Bagge's Hate part 3 with Whit Taylor

Sunday, December 14, 2025 • Duration

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4RLCcWrixeUhrwL6grJ0GMKyJYOB9HTVSy-BBnhv_lKrRFlIL9pJEBnApbD36QmkRDfohYOjXM1w2RsYL3NzwzkYiize1lRAcHBGragxYm_OY4X1d1-L9AhkGhn1PIQb73NKWwMuKrTQmr-f9fI1JfqAQ5t0x1lBffxsSgb1GVF1jjV1XFXFj__XlFE/s1760/3.1.12.tif

The great Whit Taylor (Fizzle, Dead Air, The Nib) returns for part 3 of our read-through of Peter Bagge's Hate, one of the greatest works from the 90's alternative comics era. As always, we discuss how certain elements have aged, while also appreciating the art and storytelling of this series that was so formative for both of us. This is the season finale of The Runs Season 3! Drop me a line if you'd like me to make season 4!

Sam Kieth's (with Bill Messner-Loebs) The Maxx with Sidney Davidson

Monday, December 8, 2025 • Duration

Sidney Davidson was the colorist on a series I got to illustrate (with writer Mark Russell) called Vanishing Point. I invited him to be a guest on the show and he suggested The Maxx, which is among the most formative comics of my experience as a reader. I couldn't wait to talk about it with him! Does it hold up? How does it read differently as an adult than as an adolescent? Did any of the other Image books reference Camille Paglia? Find out in this episode!

Mark Ginocchio, co-host of The Amazing Spider-Talk Podcast, returns to The Runs to discuss one that we both really love, Daredevil: Born Again. Is it the greatest Marvel run of all tine? Who contributed more, Miller or Mazzucchelli? Can you appreciate it as much as ever given the stank on Frank Miller's legacy? What images are on Mark's Mount Rushmore of comics?

Moench and Gulacy's Master of Kung Fu with David Walker

I've been trying to get David Walker (Bitter Root, Big Jim and the White Boy, Naomi, Badazz Mofo) on this podcast every season! Well, it finally happened. I never would have guessed that he'd pick Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy's Master of Kung Fu, but only cause I didn't know anything about those comics. Having read them now, it's not at all surprising. More James Bond than Enter the Dragon, these 70's Marvel hidden gems hold their own unique place in comics history, not unlike David himself.

Comics superstar Matt Bors (The Nib, The Toxic Avenger) returns to the show to discuss a different run: Grant Morrison's New X-Men. There's lots to discuss here about how this compares to other runs of X-men, what it means to be a mutant, how the run holds up and, most importantly, how to pronounce "Quitely."

Jason Levian, owner/curator of Floating World Comics, one of the greatest comic book stores in the history of the universe, returns to the podcast to continue our discussion of Jack Kirby's Fourth World, one of the most brilliant and bizarre comics epics in the history of the universe. Does it make more sense the more you read it? Does it matter?

My Mom always read comics. For about as long as I can remember, Alison Bechdel's Dykes to Watch Out For collections were in our house. As I've been talking with folks about runs of comics, I thought it might be interesting to have my mom on the show to talk about Dykes to Watch Out For comics and how they've impacted both of our lives.

One of comics greatest historians, Douglas Wolk, comes by to discuss an Alan Moore deep-cut. This run is a buried treasure from 2000 AD, featuring a creative powerhouse pair in their early days. I for one was very interested to hear what Douglas Wolk had to say about it, and to read it for the first time myself.

Break out your pee jar, because this is a long one. Superstar cartoonist Keith Knight (the K Chronicles, Woke) comes by to talk about the first 6 issues of Joe Matt's Peepshow. Lots of discussion about jerking off, being cheap, and for some reason, The Wire.
