I Read Comics podcast Lene Taylor Comic books, graphics novels, animation - all things comics and cartoony, with your host, Lene Taylor - a girl. Think of it as the New York Review of Comics. Explicit How I Ripped Off Buffy The Vampire Slayer How I Ripped Off Buffy The Vampire Slayer When award nominated screenwriter Chip Thompson was 14, he was mildly obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, comic books and a whole manner of geeky pop culture. So he decided to write his own series, centering around what it would be like if he and best friend/Co host MC were supernatural, crime fighting ninjas in Tokyo. It was as terrible as it sounds, full of plagerism, clumsy references and out right stealing of ideas mixed with its own unique blend of B Movie horror and superhero plots and ideas. Now, 17 years later, Chip and MC read through each episode of this series (much to Chip's chagrin), brought to life with their unique acting skills.Whether you're a Buffy fan, or enjoy works such as Gareth Margenghi's Darkplace, My Dad Wrote a Porno, the Evil Dead or just like to hear a grown man wince at his teenage ramblings, we think you'll enjoy the How I Ripped Off Buffy The Vampire Slayer podcast. Available on iTunes, SoundCloud, YouTube and Stitcher Radio.

I’ve immersed myself in comic book culture for as long as I can remember. What was once my hobby has become my lifestyle. Comics are all I want to talk about, and if you can’t tell, I can talk about them forever. The way I see it is: when you love something you want to share it. I want to share these powerful stories! So, I started this podcast to talk about everything I know and love about my favorite medium. We’re not just talking about DC and Marvel. We’re going to be talking about all facets within the comic book medium.That means this podcast is for everyone, because I believe that comics are for everyone! In fact, some of those people are my friends , and I’ve given them comics to read and invited them to come on and talk about their first experience reading one! Hosted on Acast.
