Episode 51: Verse: Book 1: The Broken Half by Sam Beck

<p>Hey all, the CDB Crew is back with a regular episode after our short break. For this special episode, Darci chose the recently released, first volume of <em>Verse</em> by Sam Beck, published by Vault Comics on the Wonderbound imprint. If you are familiar with Beck's previous works, it will not come as a surprise about how great a read this is and how gorgeous it looks. We hope that we can convince you to pick up this under-the-radar masterpiece.&nbsp;</p> <p>That's not all that makes this episode special. We are introducing a new format all-together: we are adding in a new, ongoing segment, <strong>DIY Corner</strong>- where we will discuss comics that are being self-published, self-released online, and/or are being Crowd-Funded, while cutting back on our discussions and news segments. Once again, a big purpose of this podcast is to help give notice to comics that might not necessarily get a lot of press or discussion on comic book social media.</p> <p>For the inaugural DIY Corner, we talk about Dirruti: Shadow of the People, Hans Vogel is Dead, The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass!, and Kardiakía: Stories of Representation: Queer Love and Fat Bodies.</p> <p>We also talk about Dune: A Whisper of Caladan Seas #1 by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Jakub Rebelka, and Ed Dukeshire (BOOM); The Night Mother by Melanie Gillman; and A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance #1 by Rick Remender, André Lima Araújo, Chris O'Halloran, and Rus Wooton (Image)</p> <p>The Night Mother can be found here: <a href="https://melgillman.tumblr.com/post/664267309279576064/the-night-mother" target="_blank">https://melgillman.tumblr.com/post/664267309279576064/the-night-mother&nbsp;</a></p> <p>DIY Corner:</p> <p>Dirruti: Shadow of the People: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autonomouscollective/durruti-shadow-of-the-people" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autonomouscollective/durruti-shadow-of-the-people</a></p> <p>Hans Vogel is Dead: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/castironbooks/hans-vogel-is-dead-v
