Comics Therapy. No Reviews. Just Analysis.

Two books from February 27, 2014. Plus your Nerd Confessions (suggested by Corey Fryia, about your favorite guilty pleasure characters) and Aaron’s Inner Child.

On The Couch: writer Kel Symons.

Show Notes:

This week’s theme is…all your fault. Or Andrea’s fault, if you ask Aaron.
We crowdsourced the books, so the only thing linking Hawkeye and The Wake
to one another is the fact that both are two of Andrea’s traditionally
favorite books. So maybe the lesson for everyone, mostly Aaron, is that
you like her best. And left to your own devices, you’ll pick her side
every time. She likes you best, too.

Oh, there’s also a bunch of stuff about hubris in there, too. Go figure.

Hawkeye #15 19:25

School’s
in session, kids. The stakes are higher, but is our hero up to the
task? Where is his ego when he really needs it? You may be surprised
with the take away from this lesson. Aaron certainly was.

The Wake #6 30:50

Ah.
Speaking of ego, this book has it in spades. What does that mean as we
head into the concluding arc? Aaron and Andrea make more predictions
than they should. Because hubris. (Editor’s Note: See what we did there?)
