From The Rooftops is a podcast about superheroes. Join Corey, Clay, and Talen as they talk not about specific issues and individual stories, but rather about the mechanisms of superheroic storytelling, what it lets you do, and where it can fall
Hey, this one was thanks to a listener asking questions, and we avoided mentioning Heidegger. But other Nazis who can bus off into the sun get mentioned!
But not really! This week we're going to talk to you about reboots in comics!
You know what you need? you need two former churchboys who dealt with apocalypses talking about the way comics handle the idea of gods and their presence in the world. Why not hear Clay tackle the phrase 'Modern Myth' and Talen bring up 'lusury
What do we mean when we mention 'mercenary?' It's not just someone who does something for themselves. This privatised personalised military force is something the superhero setting is filled with, so it's probably best to get a good handle on h
We talk about gangs as used in superhero comics, with some talk about real world racism, the role of the gang and what causes them to flourish and even some of that fancy-pantsy academical stuff! Also, Clay goes the whole episode forgetting tha
In this episode, we talk about the big spooky dude out of space, the ruler of something, This is where we talk about the ways a story can use a powerful external force, with a different ideology, and what you can use it for in a story!Hey, by
And we're back, with a single day turnaround and technical issues hopefully sorted! This week, we talk about characters-within-a-character, the idea of the Passenger. This covers characters like Hulk and Venom, but also Moon Knight, and of cou
Holy heck does this even work any more. Clay and Talen talk about superheroes and their fundamentally creative nature and how refusing to use a superhero name reflects that.
Holy hell we're still here! With a few weeks of preparation to get this one solved, after some DREADFUL technical issues, Clay and Talen talk about The Karate-Man as a superhero comic archetype!
Fandom, boy, I don't know. It's a beast of a problem, something that we use to connect ourselves to our world, things that give us metaphors and common spaces and also, at the same time, something some people use as a reason to hate people. Goo
Now, it's time to count up your sins! Since there's a recent groundshaking event in superhero fiction - ie, Talen watched a Toku series - we felt it's time to talk about it! There's something about hoppers.
Oh, we know you're reading this. There are a bunch of characters in comics who play with the fact that they are, in fact, in comics. This time, we talk about them! Sorry it's late, the editor was busy!
Superhero media isn't limited to comic books and movies! Clay and Talen have played a LOT of games that let them make and play superheroes, so in this episode, we talk about our conception of superheroes as you can express through play!
Hey, what if we talk about the kind of comic book thing that is like, just another term for 'something happened?' We talk about the way comic books try to structure the 'idea' of an event and compare it to Movies and whether or not there's any
Since we talked about rogues, and villains, in true City of Heroes style, we wanted to add to this and talk about Vigilantes. The nature of the Vigilante is as a character who can push the story in different directions than a hero or villain mi
We've talked about groups of enemies opposing a hero, but we haven't spoken about the idea of the Villains, of larger, story-shaping opposition that the narrative bends around.
You want to learn about barking Jabari? You want to hear the concepts underpinning the storytelling praxis of Killmonger as a character vs Killmonger as a storyteller? You wanna hear about the music, the style, the tone, or just what Clay think
Clay and Talen aren't just great heroes in their own right. They're also defined in part by the villains that oppose them. This week, we talk about the Rogue's Gallery, ways they form, what they're good for, and why we're stuck with some of the
There's a realm of realms out there, thousands of parallel worlds, and this podcast is coming to you from Earth-1. You, the listener, are on what we call Earth-2, or, more often, Earth Poo. Clay and Talen talk about the multiverse and all the w
We here at From the Rooftops are a pair of boys, one of whom is good and pure and the other of whom is a peddler of filth - literally - and so it seems this is a perfect cohort to discuss the important and sophisticated topic of superheroes doi
Hey there folks! It's a new year, so new episodes! Don't ask about what happened to the Vigilantes episode. We'll get back to that. Anyway it's an episode where thanks to television doing Superheroes, we decide to talk about the way superheroes
Hey there, folks! How you doing? You had a nice break? We get talking about character design, the superhero costume, realise how DEEP we can go into it, and then we make fun of Hawkeye a bit.
There's a lot of talk to be had about whether or not heroes should have them but what does a sidekick actually mean? Are sidekicks always the same? Are they irresponsible, or do they give you access to a new dimension of storytelling? And is Cl
We reminisce about the game City of Heroes, which has been shuttered now for five years, today (2017/12/01). It gets sad. We get testimonials from others.
