The Comic Cast

We are genuinely surprised and thrilled to have won the Best Independent Podcaster award at the 2011 Irish Web Awards last night in the Mansion House. The Comic Cast began life back in 2008 and since then we’ve knocked out a show every two weeks (give or take a week – you know what we’re like!). We’ll continue reviewing comics and interviewing artists and just generally having a laugh. We hope you’ll continue to join us.

Listen to the moment Rick O’Shea announced the award here: The Comic Cast

On the Irish comic book scene we review The Big Break Dectectives Casebook by Alan Nolan, Finn & Fish#2 by Leeann Hamilton, The Wild Rover by Fabio Rosati and The Well Below and Other Stories by John Robbins/Sean MacRoibin. If all that wasn’t enough, we  unveil our thoughts on Batman: Year One out this week on DVD/Blu-Ray and come to fisycuffs over the casting of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. Enjoy!
