how to win the lottery s7e3 – the private eye by brian k. vaughan, marcos martin, muntsa vicente
our graphic content module continues with the private eye by brian k. vaughan, marcos martin, muntsa vicente, which looks like a “more traditional comic” (read: superhero comic) and feels like a classic noir. we discuss archaic/obsolete tech (including joey’s beloved zune), the book’s unusual layout/format, and whether the story is cynical or optimistic in the way it discusses technology. we talk about the grandfather character as a kind of audience surrogate, the pros/cons of a world without internet, and the book’s violence and most shocking moments. shreds talks about his desire for things to justify why they’re not prose. we explore the idea of journalists acting as cops. we look back at the book’s original release as a “pay what you want” online drop.
