Stumptown Trade Review was an idea hatched on the Rugby pitch. Just before I got blindsided by a 400 pound Prop named “Tiny”, Thor said, “You like comics too?”. From there, we spent our road trips talking comics and creators. We discovered a common love of 80′s Marvel, and our excitement about the new work being published by independent creators and companies.
So now, with our rugby careers behind us (and our knees still intact), we discuss comics and go in search of interviews with creators.
We live in Portland, Oregon (aka Stumptown). Portland is home to Oni, Dark Horse, Top Shelf, and a host of other independent comic companies. With more creators than you can shake an empty pint glass at, Portland is fertile ground for comics creators and fans alike.
I really need to bookmark your site. Great reviews, notes of interest and interviews… OK. Now you’re bookmarked. Keep up the good work. We need more places like this.
Glad you are enjoying our site. Just wait…there are bigger and better things on the horizon!
Hey guys! I agree with that guy ^, this site is great. But I’d love to listen to the podcast more and can only find one episode on iTunes. Is that all there is, or is my account messing itself up again…?
Hi Harriet,
We are still trying to troubleshoot the problem. There are over 50 podcasts available. If you click on the podcast tag on our site, you should be able to access them.
Sorry about the difficulties and the roundabout way to access them. Please be assured we are working as hard as we can to resolve the problem!
Cheers!
