For the second straight episode, we have a very special guest joining us. Please welcome Blaine McGaffigan, host of the ComiClub podcast and one of the writers behind Hangwater, TX - A Southern Horror Comic Anthology!
Join us as we have a conversation with Blaine about the joy and wonder of comics. We always have fun talking with fellow comic book travelers about their origin stories, and riffing on favorite books and creators. Of course, we also discuss horror comics in general, and we talk about Hangwater, TX specifically! Hangwater, TX is a horror anthology with stories written by Blaine and his friend M. Miller Davis, with art by a bevy of highly talented indie artists.
Hangwater, TX is live on Kickstarter right now, in October 2026. Please consider backing it!

Spiritual Themes in Comics and Koinonia Con with Phong and Eric
We're back with a change of pace! In this episode, we have a discussion with a couple of our fellow comics travelers, Phong and Eric. Phong and Eric are organizing the Bay Area's first Christian comic convention, which takes place next month. This was an opportunity for us to learn about what goes into organizing a show like this, but mostly it was a chance to talk to new friends about comics!
Phong and Eric share their comic book origin stories, and how they got into comics in the first place. We discuss the broader topic of spiritual themes in comics we've read. Not necessarily Christian comics, but just comics with spiritual themes that gave us something to ponder, appreciate, or enjoy. It's a topic that was quite fun to discuss, and we could only scratch the surface of it.
We apologize for the slight audio issues in this episode. Hopefully they weren't too disruptive. Please note that Eric joins the podcast about a half hour into the discussion.
As Between the Gutters is a San Francisco-based podcast, we're always happy to support the local comics community in our own small ways. We are but humble readers. If you're in the Bay Area, please check out Koinonia Con! It'll be at Redwood Chapel Community Church in Castro Valley, California, on October 24th, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information about the con, please check out their website: Koinonia Con — Faith.

Episode 235: Superman: Birthright #7 by Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu
We are still alive! You may already know that if you follow us on Instagram, or if you're one of the elite who subscribes to our YouTube channel. But now we are so back with a proper podcast episode. We're continuing our issue-by-issue discussion of Superman: Birthright. In this episode, we're breaking down issue seven, along with the usual tangents, some of which may be somewhat related to the comic at hand, and some of which are just our usual trademark random nonsense. We hope you are enlightened and entertained!
