Now in year three of my Pride Month Feature coverage on the show, I’m more excited than I’ve ever been about shining a light onto the diversity of projects representing queer focused characters and getting to chat with the creators who make them. For myself, Pride this year feels like a more somber affair as the current administration seeks to not only suppress the struggle of the queer community but also to attempt to eliminate th...

As anyone knows who’s been around the comics industry for a while, sometimes the journey isn’t always linear getting a creator owned project off the ground even when it’s attached to one of the biggest names in the industry, and I’m personally excited to get to see this one come to full fruition as it’s a good one so I've got New York Times Bestselling and Eisner-nominated comic book creator, David Marquez (Uncanny X-Men, Miles Mor...

I'm so excited because today my Let's Talk Shop series goes international. I like this trend. As the formatting goes, I get a recommendation from show guests on who their favorite comic book shop is. When I had comics artist PJ Holden on recently about his new Mad Cave Studios project Dark Pyramid, he said to look no further than his local Belfast hang out Coffee and Heroes. So, I reached out to owner Alan Taylor who has a very int...

Despite running a comics journalism outlet, comics conventions are something I don't know a lot about, certainly not from the operational side of things so I decided to bring in an expert. Jon Engel is the Regional Operations Manager of New Dimensions Comics in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one of the organizers of the 3 Rivers Comic Con held in the city in June. It's a regional midsized comic con in operation since 2016 focused on ...

Exquisite Corpses is unlike anything else I've ever seen. It's an indy book with a production and mar...
