It's always a good chat when returning guest Amit Tishler drops in to chat with me and today he's brought along his co-writer and friend Elliot Sperl to talk about their new Mad Cave Studios mini-series The Last Wardens. I got a sneek peek at this book, and it is wild. Set in the 1970s, what starts out more as a sad slice of life family drama quickly ratchets up into bloody grindhouse bedlam starting the Doom Patrol from hell. We d...

It was Orson Welles that once said about Twitter: "We live in a snake pit here... I hate it but I just don't allow myself to face the fact that I hold it in contempt because it keeps on turning out to be the only place to go." Maybe Orson Welles wasn't talking about Twitter, I'm not sure, but you know who could tell me what Orson Welles was talking about, today's guest: Milton Lawson. Milton makes his triumphant return to the Crypt...

It is a rare treat because both hosts are on the show today to chat with fellow Yeti and comics writer Wells Thompson about his new NSFW project SMUT funding on Kickstarter. Smut is an erotic comedy about three friends facing relationship problems, the promises they make to resolve them, and the sex they have along the way so what better way to discuss it than three friends on a podcast.

As an original comic art collector, I’m excited because we are going to dive today into a different corner of the comics collectable market today. There’s been a bit of an upheaval in recent weeks with the exodus of artists from Cadence Comic Art. As many arts look for new representation or in some cases for collaborative opportunities to share the burdens of operating a direct-to-consumer model over the internet, the tried-and-tru...

I was a huge Space Ghost fan as a kid and was super excited to see that Dynamite Entertainment managed to secure the rights to bring him back to the comics medium again. With a rogues gallery that rivals Batman: Moltar, Brak, Zorak, Metallus... there's so much for a creative team to develop and explore in terms of a modern interpretation. Added bonus, it is written by returning guest David Pepose who stopped by to tell me all about...

One of my favorite past podcast guests has returned and he's brought a friend. It's none other than fellow Star Trek: TNG fan and, in my opinion, the kindest gentleman in indie comics: Ben Humeniuk and he's brought along his collaborator, voted the least guardable baller in indie comics, Travis B. Hill and they are on the podcast today chatting about their comic with Band of Bards : A Last Goodbye. This is a great conversation abou...

I am hype about this project y'all. It's the most visually stunning thing I've seen thus far in 2024 by a country mile. Today I'm chatting with artist Jonathan Marks Barravecchia about his new Image Comics series that he's co-creating with writer Sean Lewis Bear, Pirate, Viking, Queen.
