Writer, Professor, and Futurist Mark Sable joins Jimmy on the podcast to talk about BOXED. BOXED is a grounded sci-fi thriller about a rogue A.I. The story was created by Mark and artist Jeremy Haun and originally published by Comixology Originals. Mad Cave Studios will be publishing the print edition with new bonus content on September 9th. Mark talks about the real life circumstances that led to his comic Unthinkable, his work as a futurist, his influences for writing BOXED, what fascinates/worries him most about A.I., plus some talk about D&D and Chaotic Neutral. BOXED From the Publisher: Since the first superintelligent A.I. went rogue and massacred the world's top computer scientists, it has been government agent Frank Savage's job to contain—or “box”—sentient artificial intelligence before they can become a threat to humanity. When Hippocrates, the Center for Disease Control's A.I., exceeds its programming and locks down hundreds of thousands of people, Frank is forced to turn to Pandora— an A.I. he onced boxed—to contain it. The problem? Pandora is a “honeypot” A.I. designed to seduce and destroy its targets… and Frank's ex-girlfriend. With the fate of humanity on the line, can Frank trust Pandora, or will their shared past threaten the entire mission? Boxed is a grounded Blade Runner-meets-Silence of the Lambs sci-fi thriller by Mark Sable (Miskatonic, Graveyard of Empires) and Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Realm). Brought to you in print for the first time by Mad Cave Studios, with brand-new bonus content! Originally released digitally by Comixology Originals. CHAOTIC NEUTRAL From the BackerKit page An oversized comic book first issue and adventure module inspired by the old school fantasy roleplaying games that scared a nation
I don't fanboy often, but I'm making an exception for today's guest. When Jesse Lonergan was last on the show, he was talking about Man's Best with co-creator Pornsak Pichetshote. Back then, I had no idea who he was. That changed instantly. Jesse is back to talk about Drome, his new graphic novel and one of my favorite books of 2025. I can already guarantee it'll land on my year-end awards list, I'm just not sure which category yet. Drome is a singular reading experience, packed with some of the most innovative and intricate panel layouts I've ever seen. It even hijacked my dreams the night I read it. If you're into ambitious, boundary-pushing comics, don't miss this deep-dive conversation with one of the most creative storytellers in the medium. And be sure to grab a copy of Drome so you can say you loved it before the awards started rolling in.
Today's episode is a first for the show—we're joined by an Oscar nominee! Michael Grover, also a Harvey and Eisner Award nominee, sits down to talk about his genre-defying webcomic Deeply Dave, which is being collected into a vertical format graphic novel with Henry Holt. As a longtime fan, I was eager to learn how he's adapting such a multimedia-rich experience—complete with GIFs, music, and animation—into print form. We also dive into his upcoming project Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him, where, you guessed it, werewolves take center stage. I can't help myself with the werewolf projects. Michael's work pushes the boundaries of what comics can be, and if you're interested in the future of storytelling, you won't want to miss this conversation.
David "DB" Andry returns to the podcast for a 4th time to discuss RED VECTOR coming out August 27th from Mad Cave Studios. (FOC is August 4th). The series is written by David and frequent collaborator Tim Daniel, illustrated by Chris Evenhuis, colored by Sjan Weijers, and lettered by friend of the podcast Buddy Beaudoin. David talks about how Red Vector is influenced by Star Wars, The Last Starfighter, and Enemy Mine, the importance of keeping the characters' motivations nebulous to keep the reader asking questions, his excitement at getting to work with Evenhuis and Weijers, and he answers the age-old question first posited by comic book philosopher Grant Stoye, "Where do your ideas come from?". David also talks about what readers can expect from the end of Crush Depth. It's always a good time chatting with David!
Matthew Arnold is a writer, director, and producer known for television shows Siberia (2013) and Emerald City (2017), and the movie Shadow People (2013). Matthew has a new graphic novel coming out from Comixology Originals with artist Davide Gianfelice called OUTER LANDS, which will be out August 26th. Matt talks about the story of Outer Lands, working with Davide Gianfelice, and teases quite a bit about what fans can expect from this story. Plus Jimmy nerds out about the television show Siberia and Matt talks about how he got one of his first jobs as a PA on the set of Jackie Brown and what it was like watching Quentin Tarantino direct. If you're a newer creator or just about to take that leap into writing comics, you don't want to miss this episode. Pre-Order OUTER LANDS From the Publisher When a young prince living in an Ancient Grecian world is exiled to a prison isle to keep him from assuming the throne, he unintentionally discovers a massive global conspiracy in this science-fiction fantasy mash-up.

I immensely enjoy the serendipity that can happen on our show. Right after the 2025 Eisner Award nominations were released, I threw a post out on BlueSky highlighting the folks we'd talked to over the last year that had been selected for nomination. It was through that unlikely path that I met one of the unsung indy comics heroes who has been cranking out original autobiographical comics for two decades now, Jonathan Baylis. From his early days interning at Marvel and Valiant to working with the Topps trading card company, through his book So Buttons Jonathan has chronicled his life through his comics for over 20 years. It is a humorous behind the scenes documentary of everyday life and it's one of the most interesting comics journey's I've ever heard on the show. “So Buttons is who I am—on the page and in real life.” We snuck this in right before San Diego Comic Con so fingers crossed he gets to bring an award home. So Buttons website Jonathan on BlueSky So Buttons #14 : Life and Death In Jonathan's words With my life, it's full of coincidences and brushes with celebrities and comix folk since I've been in entertainment and comics for my whole career. But I was hoping for something a little more high stakes this issue. Don't ask for high stakes, because you just might get it. My comic book dealer of 40 years passed away. And then… my mom. That's this comic. In the tradition of Harvey Pekar's American Splendor, Baylis matches his stories with groundbreaking artists to capture down-to-earth slices of everyday life and pop culture.

We have a big two crossover coming your way today, no, not the Deadpool and Batman one, comics writer Mat Groom (Radiant Black, Inferno Girl Red) returns to the show all the way from Australia to talk about his Tokusatsu inspired DC Comics project Immortal Legend Batman and his Marvel Comics project Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse. I did my best to not dig too deeply into Immortal Legend Batman , one of the most anticipated events of the year for toku fans everywhere, so we don't give away any spoilers so we jump into what, for me, is one of the surprise Marvel books of 2025 in Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse with what I found to be a thoughtful approach to the relationships between Peter Parker and Eddie Brock wrapped in a slobberknocker of a throwdown between the multiverse representatives of the Web Heart and the Hive Mind. We also compare notes on the misconceptions about dangerous animals on our respective continents. It's alway a pleasure having Mat on the show. Mat's website Mat on BlueSky Immortal Legend Batman #1 In shops August 27th From the publisher Humanity broke the barrier between our universe and our universe's shadow. From the void came horri?c apparitions that craved nothing but destruction. But from this terror...a legend was born. A warrior who found a way to access the energy that binds our universe and the shadow universe, transforming him into a cosmic dark knight. This immortal legend was named Batman. He fought to keep us safe but then one day abandoned the war. Though he didn't disappear entirely. Now they say he hunts a rouges gallery of monsters...born from the shadows! Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse #3 In shops July 23rd From the publisher Round two has begun! But who was able to make it? Now that blood has been spilled, the webs are off as Spider-Man and friends face off yet again against Venom and the symbiotes! But not before TWO new champions are added to the roster! Who could these warriors be? And will they add to the slaughter that has now unleashed among the competitors, or will they betray their own team to avoid the conflict? Follow Comic Book Yeti
Today I'm delighted to host comics writer and artist Sophie Campbell on the show. Sophie has recently kicked off both writing and drawing Volume 8 of DC's favorite Maiden of Might, Kara Zor-El or Supergirl. As a longtime fan of the character, I've thoroughly enjoyed Sophie's take pulling from the foundational 70s era and still finding room to make it distinctly her own. We ease into the conversation talking about Kara's appreances on food because Sophie is such a big cereal fan, explore the imprint of the 70s on Sophie including how important fashion and costumes are, debate who the best werewolf in the DC Universe is, why she wanted to include Lesla at the beginning of this new arc, returning to Midvale, and Sophie's love of kaiju inlcuding touching on her Mothra: Queen of Monsters series with IDW. Issue three is out on stands now. Make sure to find Sophie on BlueSky Follow Comic Book Yeti
Former Comic Book Yeti contributor Steve Thompson is on the Cryptid Creator Corner to discuss his new Comixology Originals series Ill Vacation. Steve is joined by Gonzalo Ruggieri and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou on this series that finds 2 soldiers left behind to defend an island in the Pacific during World War II. That premise may sound straightforward, but this comic is anything but as we find that Mary and Bob have been given an experimental drug that has unexpected side effects. The creature design here is next level and Gonzalo's swirling artwork matches this story perfectly. Steve and Jimmy discuss Steve's inspiration for the series, working with a publisher versus self-publishing, what Steve likes about comic conventions, and Steve teases the next series he's working on that he's getting ready to pitch. Give this episode a listen and then go get Ill Vacation, which will be available at the link below beginning June 17th.

James B. Emmett is a Senior Editor for Mad Cave Studios. If you're a long time listener of this podcast you've definitely heard his name before as the editor for some amazing comics. After James posted on social media asking if anyone would be interested in him doing an "ask me almost anything" about editing or Mad Cave, Jimmy reached out to finally get him on the podcast. James covers some of the questions he was previously asked and he and Jimmy dig a little deeper into those answers. James also discusses his journey in comics, his current role at Mad Cave, how creator owned comics work at Mad Cave, and the upcoming comics he's excited about. This is a great conversation, but if you wanted to know more about what a comic book editor does or if you're planning on pitching a series to Mad Cave, you definitely don't want to miss this episode.

I have been looking forward to getting Patrick Horvath on the show for some time now and no better way to do it than to chat about his new IDW Dark project that builds on his break out success Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees. It's back with the next installment called Rite Of Spring which is a significant departure from the original but fear not, or maybe you should, our beloved murder bear Samantha is back. I think Patrick and I are long lost relatives because it's rare that I get to make a connection with someone on the relative merits of using Diet Coke to remove flesh from bone. We get into that, how he's avoiding the sophmore comics slump, how a decade's passing effects the people of the world, Sam's new nemesis Monica, and much more. This was one of the funnest and funniest, if dark, episodes I've recorded in some time. Patrick's website Patrick's newsletter Byron's shout out: Bakelite by Julie Gautier Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite Of Spring from IDW Dark From the publisher The six-issue return of the Eisner-nominated cozy horror smash hit! It's been eight long years since a bloodlusting brown bear drove into the city, kidnapped a kind young duck, dissected his body, and buried the pieces in the woods. The duck's family painstakingly sought justice... but this brown bear was smart... she covered her tracks... and in the '80s, there simply wasn't a way for the duck's family to find answers. But it's not the '80s anymore. Almost a decade after cuddly brown bear Samantha Strong solidified herself as the sole serial killer in Woodbrook, the world is entering a new era. As Samantha will soon find out, there are no secrets in the age of the internet. And those who lost loved ones to her massacre haven't given up the flame of justice. A reckoning is coming to Woodbrook. Join visionary writer and artist Patrick Horvath for one of the most anticipated comics of 2025. Free For All from Oni Press From the publisher From Eisner Award-nominated writer/artist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) comes a 56-page, self-contained one-shot that delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat . . . In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good-or defend them in ritual combat. Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt-defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get-when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything-absolutely anything-to keep his fortune?

Legendary comic creator Phil Hester joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner to talk about his career in comics. Jimmy and Phil discuss some of his more recent work, like the excellent Gotham City: Year One with Tom King and the astounding Family Tree with Jeff Lemire. This is your chance to listen to a true master of his comic-making craft. It was also recently announced that Phil has teamed up with James Robinson for The Adventures of Lumen N. from Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse website Follow Phil Hester on Bluesky The Adventures of Lumen N. From Dark Horse The year is 1901 and our heroine Lumen is a precocious 13-year-old with many questions about her life. Why has her father been gone for years? Why must she learn so many languages and fighting techniques and what's with all the lessons in seafaring? Then an attack on her home by a horde of steam-punk assassins delivers the first glimmer of an answer, when Lumen's savior reveals himself as her grandfather, the legendary Captain Nemo, one of the greatest characters in Victorian science fiction literature. A brand-new world of steam-punk adventure and thrills is about to open up for Lumen as she connects with the grandfather she never knew while together they take on a cabal of evil masterminds, intent on world domination . . . a world full of heroes and villains from Victorian adventure and fantasy fiction. Out September 3rd from Dark Horse Comics Gotham City: Year One From the publisher There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That's about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the “kidnapping of the century” as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

Let's Talk Shop is back for Pride Month, slightly late, with comic book shop owner Wing from Outsider Comics and Geek Boutique in Seattle, Washington. This is one of the rare occasions on the show where I can say I've actually been in the shop and I love this one. Settled in the quirky Freemont neighborhood just north of downtown, the area is full of fantastic little proprietor owned storefronts. We wax nostalgic about the Theo Chocolate Factory that was one of the highlights on my visits to the area, how Outsider creates an inclusive atmosphere, why Seattle loves Magic The Gathering so much, the importance of keeping zine culture alive, some of Outsider's community philanthropic work with Books to Prisoners and The Lambert House, and so much more. The Seattle area will always be a home away from home to me so it was a delight to revisit my time in the area and hear all about the amazing work Outsider is doing there.

He has a brand new series from Dark Horse Comics called TexArcanum with artist Miguel Martos. Jimmy described the series as Supernatural meets Justified, which Christopher confirms that's how he pitched it. Christopher talks about his writing influences, the differences with writing for different media, his journey from covering projects as a journalist to creating his own. Plus Jimmy can't resist asking about Star Trek: Picard. There's so much great stuff in this interview, especially for newer creators. TexArcanum #1 is out July 23rd.

We are continuing my Pride Month Feature on the show with first time guest Stephanie Williams, who also happens to live in my now home state of North Carolina. RAISE UP! I never pass up a chance to get in a Petey Pablo reference. I'm excited to finally get a chance to pick Stephanie's brain about some of the influences behind her smash comic hit Nubia and the Amazons and how writing in Themyscira is a unique pocket to be able to explore queer narratives at DC. It was recently announced that she will be returning there with Warriors And A Wee Wonder launching in July on DC GO! Also covered in the episode is some fantastic conversation about her book Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse: A Visual Encyclopedia including a dream opportunity to meet the Peacemaker himself, John Cena, and her fantasy project of developing Justice League Antarctica. Hey, the book includes King Shark so you know I want to talk about it. Stephanie's website Stephanie's newsletter As mentioned in the show, check out the Bitches On Comics podcast. Warriors And A Wee Wonder From the publisher In Warriors and a Wee Wonder by writer Stephanie Williams (Nubia & the Amazons) with art by Jane Pica, Emily Pearson, and Dominic Bustamante, what happens when an island of powerful, immortal Amazons is tasked with…raising a baby?! In this charming slice-of-life comedy, fierce warriors find themselves tactically outmaneuvered by a tiny princess (a.k.a. the future Wonder Woman, Diana) whose emerging magical abilities cause delightful chaos. With meddling Olympian gods watching from above and little Diana causing havoc below, the Amazons devise their greatest battle strategy yet: the Wee Wonder Warriors rotation system. Because on Themyscira, it truly takes an island to raise a child! Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse: A Visual Encyclopedia From the publisher Move over Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman—Peacemaker is now on the scene and he's bringing along more than 100 of the most colorful characters from all corners of the DC multiverse in this officially licensed book. Peacemaker had a long road to the spotlight and he's not alone. There are dozens of unique, sometimes absurd, and yet truly memorable characters waiting for their chance to shine. Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse celebrates some of the quirkiest, most compelling, and ready-for-primetime characters from throughout DC's history. With peculiar powers—from Matter-Eater Lad to Arm-Fall-Off Boy—and one-of-a-kind costumes—from Red Tornado with her red long johns and a cooking pot for a helmet to Blue Snowman with her wintry robotic armor—these characters are truly unforgettable.

Tyler Chin-Tanner & Jarred Luján return to the Cryptid Creator Corner to talk about their current plans for MEZO. After issues 1 and 2 of Volume 3: The Trial of Roden came out last year, there were some unexpected delays that Tyler talks about on the podcast. Now the Kickstarter (link below) launches June 17th and runs to July 17th and you'll be able to get the complete volume 3, but also volumes 1 and 2 if you haven't yet gotten on board this incredible epic fantasy series. Tyler and Jarred once again talk about the world of MEZO, what it's like revisiting a project when some time has passed, the importance of embracing other cultures when developing fantasy worlds, and the relevance, in particular, of some of the themes of volume 3. Plus, Jarred hints at his future plans for his favorite big guy with a big sword, Phegor. I love this story. The artwork by Val Rodrigues colored by Gab Contreras is nothing short of exceptional.

Follow Tyler on Bluesky Follow A Wave Blue World on Bluesky AWBW Website Follow Jarred on Bluesky Jarred's website MEZO: Rise of the Tzalekuhl The rise of the Tzalekuhl Empire threatens to disrupt the peace that has lasted for generations. When the conquest begins, a young girl named Kyma witnesses the death of her father, Hegol, a tribal leader who refused to yield. As the solar eclipse nears, Kyma must unite the various tribes against an emperor determined to make them all kneel before his god or be sacrificed in his name. MEZO: Battle At Cobán Rock The day of the solar eclipse approaches as the Tzalekuhl Empire pushes its way across the land, determined to conquer all other tribes in the name of their god. With her father dead and her people driven from their homes, Kyma reunites with her estranged mother, Mzira, and forms an alliance with the mighty Huax'kin warriors. But will the combined strength of both tribes be enough to hold back the fervent Tzalekuhl? They'll find out as they make their final stand at Cobán Rock. MEZO: The Trial of Roden In the aftermath of war, the Tzalekuhl Empire has reclaimed its dominance over the land of Mezo. But there is a traitor in the midst. Roden, the once faithful soldier, showed mercy to the enemy by aiding their escape. Now he faces judgement before the Almighty Kuhl. Who will come to his defense? Old friends, fellow soldiers, and even bitter rivals will decide the fate of the man who once risked everything to save them all. Prefer full video interviews?

We are not slowing down as my Pride Month Feature rolls along with returning show guest Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo nominated comics writer Steve Orlando hanging out with me to talk about two of his projects dropping with the big two. Last time he was on we were talking about the ongoing Scarlet Witch series which is being continued in a new five issue mini-series The Vision and The Scarlet Witch, recognizing their 50th wedding anniversary which will see the return of White Vision. It's hard to believe their wedding was 50 years ago in Giant Sized Avengers #4. Steve is promising a Lovecraftian slat to the series which I'm personally rather excited about. Recently it was announced that he will also be working on the Magical Mysteries of Shazam on DC Go!, Venom: Original Sin jumps from Marvel Unlimited Online to print, the exciting conclusion of Ripperland who he's co-writing with John Harris Dunning just wrapped up and will be dropping as a trade soon with Dark Horse Comics, and the trade of Avengers Assemble: The Serpent Scenario just hit too. So, Steve is quite the busy guy at the moment. If you want to catch up with him, you can find him on BlueSky or on Instagram. Shark rescue Byron talked about on the show The Vision and The Scarlet Witch From the publisher The next chapter in one of comics' greatest love stories arrives this May! Celebrating the 50th anniversary of their iconic wedding in GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS (1974) #4, Scarlet Witch and Vision are back together in THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH, a five-issue limited series by current SCARLET WITCH scribe Steve Orlandoand returning series artists Lorenzo Tammetta and Jacopo Camagni. THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH serves as the latest evolution of Orlando's ongoing SCARLET WITCH run, which has successfully redefined the adventures of Wanda Maximoff. Carving out her own path in the Marvel Universe as a solo hero, Scarlet Witch's magic has never been more powerful. But when it comes to helping Vision, she'll need more than strength alone! Befitting their decades-spanning romance, Scarlet Witch and Vision team up for a dramatic saga that will test their souls and break their hearts! The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! From the publisher In The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! by writer Steve Orlando (Supergirl, Martian Manhunter) and artist Giopota, Billy Batson has had to grow up fast. Life with Tawny, a talking tiger and also Billy's adoptive uncle, is humble. It's not always easy! Billy lives with Tawny's other foster children, Darla, Pedro, and Freddy. Despite all he's been through, Billy is willfully hopeful. In addition to all the struggles a blended foster family faces, Fawcett City isn't exactly the safest place to live. It might be a fantastic, whimsical city full of both humans and talking animals, but it's also got a monster problem—in fact, a Monster Society! Soon Billy is granted the ability to say a magic word and transform into a mighty hero! Fawcett City cheers its new champion—and little do they know, he's one of their own. Or do they? Because Billy's siblings are pretty sure they saw him turn into a full-grown superhero. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod. If you like what we do, please consider supporting us.

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 their history and in the most extreme cases, invalidating that certain people even have the right to exist but instead of getting down about it, let's flip the script so it is my pleasure to host comic creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett to talk about their engaging new graphic novel out now Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day from Candlewick Press. I encourage everyone to pick up Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day and to approach it with an open and curious mind. I went into it not knowing exactly what to expect and came out with a much more rounded historical perspective and love the use of a comics formatting to make what many consider a drier subject matter with history in general, far more engaging. Buy it direct from Candlewood Press. Alex's website Alex on BlueSky Further education as discussed by Alex and Andrew on the show Ajuan Mance author of Gender Studies: The Confessions of an Accidental Outlaw Bishakh Som author of Spellbound Breena Nuñez and Lawrence Lindell (I mispronounced "Lindell" and am really embarrassed!) creators of the indie comics collective Laneha House Sensitivity readers used in the book: Writing Diversely Hans Lindahl Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day From the publisher An essential introduction to trans history, from ancient times to the present day, in full-color graphic nonfiction format. Deeply researched, highly readable, and featuring a broad range of voices. What does “trans” mean, and what does it mean to be trans? Diversity in human sex and gender is not a modern phenomenon, as readers will discover through illustrated stories and records that introduce historical figures ranging from the controversial Roman emperor Elagabalus to the swashbuckling seventeenth-century conquistador Antonio de Erauso to veterans of the Stonewall uprising Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. In addition to these individual profiles, the book explores some of the societal roles played by trans people beginning in ancient times and shows how European ideas about gender were spread across the globe. It explains how the science of sexology and the growing acceptance of (and backlash to) gender nonconformity have helped to shape what it means to be trans today. Illustrated conversations with modern activists, scholars, and creatives highlight the breadth of current trans experiences and give readers a deeper sense of the diversity of trans people, a group numbering in the millions. Extensive source notes provide further resources. Moving, funny, heartbreaking, and empowering, this remarkable compendium from trans creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett is packed with research on every dynamic page. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod. If you like what we do, please consider supporting us.

It's week two of my Pride 2025 Feature and this week I'm so excited to get to hang out with two of my favorite people in comics and returning guests, Josh Trujillo and GLAAD Nominated Jude Doyle. Josh and Jude have multiple projects in the new DC Pride Special, now in it's fifth year, including one developing new DC trans character Ethan Rivera. I've already picked it up and found this new formatting where there's a common narrative thread that connects all the stories incredibly powerful. We also get to talk about one of my new favorite characters the snarky Blue Snowman and how things are looking representationally with queer characters and creators in the medium. Josh's Website Josh on BlueSky Jude's Website Jude on BlueSky DC PRIDE SPECIAL 2025 From the publisher DC Pride 2025 brings DC's heroes together when a century-old tavern, the center of queer life in Gotham City, unexpectedly announces its imminent closure. It's a huge loss to the community, and generations of patrons return to pay respects to a space they've endowed with entire lifetimes of memories, wishes and dreams—including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Alan returns, for one last time, to the place he fell for his first love, Johnny Ladd, to touch the wall on which they carved the symbol of their love, to remember the days before everything went to hell for them...and to say goodbye. But love is a kind of magic, and, in Alan's experience, magic can take on a life of its own. Before anyone knows it's happening, heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU with powerful ties to this mysterious place—the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them—find themselves spirited away to strange, alternate worlds where everything they ever thought they wanted can be theirs…but at what cost?

Kicking off my Pride Month Feature for year three on the show, today's guest is quickly amassing one of the largest bodies of queer superhero character continuum in the Marvel Comics Universe. He's a two-time GLAAD Award winning author, a three-time National Magazine Award winner, and a winner of the 2024 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ2S+ Emerging Writers. That would be comics writer Anthony Oliveira. Anthony's run on Avengers Academy has been stellar and one of my favorites on Marvel Unlimited. It's soon to be partially collected for the first time in print this June as a trade paperback and also hitting shelves will be a return for him to Marvel's Pride Month project, Marvel United: A Pride Special, which will feature Captain America and Arnie Roth. We get into both of those projects, a little bit about his cinema loves with Dumpster Raccoon, why creating new characters is important, why it's hard to let them go, and I sneak in another Hell Comes To Frogtown pitch.

Anthony Cleveland & Alex Cormack return to the Cryptid Creator Corner, together this time, to discuss their new Mad Cave series: Buried Long, Long Ago. Issue #2 is out June 4th. Anthony discusses how he first learned about Belle Gunness and how the mysteries surrounding her inspired the series. Alex discusses what attracted him to working on this as well as the inspiration for the character designs. Plus we get into some of the gnarly scenes in issue #1. Buried Long, Long Ago From the Publisher Based on true events, from 1901-1908 Belle Gunness lured dozens of lonely men to her Indiana farm and savagely murdered them for their money. Because Belle managed to avoid capture and face trial, much of this story remains untold. Until now. This is a fairy-tale retelling of her brutal crimes from the perspective of her three young children…who soon discover there is something far worse, and far more evil, than their mother on the farm.

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 Morales) on with me today to talk about his four issue mini-series The UnChosen dropping onto shelves soon from Image Comics. I got a chance to get a sneak peek of The UnChosen and it's a stunning book, and this is one of those opportunities I relish to talk to one of the best artists in the comics game to pick their brain's artistically. We get into the nitty gritty of the artistic process, how the golden child trope plays a key role in the project, the transition from vertical scroll to standard comics formatting, sexy stuff like page economy, and so much more.

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 interesting journey to becoming a floppy proprietor, a two star Michelin restaurant. Wild right? We get into all that, the differences between the distribution in the UK and the US, what some of our favorite projects of the moment are, and share a story about having Daredevil as a foundational comics character.

It's an exciting day here on the Cryptid Creator Corner as Jimmy chats with legendary writer Peter Milligan! Peter has a new series out through Mad Cave Studios with artist Val Rodrigues. The Pale Knight #1 is out May 28th. It's a fantastic first issue. Peter chats about the series, his fascination with the time period, working with Val and Mad Cave, taking inspiration from Bergman's The Seventh Seal, and creating Sir Hugh de Grey so that he feels like a man of his time but is still relatable. This is a wonderful conversation that leads into some interesting territory and you don't want to miss it. Peter's website The Pale Knight From the publisher England, 1349.

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 comics and Jon was willing to share all the ins and outs of setting up an event of this size including some really fantastic advice for newer creators looking to visit a comics convention.

Mark London returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner for the 3rd time and he's here to discuss the Mad Cave Studios Underworld Universe and the Endless Nightcrossover event. Mark has been writing the 3 series (4 issues each) leading up to Endless Night. Revolution 9, with artist Carlos Reno, Hour of the Wolf, with artist Danilo Beyruth, and Exit City, with artist Karl Mostert (sadly Karl passed away in the latter half of 2024). Each series is a different genre. Revolution 9 is high octane action about a rogue assassin, Hour of the Wolf is supernatural horror, and Exit City is neo-noir sci-fi. Now, with Endless Night, Mark has brought all three together with artist Tom Derenick. Do you want to know how? You'll have to listen to the episode, but Mark discusses the challenges of bringing these 3 disparate stories together including finding the right tone and balance. Mark also tells Jimmy about Mad Cave Digital and gives a few hints about the future of Revolution 9, Hour of the Wolf, and Exit City. Mad Cave fans, you're going to want to listen to this episode.

Adam Barnhardt joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner to discuss his current Kickstarter campaign for Lost Sun #1. This issue continues the adventures of The Magnificent McCoys from SH*TSHOW, which was initially published by Scout Comics in 2020. Jimmy has been a big fan of SH*TSHOW from the very beginning and he and Adam jump into where this new series will find the McCoys. Adam discusses what it was like having his comic set to debut right before a global pandemic hit, the comics he and his collaborators have created since then to build out this universe, balancing work, family, and comics (an all too familiar theme on this podcast). Jimmy also learns that he's NOT the Adam Barnhardt that is a stand-up comedian, but he is the Adam Barnhardt that was once the GM of the Bemidji Axemen. Listen now to find out more!

Picking up just moments after our fan-favorite SH*TSHOW concludes with the defeat of the demonic Balam, the eponymous group has taken their circus on an international tour. Unfortunately for our heroes, not all is well. The god Ra has returned under the sway of a mischievous trickster, and the McCoys stand in the way of his global domination.

Alex Segura returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner and there's so much to discuss. After finishing up writing duties on Star Wars: Battle of Jakku, Alex has taken over writing the main Star Wars title along with artist Phil Noto. Alex and Jimmy discuss Battle of Jakku and the challenge of weaving that in with the Aftermath trilogy, while also wanting to tell a compelling story and not just give fans filler. Spoiler alert: I think they nailed it. Now, with the main Star Wars title, Alex and Phil are getting to mix high adventure with the political intrigue of forming a New Republic. Alex also talks about The Question: All Along the Watchtower and Dick Tracy. This is a fantastic conversation that Star Wars fans, in particular, are not going to want to miss. Alex's website Alex's newsletter Follow Alex on Bluesky Star Wars #1 From the publisher AN EPIC NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS FOR LUKE, LEIA AND HAN IN THE WAKE OF RETURN OF THE JEDI! New York Times best-selling author ALEX SEGURA launches the bold next era of STAR WARS. LUKE SKYWALKER must defend the NEW REPUBLIC from a bloodthirsty gang of mercenaries! HAN SOLO investigates a deadly underworld mystery - and saves a surprising ally! LEIA ORGANA must grapple with a new alliance opposed to the goals of the New Republic! Dick Tracy From the publisher A new era for the iconic detective starts here, from bestselling and acclaimed authors Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, as an all-new, noir-infused chapter in the Dick Tracy legacy kicks off with superstar artist Geraldo Borges. In the aftermath of World War II, the country stands frozen–waiting for the next shoe to drop. In The City, a brutal murder draws the attention of rising star detective Dick Tracy, who soon discovers the bloodshed is just the beginning of a complicated web that threatens to ensnare everything he cares about. Blending the classic elements of the Dick Tracy world (including his iconic villains, supporting cast, and unforgettable watch radio) with a hardboiled and realistic take, DICK TRACY #1 kicks off a fresh and modern take on the iconic detective that remains true to his rich history. The Question: All Along The Watchtower From the publisher Who watches the Watchtower? In the wake of Absolute Power, the Justice League Unlimited has created a haven for all heroes—but can they keep it secure? Enter Renee Montoya, reeling from an abrupt end to her time in Go-tham and looking for a place to hang her hat. But the Trinity didn't bring her up to the Watchtower to relax—there's a dark threat bubbling underneath the surface, and only the Question and her ad hoc support team stand a chance of figuring out who the problem is before it's too late.

I've been meaning to catch up with Eisner Winning comics writer and artist Michael Walsh (Universal Monsters:Frankenstein, Nullhunters) for some time on the show. As a big fan of his work on The Silver Coin, I was particularly excited about the news that he was working on a new project with James Tynion, and what a project this is. Exquisite Corpses is unlike anything else I've ever seen. It's an indy book with a production and marketing engine rivaling the big two and backed by the full force that is Tiny Onion and its plethora of talented worker bees. I'm not typically a single issue person, usually waiting for trades but after getting an advance sneak peek at this, I'm all in every month as it will be that read in the car book many people will anxiously await each month. They've assembled an all star team of rotating talent to work on different issues but retained the same letter and colorist to maintain some visual continuity throughout. As the architect of much of the visual language of the book and its various villains, it was a joy to hear all about Michael's character design process and the unique nature of collaborating that helped create the blueprint for what will be one of the most exciting series of 2025. Michael's website Michael's shout outs Becca Carey - project letterer Courtney Maynard Exquisite Corpses From the publisher Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine—this year's unlucky arena—the goal is much simpler. They must survive the night. Experience a comics event like no other, from the minds of JAMES TYNION IV & MICHAEL WALSH, as they lead a group of the most exciting voices in the industry. Over thirteen blood-soaked chapters, these creators will collaborate and compete to determine who wins and who dies—and the games begin in this triple-sized debut! Exquisite Corpses is an extended collaboration between Tynion and Walsh, who wrote the creative bible for the series, and some of the most acclaimed and popular creators in comics, including Adam Gorham (Hellhunters), Becca Carey (Absolute Wonder Woman), Che Grayson (Dark Spaces: Good Deeds), Claire Roe (Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special), Gavin Fullerton (The Closet), Jordie Bellaire (Redlands), Marianna Ignazzi (Catwoman), Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian), Tyler Boss (You'll Do Bad Things), and Valentine De Landro (Bitch Planet).

Recent Comic Book Yeti contributor and all-around swell gentleman, Luis Godoy, joins Jimmy to talk about his current Kickstarter for This Eternal Coil. Luis discusses how at first he didn't realize the story he was writing was so personal as he channeled tragedies in his life into his writing. In particular, Luis talks about the loss of his father in the same year his son was born. One of the things that really comes through in this discussion is Luis' passion for storytelling, in general, and comics, in particular. This Eternal Coil: This Eternal Coil is a 20-page comic book about the emotional and physical journey taken by a Mexican father and his daughter after the death of their matriarch. The death sets off a chain of events which draw the father into a trip through the afterlife and the daughter to investigate the strange events left in her mother's wake.Abraham is a former private investigator and current drunk. Abraham has become obsessed with figuring out a mystery that no one believes happened, even his own daughter, Elena. Life in the world is crumbling, the world is suffering from immortality, infertility and the inability to heal from any injuries. In this world, one man offers a proprietary cure...for a cost, and in doing so has become the richest man in the world.

Ben Morse joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner today to talk about Ben's newest Kickstarter campaign for COBALT CRISIS, as Ben tackles creating his own crossover event. If you aren't familiar with the world of We Are Scarlet Twilight, it's Ben's take on Golden Age Superheroes, but with a more modern sensibility and a city setting that looks heavily influenced by Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). This is a really great conversation that covers a lot of ground about comics, superheroes, crossover/crisis events, and, not surprisingly, Fritz Lang.

I've been thinking of stories as transportation lines recently, maybe that's because I've been trying to catch up on some older Star Trek episodes lately and thinking about how transporters work too much, but there's something fascinating about that idea of being transported from the physical space in which you reside and into the one fabricated in your mind especially when someone builds some entertaining scaffolding for you in a narrative. Now the special ones, they pull a magic trick and get you trapped in between those two worlds. I believe the bougie term is a liminal space, but those stories possess a certain something that makes them legendary. I'm thinking the wardrobe in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Luke Skywalker training in the swamp on Dagobah, or anything really from David Lynch. I absolutely love these types of stories, so it is my pleasure to host cartoonist Kit Anderson on the show with me today who knows a thing or two about playing in liminal spaces. Kit is an Ignatz Award Nominee and the creator behind one of my favorite books of last year, Safer Places, which I have continually raved about, and she has new graphic novel called Second Shift dropping in July from Avery Hill in much the same vein. Safer Places From the publisher From road trips to doctors' offices to the mysterious spaces under the house, these short stories explore the secrets and magic typically unseen in everyday life. A walk through the forest, a family move, a day in a normal life—Anderson's depictions of these ordinary moments transform them with a double-take, revealing the strangeness, surreality, and transformation within. With powerful and personal emotional writing and art, thoughtfully combining magic and life as we all know it—these stories establish Kit Anderson as a presence in short comics-format fiction. Second Shift From the publisher The future. AI and algorithmic influence has become prevalent. Humans are groomed to be usefully applied by the megacorporations that control Earth. Some “choose” to work on new colonies off-world. Most of the time they spend as “Drop-Ins,” suspended in a digital environment. They live out intricate artificial lives, are entertained, socialise with AIs, and undergo occupational training. Until they are woken… Alone on a TERRACORP outpost, Birdie Doran and a few other employees serve on isolated shifts processing comets and asteroids for terraforming. When Birdie discovers a second station, abandoned and strange, she starts to see what her job--her life--really is. Ignatz Award-nominated author Kit Anderson presents a psychological science fiction exploration of the lines between reality inside and outside the mind.

Paul Carroll joins Jimmy on the podcast today to discuss the Kickstarter campaign for the 5th Limit Break Comics Anthology: Bump in the Night, which, and how cool is this, it's all about Cryptids! Limit Break has put out some amazing anthologies: Turning Roads, Down Below, Fractured Realms, and Wish Upon a Star. This newest anthology mashes up cryptids and ecological horror. Of course there's a Yeti story in it, and Jimmy wrote it. Paul talks about putting these anthologies together, what he looks for in a submission, teases some of the cryptids in it, and talks about some of his other recent work. Jimmy also tells Paul how much it meant to him and Bobby last year at Dublin Comic-Con that Paul invited them both out to dinner and then to a pub, which led to Bobby's "Oh, wow" moment with Declan Shalvey. If you haven't heard that story before, listen to the episode to find out.

Last time Gerry Duggan was on the show, we were talking about his photography project Timing/Luck and ironically what made me a fan of his work isn't The X-Men or any other of the of great titles and characters he's penned and developed over the years, what made me fall in love with it was a breakdancing skeleton named Walt. You might be asking yourself why that may be. A few years ago I lost one of my best friends to a motorcycle accident and at the time while processing the grief as best I could, Walt dropped in the pages of The Dark Room, a book Gerry cooked up with the uber talented Magic Johnson of comics Scott Buoncristiano. Walt's energy was a mirror image of my friend Tommy's, and it turns out The Dark Room was a project centered around the loss of one of Gerry and Scott's mutual friends so this project has been one of dealing with grief through comedy, and I'm forever grateful to them both for being willing to share that vulnerability with the world. This series will go down as one of my favorite of all time and it was a pleasure to get a chance to pick Gerry and Scott's brains about some of the motivations behind it in advance of the second volume being released later this year. Gerry on BlueSky Scott's website The Dark Room Volume 2 from Image Comics From the publisher Gerry Duggan (X-Men & Uncanny Avengers) rejoins your favorite artists Scott & Tamra for the anticipated return of your favorite fantasy/horror/comedy series!

I've got a family history with moonshine. It started when I was a little kid riding around on my grandfather's tractor. He always had a half gallon Mayfield milk jug full of something or other he'd periodically take a swig from and, yes, more often than not the later on in the day it got, the more likely we were to end up in a ditch but that was all part of the fun of our time together. Later I learned he was a part of the illicit trade selling homebrew supplies out the back of his grocery store and was investigated by the AFT, the revenuers to us. We've got a locally famous peach brandy recipe made with a touch of molasses, ok maybe more than a touch. So, you couple that with the fact that I'm the Editor-In-Chief of Comic Book Yeti where we are all about those cryptids and it felt like a no brainer to reach out to the creative team of the new Image Comics series Moonshine Bigfoot. I wrangled industry vet Zach Howard and his protégé Clara Meath on with me to hear all about it. I've been trying to cover more comedy comics projects lately, and this is by far one of the best I've seen in some time. I adore this book. Where else is a bigfoot the normal guy as he navigates aliens, clandestine Illuminati, cryptid hunters, and drunken Smerfs hangining out in a bar with Fantasy Island's Tattoo. You read that right. Make sure to snag yourself a copy of this southern fried gem of a book.

Johanna Taylor joins Jimmy on the podcast today to talk about The Ghostkeeper, her original graphic novel that came out in July 2024. Jimmy loved the premise of The Ghostkeeper so much he had to chat with Johanna about it. Now that he's read it and recorded the podcast he's been more devoted than ever around the Yeti Cave to convert others to readers. Johanna is an illustrator and artist with a BFA in animation. She discusses the story and art of The Ghostkeeper, the influence of Oscar Wilde, and finding inspiration as she travels. Jimmy and Johanna discuss some of the important themes of The Ghostkeeper, including dealing with loss and grief, burnout, taking on too much and feeling like you can't ask for help, the importance of caring for your mental health. They discuss all of this within the context of Johanna's beautiful art style. This is a wonderful conversation about a phenomenal graphic novel. The Ghostkeeper has also recently been translated into French AND Johanna was accepted to the Chateau Orqueveaux artist residency! She will be in France the end of April until mid-May. She'll be a guest at the Rayon Vert Comic Festival, and will have book signings in Chaumont, Nancy, and Paris. So if we have any French listeners, be on the lookout for Johanna! Buy The Ghostkeeper here: https://theghostkeeper.carrd.co/ Check out Johanna's website: https://www.johannamation.com/ Follow Johanna on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/johannamation.bsky.social Here is how the publisher describes The Ghostkeeper: Dorian Leith can see ghosts. Not only that, he listens to their problems and tries to help them move on to the afterlife. It's a gift that's made him an outcast to everyone in town. That is except for his dearly departed grandmother, who he's partnered with to turn this paranormal ability into an honest living, and the local bookshop owner, who seems to be the only non-deceased person willing to give him a chance. But it's all worth it to Dorian, who feels like he's been given a bigger purpose. A chance to save those who cannot save themselves. Then one day, the key to Death's Door is stolen, trapping all the ghosts in the land of the living. Since he's only one who can see them, the spirits rely on Dorian to retrieve the key before it is too late. If they can't move on, they'll soon be consumed by a ghostly rot that has begun to plague them. As it continues to fester and spread, and the ghosts become desperate for relief, Dorian must do whatever it takes to find a way to bring peace to the restless dead—even if that peace comes at the cost of his own….

Sometimes you just need a good diversion to distract you from the dumpster fire that is modern life and few things can immediately take you on the emotional rollercoaster like a good satirical dystopian narrative so I've got first time guest Alice Darrow on with me today to help me break down what is the surprise comic book of 2025 for me, Tramps of the Apocalypse. Sitting somewhere between Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Idiocracy, this is a hilarious dressing down of the modern manosphere through the lens of three damsels causing much distress in 2094 in a world ruled by Quest Ragnor, King Of Males as terrible dudes seek to do what terrible dudes would do in a scenario such as this. Do yourself a favor and make sure to put it on your radar. Tramps of the Apocalypse from Dark Horse Comics From the publisher The year is 2094, and men rule the world. So what has changed in seventy years, you ask? Following the ten-year Sildenafil wars of 2053, Earth has become a barren wasteland. Factions of surviving men led by “Quest Ragnor, King of Males” have taken over the remnants of cities and towns across the globe, capturing and enslaving all women…Well, all women except for three super bimbos with unparalleled bloodlust and an unquenchable thirst for violence: Baby, Belladonna, and Babette. Unwilling to bend to the whims and desires of the buffoons in charge, too slippery to be caught, and too sexy for chains, these three bangin' babes are at the top of Quest Ragnor's most wanted list. Unfortunately for him, they couldn't care less. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod. If you like what we do, please consider supporting us. We got two simple tiers, $1 and $3.

What do you get when you cross a beloved British baking competition show and an Agatha Christie-like mystery? The Great British Bump-Off! John Allison joins Jimmy to talk about the 4 issue series he wrote with artist Max Sarin. John talks about the development of the series, being a fan of The Great British Bake Off, and why after writing the series he doesn't think he can watch the show anymore. Jimmy and John discuss the things they do to replenish the well of creativity and John chats about his early exposure to US sitcoms. This all leads to talk about John and Max's follow-up The Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt, out April 9th from Dark Horse Comics. The title was something John had on hand for some time until he realized it could be the perfect sequel for the further adventures of Shauna Wickle. Listen as Jimmy learns from John how the quilting and comic industry are fairly similar, including quilting conventions!

I've been talking and thinking recently about the intersection of comedy and comics. It's sort of right there in the name but it's rare to see a comedy forward book released right now which strikes me as particularly odd given the challenging times in which we are living mid 2025 when we could all use a good laugh. My guest today, Anthony Iannaccio, is no stranger to comedy as one of the hosts of the popular podcast Comics and Chronic and he's making his inaugural debut with a new 28-page action/comedy deconstructing the monomyth called Superguy funding and already funded on Kickstarter as we speak. Links: Anthony Iannaccio LinkTree Comics and Chronic Podcast Superguy on Kickstarter From the Kickstarter page Superguy is a 28-page action-comedy comic book written by Anthony Iannaccio and drawn/lettered by Joey Murphy. In the original 10 page Superguy one-shot, which every backer will receive a FREE digital copy of, we introduced the lazy, narcissistic hero Superguy and his once enemy, now turned (unappreciated) sidekick, Robotguy. In this first full-length, 28 page action-packed issue, Robotguy is eager to prove himself as a bonafied hero but Superguy doesn't appreciate the spotlight being taken away from him...

The intersection of the genres of horror and humor is a fascinating one. It's something I've brought up several times on the podcast since my first chat with comics writer Kyle Starks. They share the same cadence and rhythms, and it should be no surprise that the recipe comes out as delicious as peanut butter and chocolate, so I was delighted to see Steve Urena's email hit my InBox as someone who's work blending the two I've come to admire. Over the last few years, he's been throwing clever trope combos into the proverbial blender and knocking out successful crowdfunding campaigns ranging from the chronicles of murder sloths with Slow Pokes, to destroying Christmas in X-Maschina (don't stop believing Santa), and now he's back at that most hallowed of American institutions, the mall, with Zombie Date Night 2. Zombie Date Night 2 is funding right now on Kickstarter. From the campaign page Still recovering from the awkwardness of their first Zombie Date Night, main characters Jack and Ginger have reached the scariest place to be…the friend zone. When their survival group realizes they're running out of food, the enthusiastic and outgoing Ginger leads the charge with a very reluctant Jack to find sustenance before the zombaes (zombies who can only survive with a mate) eat them first. Will the second date be better than the first or will this situationship be food for the undead? PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

C. Brennan Knight joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner to chat about the current Kickstarter campaign for Tyrant Fall #3, which launches today, April 1st. You can hit the link below to check out the campaign. Brennan describes Tyrant Fall as if Dragon Ball Z was published by Heavy Metal Magazine. He has a long plan for the series and discusses the origins of the series with Jimmy, along with working with artist Max Davenport. Brennan also talks about being a natural introvert and how the promotional part of the crowdfunding experience is particularly exhausting. Tyrant Fall is a great series and Jimmy says fans of Remender and Opena's Seven to Eternity will love, plus the remainder of the creative team is the extremely talented Roman Stevens and Rob Jones. From the KS page for Tyrant Fall #1: Thousands of years ago, the elven Fae Lords benevolently ruled over the world, overseeing an era of peace. Witnessing the ascend of human civilization, the Fae Lords returned to their home realm, the Fae. To mankind, they bestowed two final gifts: dominion of the world and the ancient knowledge of magic. The Fae Lords peace ended at the hands of the Dragons, tyrants who rose to power as they warred amongst themselves. Their strength, inhuman. Their rule, absolute. None have escaped their oppression. But there are those ready to fight the impossible fight to free the world from tyranny. Enter Myrta, warrior of the Rebellion, humanity's last resistance against the Dragons. As a child, she could only watch and run as the Red Dragon destroyed her life. Now, fifteen years later, she has returned. Armed with the power to get her vengeance, Myrta readies to attack the Red Dragon's citadel. Little does she know what fate awaits her within.
