In Episode #711, it's time to return to my interview with Tom Sniegoski, who is the scripter for the Herculoids series from Dynamite Entertainment! Tom and I talk about the animated series that started it all as well as take a deep dive into the various characters and what made this show a favorite of fans even decades later! Here's how the comic is described: “The legendary planet of Amzot sits in the far reaches of deepest, darkest space. It's a planet of extreme riches, but those who seek it out are routinely struck by untold disaster and terrible fates. Anyone who manages to survive to tell the tale speaks of horrific, imposing guardian monsters that protect it. Yet raiders and explorers continue coming, only to meet the Herculoids again and again! The creators invite fans to adventure with the Herculoids as they protect their home, and even they will learn even bigger secrets about their planet.” Tom also discusses the art from collaborator Craig Rousseau, which many fans are also already looking forward to enjoying! The series just released issue #8, so things are going well for the Herculoids!

Brian is an award-winning producer of feature films, music videos, art installations, and even a Super Bowl commercial! He's also a self-proclaimed donut aficionado who has travel the world to find the best donut. Dracula's Brunch Club is described this way: “Have you ever wondered how vampires got their taste for blood?

Get ready to sink your fangs into the hilarious new graphic novel from debut author Brian Gonsar.” We discuss how Brian embarked on his comics career as well as how he found his artist/co-creator Keenan Gaybba, who the various characters are, and what we can expect from Brian in the months ahead!
