It's a special Halloween episode as Jimmy chats with Nandor Fox Shaffer about the current Kickstarter campaign for SEASONS volumes 1 and 2. Jimmy was blown away by this series that Nandor and artist Anthony Gonzales-Clark have been working on for a number of years. It's unbelievable that this was Anthony's first comics project as the art is phenomenal. Nandor chats with Jimmy about the series, his comic book origin story, the influences of Brubaker and Hickman, and a whole lot more. This is a wonderful conversation. Be sure to check out the link below to back SEASONS on Kickstarter. The campaign will be live until November 20th. SEASONS is a planned four-volume supernatural graphic novel series (nearly 500 pages altogether) created and written by Nandor Fox Shaffer with art and lettering by Anthony Gonzales-Clark. With the first two hardcover printings sold out and the third volume in the works, the hit series now returns in all-new trade paperback editions!  Back SEASONS on Kickstarter Follow Nandor on Bluesky Check out other places you can find Nandor Follow Comic Book Yeti

There's zero doubt, Absolute Batman Annual #1 will be one of the year's most talked-about comics. Featuring three stories by Daniel Warren Johnson, Mike Spicer, James Harren, Dave Stewart, Meredith McClaren, and Clayton Cowles, this hefty comic centers on the early Absolute Universe adventures of Bruce Wayne, revealing how that chonky Batmobile came to be, and just how Black Mask's party animals first encountered the Dark Knight. We read the comic a couple of weeks back, and the instant we flipped that last page, we were compelled to get Daniel Warren Johnson into a Zoom room. Thankfully, he obliged. Johnson's untitled story makes up the bulk of the Absolute Batman Annual. It propels Absolute Batman against a white supremacist horde, showcasing some of the most brutal action from the ongoing series so far, while doing so in a way that questions that violence's effectiveness. As Daniel Warren Johnson has showcased in other comics like Murder Falcon, Do a Powerbomb!, and his recent run on Transformers, badass, jaw-dropping visuals are only half his might as a creator. DWJ breaks hearts as often as he breaks bones. “It's in my blood and it's boiling, and I have to get it out.” In an exclusive conversation with Comic Book Couples Counseling, Johnson explains how his tale in the Absolute Batman Annual came to pass. We discuss his reluctance to contribute to the world so expertly crafted by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, and how one single image eventually caused him to put everything he had into this character and universe. Daniel Warren Johnson tells us why supplying only compelling, catastrophic action isn't enough for him as a storyteller. He requires more than an exclamation point to climax his stories. He needs a question. Absolute Batman Annual is now available from DC Comics. Make sure you're following Daniel Warren Johnson on Blue Sky, Instagram, and his Website.

We all crave a good meal. The challenge is savoring it once it's placed before you. Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner have wickedly, and delightfully, discovered a way to make Bram Stoker's Dracula not one good dish, but three...and possibly four and five. For the last several years, they've transformed the classic vampire novel into a feast impossible to gobble down in one sitting. By taking throwaway sentences in the book and building two graphic novels out of them (Dracula Book I: The Impaler, Dracula Book II: The Brides), they've miraculously extended their love affair with Vlad, and ours in the process as well. Now, with Dracula Book III: The Count, which only has a week left on Kickstarter, Jones and Kelley properly excavate Bram Stoker's book. This third entry tackles the iconic plot, but only from Count Dracula's perspective. We all know this story from Jonathan Harker, Mina, and Van Helsing's point of view, but how did the vicious beast at the center of their fear experience the whole endeavor? No more letters. Only the Count's singular, hungry howl of self. We've read and watched many Dracula adaptations, but none as exhaustive and creative as this. As a result, this week's podcast had to match Jones and Wagner's studious passion. All together, we dig deep into their previous entry, Dracula Book II: The Brides. We discuss how, in chaining themselves to Dracula's perspective, they create unparalleled empathy for the monster and his godless pursuits. Is there danger in that? Again, Dracula: The Count only has seven days left on its Kickstarter campaign. Please visit the crowdfunding project by clicking HERE.

Transplanting the Doughboys from one medium to another demands collaborators with a firm grasp on both worlds. Podcasters Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger know their realm, but require a few comic book maniacs to hurl them confidently into the sequential playground. Enter writer Alex Firer and artist Fred C. Stressing (also, colorist Meg Casey). Not only did Firer and Stresing grow up stewing in comics, but they've spent the last several years working together on the Rick and Morty books from Oni Press. They bring with them a strong passion for Harvey Kurtzman, Grant Morrison, and Krazy Kat. They're equally pickled in Doughboys lore, and after a little back and forth with Mitch and Wiger, could decipher the podcast into the epic quest called Doughboys: The Comic Book - Mitch and Wiger Chew America - Crisis on Infinite Girths. Last week, we spoke with Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger about how they found their way into a comic book, and this week, we're speaking with Alex Firer and Fred C. Stresing about how they helped make that wild fantasy a reality. Also, as a result of hosting the Harvey Awards at New York Comic Con last weekend, we're stewing in Harvey Kurtzman's world ourselves, and his influence is easily identified in the Doughboys Comic Book. It's a joy to discuss madcap comedy, especially the funny book variety, with these two. Make sure you're following the Doughboys on your favorite podcast app, or just click here.

From the Publisher: THE BROTHERS WINCHESTER RETURN!Get ready to hit the road again with Dean and Sam as they prowl the highways and byways of small-town America in search of demonic wrongdoing to put right! Set between the foundational first and second seasons of the landmark television series, this brand-new title from acclaimed author GREG PAK (Darth Vader, Lilo & Stitch) and preternaturally gifted artist EDER MESSIAS (Sam Wilson: Captain America) brings readers back to where the dark magic first began - and reveals a disturbing new threat that the bickering brothers will have to face before they can return to hunting down the demon who killed their mother.t In this first issue, the monster hunters must uncover the entity responsible for a series of mysterious fires in a decaying rust belt town - attacks that begin with a Windler Industries factory burning down, and then escalate to several Windler employees themselves going up in flames. But finding the malevolent force behind the otherworldly arsons may not be as straightforward as it might seem - especially once the suspiciously well-prepared CEO Steff Windler gets personally involved! Featuring atmospherically arresting covers from CLAYTON CRAIN, DAVID COUSENS, and EDER MESSIAS, each issue of Supernatural also includes a special PHOTO cover showcasing the beloved cast of the hit show!

Weeks ago, we told you to keep an eye glued to the Macabre Valley #1 Kickstarter from writer Zack Quaintance and artist Anna Readman. Now, you have only one week left to back the project and secure yourself a copy of this fiendishly fun comic. Based on Quaintance's own experiences reporting along the American/Mexican border, Macabre Valley tells a viciously recognizable story, energized by Anna Readman's gnarly creature designs and trippy sequential storytelling. You can even support the project knowing you'll receive your comic soon, as Macabre Valley has surpassed its funding goal spectacularly. To celebrate and encourage last-minute stragglers, we're thrilled to have Zack Quaintance back on the podcast this week to discuss the werewolf priest at Macabre Valley's center, and he's even joined this time by his talented collaborator Anna Readman (making her podcast debut, no less). We discuss what makes the best werewolves and how both creators relate to the real-life horror that surrounds the fantastical horror throughout Macabre Valley. The conversation considers uniforms, from the lawful to the hirsute, and the influence they have on those who wear them. Finally, it leaves the listener imagining a wild, wonderful alternate reality where Cormac McCarthy wrote for EC Comics. Again, Macabre Valley #1 is currently seeking funding via Kickstarter. It's written by Zack Quaintance, illustrated by Anna Readman, colored by Brad Simpson, and lettered by Becca Carey. Please follow Zack Quaintance on Blue Skyand Instagram, and follow Anna Readman on her Website and Instagram.

When Francis Ford Coppola shoots you an email asking you to transform his new movie into a comic book, you say yes and worry about the details later. Chris Ryall got the email. Once he got over the shock ot it, he immediately knew who to contact next: Comic Book Couples Counseling regular, Jacob Phillips. They couldn't have possibly understood what an undertaking they were committing to during those early days, but nearly five years later, they have the Megalopolisgraphic novel in their hands. It's something special. As you'll hear on this week's podcast, Francis Ford Coppola wanted Ryall and Phillips to make the comic their own. If that meant chopping up the script or fabricating the designs, so be it. Jacob Phillips approaches the likenesses the way he would any corporate comic character. If he were on Batman, he'd do his version of Batman. So, he'd apply the same logic to Adam Driver. The actor is the design, but the pencils and inks belong to Phillips. The magic is in how the movie and the comic, crafted independently of each other, aligned so well together. Chatting with Ryall and Phillips allowed us to celebrate both artistic mediums. We discuss the challenges of translating cinematic ideas onto panels, the need for repertoire stories, and the hope within Francis Ford Coppola's humanism. Before all that, however, we also discuss the new documentary, Shopping for Superman. Directed by Wes Eastin, the film travels across America, from one comic book shop to another. It's a must-watch for every comic book reader, as it honors the industry while contemplating where it's all going in the wake of Diamond Comic Distributors' destruction. Megalopolis, the comic, is published by Abrams ComicArts and arrives in shops on October 7th. Make sure you're following Chris Ryall on his Substack, Instagram, and Blue Sky.

I can't believe I'm typing this, but this is the 400th episode of the Cryptid Creator Corner!!! For this very special 400th episode Jimmy chats with first time guest Meghan Fitzmartin about her and Lisa Sterle's new series with Boom Studios: Mary Sue. Issue 1 is out October 8th. Jimmy and Meghan chat about the origins of the term "Mary Sue", the value in fan fiction, how much of Meghan is in the character of Cassie, TV shows that were cancelled too soon, and, of course, Meghan's time in the Supernatural writer's room. Meghan penned the episodes "Peace of Mind" (Season 14) and "Drag Me Away (From You)" (Season 15). From the Publisher: Despite what her mom thinks, Cassie has lots of friends—they just all happen to be online, where she can talk to them about her beloved favorite show, Riverview, and get their feedback on her fan fic WIP, starring Jessica, her very own hot vampire OC. But her fic writing persona is revealed to the entire school when her former best friend finds it and can't resist reading some of it out loud to their classmates. Cassie thinks things can't get more humiliating, until her very own Mary Sue pops right out of her fic to save the day—or make it much, much worse.

If you find yourself at the center of the Venn diagram of comic book nerds and Shakespeare nerds, this is definitely the episode for you! Amy Chase returns to the podcast to talk about ABUZZ, her new Maverick graphic novel with artist Stelladia that is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. I've had a chance to read an advanced copy and it's phenomenal! It's such a clever update and Stelladia's art is amazing. Plus ABUZZ is colored by Ellie Wright and lettered by Taylor Esposito. Amy talks about how she thought someone should make this book for a long time until she finally decided to do it herself. We talk about our love of Shakespeare, other adaptations of Much Ado, centering Claudio and Hero in the story, getting Bea and Ben's dialogue just right, and the importance of queer representation. This is such a great conversation. I know you're going to love it. ABUZZ is coming from Maverick on November 18th.   Order ABUZZ From the Publisher: Shakespeare's beloved romcom Much Ado About Nothing gets a modern update with an LGBTQ cast and the same classic miscommunications! Feuding senior students Ben and Beatriz drag half of Messina High into their never-ending arguments, making things difficult as budding sweethearts Hero and Claudio are asked to pick sides in the battle. All the while, the bad kids, led by outcast DJ, are plotting to capitalize on the chaos and rule the school for themselves. With college letters and prom night on the horizon, will these students find their happy ending or feel the sting of total rejection?

I am so excited for folks to hear this episode. Matthew has been in comics for quite some time and has now made a second act (I think in the episode he says a 3rd act) to his career as an artist and writer of YA, Middle Grade, and Kids graphic novels. Matthew and I talk about the upcoming The October Girl from Maverick (out October 21st) that has been in Matthew's head since college. This graphic novel, which had an earlier life back in 2012, has been a long time coming. And let me tell you, it's fantastic, with a grounded main character in Autumn and her not so imaginary friend, Barnaby. Matthew and I talk about the story and its history. He also shares how he broke into comics and how the pandemic caused him to work more on his own stuff like Amelia Shadows, Johnny Chaos, and Arch Nemesis. Plus we chat about some of his favorite DC characters like Blue Devil. I loved chatting with Matthew and I think you're gonna love this episode.  Pre-order The October Girl From the Publisher: Autumn Ackerman grew up believing in fairies and magic and princesses who defeated dragons, but now that she's eighteen and facing a future stuck behind the counter of her small town's coffee shop, she's starting to wonder if this is all there really is to her life. But then she meets her childhood imaginary friend, Barnaby, in the alley behind the coffee shop one night. Autumn's entire world is turned upside down. Drawn into the strange and mysterious world of the Night Folk, fantastic creatures that inspired all of humanity's myths about gods and monsters, Autumn is about to discover that there is more to her world than she ever dreamed of as a little girl, and that world is far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. With the help of Barnaby and Evan Fade, the tragic young boy who inherited the local bookstore, Autumn has to protect herself from the coldly terrifying Mr. Balloon long enough to discover the truth about the Night Folk and her own past.

Zac Thompson returns to the podcast for a deep dive into Into the Unbeing! Gear up because Zac and Jimmy are heading into the depths of the leviathan to talk about climate change in comics, writing characters with different perspectives, the batshit insane panel layouts that the incomparable Hayden Sherman employed, and what a pro Jim Campbell is. Into the Unbeing goes to some incredible places and it's a comic where each issue presents surprises and new ways to tell this story. This is an incredible conversation with Zac. He also talks about the follow-up to Cemetery Kids Don't Die, Cemetery Kids Run Rabid. Issue 1 is out August 13th. You can get volume 1 of Into the Unbeing right now. Volume 2 will be out through Dark Horse Comics on October 7th. WHAT IS INTO THE UNBEING VOL. 2 ALL ABOUT: For centuries, The UnBeing, a seemingly malevolent corpse, has swallowed all who dare tread near its sprawling mass. Now, the last survivors of a climate science team are trapped inside with only a mysterious humanoid known as The Stranger to guide them out. This incomprehensible Stranger claims to be a 19th Century British explorer. It claims to know the way back to the surface. It claims a new world is on its way. Perhaps if you listen closely, you can hear it breathing. But what is the cost of this new world? And who will be left to live in it?Picking up directly after the events of Part One, the remaining survivors form a distrustful and desperate team. Together they must journey across impossible landscapes and contend with their own changing biology in order to find their way back home. As their journey into the Unbeing deepens, the series' most disturbing questions are answered… but the answers offer little comfort.   Into the Unbeing vol. 1 Into the Unbeing vol. 2 Cemetery Kids Run Rabid Cemetery Kids Don't Die vol. 1 Check out Zac's website Follow Zac on Bluesky Follow Comic Book Yeti

For this film club episode we dodged hordes of the rage infected to end up in another London dungeon! Damian Lubanski earns his fifth star and covers one of the big horror films of the year.

Sometimes a graphic novel comes along that is so good, as soon as I'm done reading it, I immediately read it again. That's what happened with Hello Sunshine, the newest graphic novel by Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator Keezy Young. I first encountered Keezy's work when I read Sunflowers, an autobio comic about one person's experience living with bipolar disorder. I was blown away by how personal and intimate the comic was and reached out to Keezy to be on the podcast. They graciously agreed and sent me a copy of Hello Sunshine. It's an absolutely gorgeous hardcover, but the story and art in its pages may end up being the best graphic novel I've read in 2025. Keezy and I chat about Sunflowers and Hello Sunshine, the fine line they walk in telling this story of mental illness and the supernatural, the visual language of the comic, destygmatizing mental illness, their creative process, and the incredible lettering. You do not want to miss this episode.  WHAT IS HELLO SUNSHINE ALL ABOUT: In this lush and romantic queer horror graphic novel, a troubled teen disappears from his small town—sending his loved ones on a paranormal journey to bring him home.Noah is heartbroken. He returns from Bible camp to find that Alex, his secret boyfriend, has had a breakdown and disappeared. He wishes more than anything that he hadn't left that day. Sky is determined. She'll stop at nothing to find her childhood friend, even if it means alienating the people she loves. Izzy is ashamed. She knew something weird was going on with Alex, and she didn't say anything to her boyfriend, Jamie—Alex's twin brother. If she had, would Alex still be here? Jamie is angry. Angry at Alex for being gone, angry at himself for not noticing something was wrong, and angry at his long-dead mother, Desdemona, who had problems of her own.But what if there was something more to Desdemona's demons? Why is Jamie seeing her ghost? And can he get past his hatred of her if it means finding out what happened to his brother?

I love samurai, the code, the fashion, I mean, who doesn't so when I saw that comics writer/artist Ibrahim Moustafa was working on a samurai centric project, I immediately reached out to chat about it. After getting a look at the actual pages, it should come as no surprise that as an adept at blending genre, he's knocking it out of the park again with his forthcoming East meets West Humanoids project Halfblood funding soon on Kickstarter. I get annoyed sometimes at the panel economization of fight choreography in comics as a daily martial arts practitioner, but was pleasantly surprised with how meticulously this was researched and executed . We chat about that, vampires, the white savior trope, and sculpting figurines which if you haven't checked out his YouTube channel, consider giving it a follow if sculpting or just collecting them is your thing.  

Balazs Lorinczi returns to the podcast to talk about his newest graphic novel A Bite of Pepper. Balazs was last on the podcast to talk about Wolfpitch, which was a graphic novel I loved, so I was happy to have him back on to talk about A Bite of Pepper, which will be out on August 26th. Balazs and I chat about mixing vampires and skateboarding, the history of vampire lore, creating grounded characters, and pivoting during the editing process when you're faced with the possibility of having to rework completed pages. A Bite of Pepper is another fantastic graphic novel and it was a blast to chat with Balazs again. I love his approach to character and storytelling. Check out this episode and then go grab a copy of Wolfpitch and A Bite of Pepper. 

Conrad is back to discuss the new Fantastic Four movie. We talk about spoilers for Reed Richards' master plan from 19:51-26:07 so maybe avoid that section if you haven't seen the film yet.

As regular listeners will know, I spent seven years living in the greater Puget Sound area and despite having lived in eight different states, it's one of two places that will always be home to me. There's something about small Washington State towns that can feel delightfully out of time and there's no greater contrast to them than the technology centric hub that is Seattle crowned by its futuristic Space Needle. It elicits a range of complex emotions as a former local that the visitor will never understand primary among them is a clash between modern advancement and the struggle of smaller coastal communities to hold onto their ways of life and cultural identities. This was my personal filter going into reading The Stoneshore Register, a delightful new graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics and I have the perfect person to hang out to tell us all about it, first time guest G. Willow Wilson. Yes, I do go off on a bit of a tangent about gardening but we'll call that a Poison Ivy interlude, and we wrap things up covering what we can expect to see in Marvel's new ongoing Black Cat series.  

You might not think digital coloring brushes screams excitement—but hear me out. The Last Band On Earth is hands-down one of my surprise sleeper hits of 2025, and I'm psyched to welcome first-time guest Elaine M. Will onto the show. We're diving into her process, geeking out over digital brushes, and pulling back the curtain on her eerie, hilarious, and heartfelt new graphic novel chock full of demons and tentacles. Elaine, creator of the Xeric Award–winning Look Straight Ahead, has a knack for highlighting the struggles of mental health using a unique combination of horror and humor storytelling in her work and this was no exception. Having spent over fifteen years in the trenches with bands, I know the depressive shadow that can follow musicians around and I'm delighted to get a chance to expose more people to it through highlighting this book.  

Christopher Cantwell returns to the podcast to discuss his upcoming graphic novel: KID MAROON. Chris has teamed up with Victor Santos and Vault Comics to tell this story of a hard-boiled kid detective on the streets of Crimeville. Chris chats with Jimmy about the origins of this series, the incredible work of Victor Santos, and the hilarious "life" of Pep Shepard. Chris discusses the joy of collaboration, making sure the story works for the medium you're working in, and how KID MAROON could only work as a comic. Plus, Chris talks about the upcoming RED SHIRTS and the trade for OUT OF ALCATRAZ. There's so much great stuff coming out from Chris! KID MAROON comes out September 24th.

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.
