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. Be sure to check out all the links below after listening to the episode.

John Lees returns to the podcast to discuss his newest comic from Mad Cave Studios: ORLA! John has partnered with Sally Cantirino, Dearbhla Kelly, and Lucas Gattoni for this tale of love and monsters, well, one monster in particular, The Ick. John and Jimmy discuss some of the terrible men Orla finds herself dating, the wonderful visual jokes the incredible Sally Cantirino added to the story, and the fun of making a comic with all the tropes of a romantic comedy. John also talks about the current Kickstarter campaign for Grawlgore & Shanks that he worked on with Joe Mulvey being published by ComixTribe. It's Lord of the Rings meets Knives Out, and it looks incredible. John is a fantastic storyteller who is so passionate about the collaboration of making comics and it's great to have him back on the podcast.  From the Publisher Love is a monster. Orla Bard is an antique restorer, romance novel enjoyer and keen birder. She also believes in true love, continuing to navigate Seattle's singles scene despite repeated disappointment. But Orla has a secret. She is afflicted with The Ick, a man-eating monstrous entity dwelling inside her, who violently emerges whenever she gets too angry or afraid. Unable to rid herself of this curse, Orla uses The Ick to save other women by removing the scummiest men from the dating pool…permanently. Hearts (and bodies) will be broken in this offbeat romcom/creature-feature mashup! Order ORLA Check out Grawlgore & Shanks #1 on Kickstarter Follow John on Bluesky Follow Comic Book Yeti

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.

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.

The book club reaches episode 300, and to celebrate I'm joined by Pete Wells to count down the top ten covers from the first 300 progs as voted for by listeners. There are a couple of surprises along the way and you can view a montage of the top ten covers here.

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.

Ben and Rob feel “DREDD”, the 2013 Pete Travis directed adaptation of 2000AD's megastar character Judge Dredd, starring Karl Urban, Lena Headey and Olivia Thirlby. Written by Alex Garland (director of ‘Ex Machina', ‘Civil War', ‘Warfare'), ‘DREDD' struggled to make back its budget, despite good reviews and praise for its accuracy to the source material. But why did ‘DREDD' flop so hard at the box office? Was it the studio's awful need for this to be ‘DREDD 3D'? The general public not knowing who the hell Judge Dredd is? Or was it due to a certain secret director having to save the project from Pete Travis, the credited leader of the adaptation?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

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

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!  Back Lost Sun #1 on Kickstarter Follow Adam on Bluesky Get the Meltdown Press Newsletter More about Lost Sun #1: Lost Sun is the next volume in The Magnificent McCoys, the foundational series of Meltdown Press' RiotVerse. 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. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

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.     Back This Eternal Coil on Kickstarter Follow Luis on Bluesky Luis' other links PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

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. This can be a great jumping on point if you haven't checked out We Are Scarlet Twilight.

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.

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!
