It's never been easier to get 2000 AD: The Galaxy's Greatest Comic in your grubby, American mitts. Stop what you're doing. Grab your phone. Call your shop. Get your Progs and Megazines in your pullbox. If you need any more convincing than that, then Drokk, do we have an episode for you today. As San Diego Comic-Con International begins its finale, we chat with 2000 AD Thrill-Cast hosts Michael Molcher and Chloe Maveal. We discuss 2000 AD's relationship with America, how it shaped the entire modern comics industry, and which books you need to jam into your eyeballs immediately. 2000 AD has already had a brilliant San Diego Comic-Con with multiple panels (one hosted by us) discussing our dystopian present, teasing the upcoming Rogue Trooper movie directed by Duncan Jones, and slapping some of the prettiest produced comics in the hands of new readers who stumbled into their booth. I'm not sure we can make Judge Dredd fiction again, but 2000 AD is doing its damnedest to stimulate conversation while providing some of the wildest entertainment this medium has to offer. Make sure you hop over to 2000 AD, subscribe to the Thrill-Cast, follow Molcher on Instagram, and Maveal on Bluesky and Patreon.

Something magical is happening between the first and second arcs of FML, the Dark Horse Comics series. Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick is passing scripting duties to her husband, Matt Fraction. Since the book began as a melodramatic amplification of her family experience, it seems natural, but we don't think such a regime change has ever happened before in comics. David López will remain on art, showcasing some of the most extraordinary comics skills we've ever encountered and pushing the medium to its very heights. However, with this shift in perspective, FML becomes a comic every reader should pull (if they weren't already, cuz those first eight issues exemplify the power of comic books). As San Diego Comic-Con International rages into its third day (Saturday), we chat with Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction about FML. We discuss their unique working habits, how they play off each other, and how they don't. This all has something to do with physics and jazz, but we won't tell you how - you'll have to listen. This is our second FML related episode. Make sure you listen to Kelly Sue DeConnick's first appearance on the podcast, as that establishes how her family informs the comic. Today's episode is one we could not have predicted when we had that first one, but we're so excited at the direction FML has taken. FML issues 1 - 8 are out now from Dark Horse Comics. They're written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, illustrated by David López, colored by Cris Peter, lettered by Clayton Cowles, and designed by Laurenn McCubbin. Make sure you follow Kelly Sue DeConnick on Bluesky and Instagram.

Cartoonist and animator Ben Wickey spent more than a decade toiling away on More Weight. The original graphic novel is an astonishing achievement, recounting the Salem witch trials through extensive research and dusting off History's cobwebs. Wickey re-contextualizes the events and the people, establishing how the horror stretches across time, touching upon literary giants like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, as well as himself and every one of his readers. We're publishing this podcast on the eve of the Eisner Awards, held at San Diego Comic-Con International. More Weight finds itself nominated for Best Graphic Novel Album - New. Wickey stands amongst some stiff competition, but as you heard in our Stampies: Best Comics of 2025 episode, we think it's not only worthy of that nomination, but we believe it to be one of the best comics of the twenty-first century. More Weight is not a textbook. It's a riveting, horrorifying, and beautifully human drama. It's staggering to witness the thought and concern Wickey put into these characters, and his artistic depiction is simply breathtaking. Today's podcast is one we've wanted to have for months. It's a thorough conversation, exploring with Wickey why the Salem witch trials are more significant today, and it will probably remain so for as long as those living dare to dismiss it as Halloween decoration. More Weight is available from Top Shelf Productions wherever rad comic books are sold. Follow Ben Wickey on Instagram.

Hang out with the like-minded and get nerdy together. Neon Ichiban 2.5 offers digital signatures, commissionable remarques, community profiles, reviews, reading lists, collections, and a whole lot more.

Today, we're bringing San Diego Comic-Con International to you, our beautiful listeners. Writer Christopher Cantwellreturns to the show for a boisterous Star Trek celebration. On September 23rd, IDW Publishing is relaunching its Star Trek line. Cantwell spearheads the main ongoing series alongside his artist collaborator, Dennis Menheere. We've been given a sneak peek, and consider their phasers set to stun cuz - We. Are. Stunned. Years after the Star Trek: Picard finale, Seven of Nine now captains the Enterprise-G. Her crew includes several legacy characters. Picard's kid. LaForge's kid. Worf's kid. Not to forget some characters familiar to those who've been reading the IDW comics and several new folks, too. This book is more forward-looking than backward-looking, as all good Trek should be. Most excitingly, Cantwell and Menheere are free to make COMICS within the Star Trek franchise. In the past, likeness has been the predominant factor when crafting brand comics. Dennis Menheere lets loose with his cartooning, embracing shapes and lines that communicate emotion and thought. They're not just assembled to please entertainment lawyers. These characters look like who they should look like, but more importantly, they feel like they should. Cantwell, Menheere, and the whole IDW crew seemingly have learned all the right lessons from Absolute Batman's success. Let's tell stories that only comics can tell. Let's engage with this medium's tools. This episode is the first of five episodes coming at ya this weekend. Be on the lookout for one new Comic Book Couples Counseling episode for every day of San Diego Comic-Con International. It's a lot, but you're gonna have fun whether you're here in California or not. As we said, Star Trek #1 arrives in comic shops on September 23rd. Final Order Cutoff (FOC) is August 17th. It's written by Christopher Cantwell, illustrated and colored by Dennis Menheere, and lettered by Jodie Troutman. Make sure you're following Christopher Cantwell on Bluesky.

The grownups killed the world. To escape destruction, Henry built The Forever Home. Inside, his family enjoys existence, protected by the poisonous elements outside. One catch: their time is compressed. For every twenty minutes they live, one hour outside passes. Nothing should ever cross the threshold. Writer Christian Ward is having a moment. He's about to launch his new artworld horror, The Patron. Event Horizon: Inferno currently rages on the stands, with the previous Event Horizon: Dark Descent premiering as a trade paperback next week at San Diego Comic-Con International. And, this fall, courtesy of Oni Press, he launches maybe his most personal and mature work yet, The Forever Home. The Forever Home is his Cocaine Bear. The premise alone should hook you, and once you crack its pages, the comic delivers on its promise. It's always a joy to have Christian Ward on the podcast. He's a theme-forward storyteller, and as such, the perfect Comic Book Couples Counseling guest. We get into it! First, we discuss why this year's San Diego Comic-Con is such a critical moment in his career. We look at the road behind him and the road ahead. We talk about The Forever Home's dystopian present, the family tragedy bubbling within, and how it confronts tribalism. The Forever Home #1 arrives in shops on September 9th. It's written by Christian Ward, illustrated by Sammi Kivelä, colored by Jason Wordie, and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.

We are the choices we make. Good guy? Bad guy? We decide that every day until our last day. On this week's podcast, we're exploring how heroism and villainism mingle in Lavender Jack, the pulp adventure from cartoonist Dan Schkade. We're considering when to swim with society and when to swim against it, and how comic book vigilante justice too often forgets its own messaging. Lavender Jack, originally published on Webtoon, is where Schkade cracked the comic strip medium, preparing him to take over Flash Gordon, where he now lives daily. We discuss why these pulp adventurers appeal so profoundly to him, and how their tales can be told with a contemporary bite. It's the perfect discussion to prepare us for next week's plunge into San Diego Comic-Con, where we'll be moderating three panels and attempting to interview all the comic book celebrity guests. We're in plug-goblin-mode during the intro, barely containing our excitement for the year's biggest comic book event. If you thought our July 2026 coverage was already intense, oh boy, strap in. Lavender Jack is written, illustrated, and lettered by Dan Schkade. It's colored by Jenn Manley Lee. Volume One is currently available from Dark Horse Comics, and you can expect Volume 2 on September 29th. Make sure you're following Dan Schkade on Instagram and Bluesky.

Witnessing adaptation is one of our great pleasures. How does one transform an audio medium into a visual one? How will the podcast World Beyond Number, from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson, expand into The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One, courtesy of comic storytellers Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb? When the chance to ponder the thought arose with some of those involved, we jumped at it. There are only days left ot support Worlds Beyond Wonder: The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One via Kickstarter. As of this writing, it's already reached over $1.8 million. The book is happening and will be published through Skybound Entertainment. Join the party in confidence. We spoke with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, and Lou Wilson about their love of comics and the delight they've discovered in watching Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb bring their story to this medium. We relish the love evident in their play, found in every Worlds Beyond Number episode. We discuss nerdom not as a monolith, but as an endless pebbly beach. This episode was a fantastic surprise, but not as big a surprise as the email we recently received that threw our lives into turmoil (which is the topic of today's introduction). Friends, we've been through it. Thank goodness for our comic book pals.

No hard sell required with this one. Operation: Iron Coffin #1 is in shops today, courtesy of IDW Publishing. It's concocted by our new favorite comic book dynamic duo, Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon (with letterer Shawn Lee). In its pages, you'll see Bram Stoker's Dracula working for the Allies during World War II. Like a bomb, he's dropped from a plane upon a secret Nazi gold train. He lands in the caboose. He proceeds to slaughter his way toward the engine. Many losers are torn limb from limb. Folks have already compared its action to John Wick, but it's more like Game of Death smashed with Snowpiercer. As Dracula works his bloody way down the train, new foes present themselves, boss-level style, and each one represents a different mindset or philosophy. Porter and Cannon excel in the excessive bodily harm, but simmering beneath the violence is a powerful reckoning with the human experience and the darkest depths our species can plunge. In the last few years, we've spent a lot of time pondering vampires, mortals, and their relationship to the soul. How fun to have Kenny Porter and Tyrell Cannon on the podcast this week to discuss bloodsuckers, human monsters, evil, and capital E Evil. This is a full-spoilers conversation about Operation: Iron Coffin #1. Be warned. However, this is kind of an unspoilable book. Nothing we say in this podcast can rob the comic of its visual might. So, listen based on your own spoiler sensitivity. But, seriously, you should just grab the comic the next time you're in the shop. Follow Kenny Porter on Instagram and Bluesky. Follow Tyrell Cannon on Instagram and Bluesky.

It's fantastic when a comic gives you a jolt. Beast of Borikén, written by Julio Anta and illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, delivers a great prod, stimulating your brain to run numerous scenarios on and off the page. It's the story of a people who've witnessed so much monstrosity at the hands of invaders. It's a story of people finding strength in their neighbors, ancestors, and legends. The first issue is out now, from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion, and we investigate it meaningfully with both storytellers. Set in Puerto Rico, the main character is Loli, an activist protesting an incoming resort, the face of which is yuppy CEO Simon Hunt, who is using every slippery trick in the book to break ground despite opposition. Loli is incensed and focused on stopping the overdevelopment of her ancestral lands, but is her fixation in part because she is avoiding processing a horrendous grief, since her father died alone in a hospital during Hurricane Maria? This week on the podcast, we speak with Julio Anta and Daniel Irizarri about Beast of Borikén, witnessing endless horror, and hope through collective action. We discuss the influence of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and the appeal of monsters. Also, what does it all have to do with Robocop 2? You'll have to make your way through the intro to understand all that. Beast of Borikén #1 is out now from Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion. It's written by Julio Anta, illustrated by Daniel Irizarri, colored by Patricio Delpeche, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni. Follow Julio Anta on Instagram and Bluesky.

No one is more surprised than we are. Frank Miller, the legendary comics maker behind Daredevil: Born Again, Ronin, Batman: Year One, Sin City, and The Dark Knight Returns, which celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year, joins us this week to discuss his career as he filtered it through his new memoir/self-help book, Push The Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and The Art of Storytelling. His latest creation floored us. Broken into sixteen lessons, Push the Wall sees Frank Miller excavate his past to understand his pursuit of storytelling. He attempts to explain his rebellious nature and a need to throw himself against opposing forces, but in the process, reveals the awesome, unbeatable power of change. He treats the reader as his mentors did, like Neal Adams and Dick Giordano. Push the Wall works not only as motivation for the struggling artist, but also for the struggling human. The aggression and fascination for violence are present, but more importantly, Push the Wall contains a great softness or vulnerability. Frank Miller is not a creator who doubles down on past mistakes; he admits regret and offers encouragement to everyone who must fail to grow. We're beyond delighted to have Frank Miller on the podcast. We discuss how “The City” was the first to change him, why The Dark Knight Returns should not be the template for all Batman stories, and whether or not Robocop 2 is an essential ingredient in his vocation. Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling arrives in bookstores everywhere on July 14th. Make sure you're following Frank Miller on Instagram and his website.

With a little help from filmmaker Ben Wheatley, our 2000 AD obsession kicks into high gear this week. The filmmaker behind such brutally banger movies as Kill List, A Field in England, High-Rise, and this year's Bob Odenkirk actioner, Normal, joins the podcast to discuss his eight-chaptered 2000 AD comic, Judge Dee, which recently wrapped in Prog 2487. Even better, Judge Dee is a sequel to an iconic Judge Dredd story from forty-two years ago, The Haunting of Sector House 9, which encouraged us to dig deep in the franchise's history. It's only fitting that Wheatley layers his 2000 AD tale with a classic, 80s-era cinematic sub-genre, the buddy-cop adventure. It's a little Lethal Weapon, but maybe even more Heart Condition, for those that can recall that complicated (ie problematic) Denzel Washington/Bob Hoskins ghost cop comedy. Ya see, PSI Judge Dee carries a secret. Wherever she travels, she's got a demonic passenger with her, Klato. However, this is not a case of a filmmaker making their way to comics for a little fun. Wheatley is a lifelong Prog reader. It's been his dream to finally scrounge around Mega-City One and add a little lore to this massive universe. Given the opportunity, he knew he wanted to springboard from The Haunting of Sector House 9, pick up where that horror left off, only decades later, and deliver his unique, grotesque, and funky perspective. This week, we're talking Judge Dredd, binary thinking, buddy cops, and surviving the dystopian present with Ben Wheatley. Judge Dee is written by Wheatley, illustrated by Simon Coleby, colored by Jack Davies, and lettered by Simon Bowland. Judge Dee chapters one through five can be found in Progs 2467 - 2471, and Judge Dee chapters six through eight can be found in Progs 2485 - 2487. You can find them all on 2000AD's website.

Live from HeroesCon 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, we're celebrating the beautiful kinship between cartoonists Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer, the industry's most notable BFFs. Their meet-cute occurred ten years ago at HeroesCon, the most comic book comic convention in America, but it solidified during an adventure to claim a “Tiger Truck.” You can take a second to unpack that last sentence, or you can just go ahead and press play on this week's podcast episode. We discuss how a passion for comics, Kyle's location, and its relation to a town where Chris collects his lumber brought these friends together. Eventually, this would lead to collaboration on books such as Rock Candy Mountain, Mars Attacks, 6 Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton, and Karate Prom. They are two singular creators with the determination to do things their own way, but somehow, through the bickering, they make magic. It was a pleasure to sit across from these two while they regaled us, and a HeroesCon audience, with tales of triumph, defeat, and consternation. One's a grump. One's chill. One's an optimist. One's a realist. Who's who might surprise you. We're delighted to platform these comic book besties. Recently, Kyle Starks wrapped up Wrestle Heist for Image Comics, and it will land in bookstores on August 4th. He also completed Where Monsters Lie: Dead End via Kickstarter and is currently writing the Vertigo Comics series, End of Life. Follow him on BlueSky, Instagram, Patreon, and his Website. Chris Schweizer is weeks away from launching his next Kickstarter campaign for Outlaw's Apprentice: Broken Blade, the first graphic novel in his Appalachian-inspired swashbuckling fantasy series. You can also read it on Webtoon and Patreon. Follow him on BlueSky, Instagram, and his Website.

The day has finally arrived: disclosure is here! Well, at least at the movie theater. This week, Tom and Laura head to the Alamo Drafthouse to give their mostly spoiler-free (until the end!) review of Steven Spielberg's massive new sci-fi blockbuster Disclosure Day. They discuss how the film tackles Edward Snowden-style whistleblowers, alien artifacts shaped like toilet paper rolls, and why a cardinal flying into Emily Blunt's room gives her psychic powers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Look what the cat dragged in. Absolute Catwoman #1 is out now wherever rad comic books are sold, and we're joined this week by co-writer Che Grayson to discuss the first issue in detail. Yes, this is another full spoilers conversation. So, if you haven't read the comic yet, press pause, go do so, and hit us up when you're done. You've previously heard Grayson's co-writer Scott Snyder say on Comic Book Couples Counseling that Absolute Catwoman is the Batman of this universe. She's got the money. She's got the butler. She's got the gadgets. And, now, with Absolute Catwoman #1, we see she's got the Cat Family. How does that actually work, though? We get into it with Che Grayson. But first, we must discuss Comic-Con season. It's here. HeroesCon is this weekend. Not only can you attend and meet Che Grayson and Scott Snyder (as well as a whole bunch of other Absolute creators), you can also attend our Live Podcast Recording with Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer. We'll be discussing their unique creative friendship as well as their collaborations (Mars Attacks, The Six Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton). If you're attending HeroesCon, make sure you're in Room 207CD at 3:30 PM on Friday, June 12th. If you can't attend, don't worry, that event will arrive in your podcast feeds next Wednesday. You may have heard that Absolute Catwoman #1 also serves as a springboard for the Absolute Cassandra Cain one-shot, also written by Che Grayson with art by Matias Bergara. Yup, keep your ears peeled to this week's podcast, we talk all about Cain and how she fits into Selina's Cat Family. Absolute Catwoman #1 is in shops as of today. It's written by Che Grayson and Scott Snyder, illustrated by Bengal, colored by Giovanna Niro, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni. Follow Che Grayson on Instagram and their Website.

Today's episode starts with one of the biggest cliffhangers in recent Rizzuto Show history: Riz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy? Is he about to start "microdosing life support" every night? Or will doctors somehow discover an entirely new category of terrible sleep? The crew weighs in with equal parts concern, medical expertise they definitely don't have, and relentless roasting.Things somehow spiral into a discussion about waking up twenty times a night, cortisol overload, testosterone levels, hormone therapy, NAD shots, and the possibility that everyone on the show is slowly becoming a science experiment. Basically, if you've ever hit your 40s and wondered what happened, this conversation is for you.Then it's on to movie theater controversy as Alamo Drafthouse sparks outrage by replacing their old-school paper ordering system with QR code phone ordering. The crew debates whether phones belong anywhere near a movie screen, whether glowing screens ruin the experience, and if Elijah Wood might be the most passionate movie theater defender on Earth.Meanwhile, Riz and his wife are considering a rare date night at the movies, leading to a surprisingly intense discussion about movie choices, theater etiquette, and whether anyone should ever be playing a game on their phone during a film.In Crap On Celebrities, the gang dives into music festival drama as performers start dropping out of the America 250 celebration while Vanilla Ice somehow remains standing. There's also talk about Riot Fest's loaded lineup, Tom Morello's latest festival announcement, Violet Grohl's debut album, Willie Nelson making chart history, and upcoming movies that might actually be worth leaving the house for.The entertainment world doesn't escape unscathed either. The crew discusses Brad Pitt family drama, Nicolas Cage changing his name to avoid riding the Coppola family coattails, Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally destroy an entire generation again, and the strange reality that kids today would rather stare at a tablet than play with actual toys.Then comes one of the day's biggest debates: the Mount Rushmore of arena rock. Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.Add in celebrity birthdays, bizarre movie facts, festival announcements, old concert memories, and enough sarcasm to power a small city, and you've got another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous conversations, pop culture commentary, music news, and the kind of friendship that only comes from years of roasting each other on the radio, this episode delivers.The Rizzuto Show remains the daily comedy show where sleep studies become comedy material, movie theater policies become national debates, and arena rock rankings become blood feuds.Thanks for making us part of your daily comedy show routine.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz is having an existential crisis after discovering his son's feet are officially bigger than his. The gang dives headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of watching kids grow up, the weird realization that childhood doesn't last forever, and why parents secretly measure their self-worth against shoe sizes.A family in California is desperately searching for answers after a delivery driver allegedly walked off with their cat. Yes, their actual cat. Not a package. Not a box. The cat. The crew debates whether the world's chillest feline was simply too trusting and whether every pet owner should now be suspicious of compliments from delivery drivers.Then there's the woman who somehow handed over her debit card and nearly ten thousand dollars in cash after falling for an unbelievable rideshare scam. The gang attempts to understand how these scams work while also wondering how many red flags a person can ignore before reality taps them on the shoulder.Meanwhile, an airline passenger claims a cup of coffee caused life-changing injuries in the absolute worst place imaginable. What follows is an in-depth discussion on airplane coffee, turbulence, questionable beverage decisions, and why nobody wants to gamble with hot liquids at 35,000 feet.The conversation takes another turn when Rizz discovers a tick between his toes and immediately starts worrying about Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Because apparently adulthood is just a series of increasingly specific fears.As if that wasn't enough, the crew uncovers one of the strangest side hustles on the internet: cosplay models selling "foot juice" to convention attendees. Yes, exactly what it sounds like. No, nobody is proud of humanity after hearing this story.Rizz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy?

One minute we're talking about gift registries. The next minute we're researching blow-up dolls, discussing payment plans, comparing shipping options, and wondering whether a fully wrapped mystery package would instantly become the most talked-about item at the reception.Because apparently that's where our brains go.Would the bride find it funny? Would the groom appreciate the joke? Would security escort us from the venue? These are the important questions tackled by your favorite collection of professional broadcasters pretending to be functioning adults.Then things somehow become even more competitive with a packed edition of The Riz Quiz.Listeners step up to test their knowledge against the clock in a rapid-fire battle featuring geography, sports, movies, history, fast food, random facts, and several questions that instantly made people question everything they thought they knew. There were strong performances, surprise eliminations, and at least one answer that will live in infamy among breakfast cereal enthusiasts.We also discover that some questions are a lot easier when you're listening from your car than when you're the one actually under pressure. As always, confidence levels ranged from "I've got this" to "Why did I call in?" in record time.The result is exactly the kind of chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show: random conversations, questionable logic, competitive trivia, and a group of friends somehow turning ordinary topics into complete nonsense.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Amazon Driver Caught on Camera Taking Family's Cat During a DeliveryWoman loses nearly $10K after giving envelope of money to Uber driver in Lebanon CountyMan Says He Suffered 'Excruciating Pain' and Scarring After 'Boiling' Coffee Spilled on His Lap During FlightCosplay stars caught hawking truly revolting products at California anime festival — and they sold outShrey Parikh bounces back, battles nerves and dominates spell-off to win the National Spelling BeeMan tries to tear down Butler County home with excavator after argumentCrimeMan Back In Trouble Over Crack PunDrunk driver caught with 'homemade cannon' in VernonFlorida Man Allegedly Smashed Store Window With Chainsaw to Steal Pokémon Cards Worth $12,000Man Turns Himself in for Allegedly Vandalizing Restaurant Deck and Then Taking a Nap After Surveillance Photo Goes ViralPennsylvania man cuts pickleball nets at parks after injury ruined his summerBaked dirt accidentally served at Maine high school supperWearing only a watch, a headlamp and flip-flops isn't a great disguise when trashing a neighbor's motion lightTrespasser rescued after getting stuck in smoking chimney, arrested by Everett policeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sup chomos! This week on Your Mamas Place, Tina is out doing some broad shit, so is Tom Segura is joined by comedian Joe DeRosa for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with ranking comedy's biggest peer pressure artists, from Rogan's blunt "don't be a bitch" to Chappelle's devastating silent look that you simply cannot say no to. They flip it around and dig into the opposite problem: friends who commit to a full night out and then bail halfway through dinner (you know who you are, Chrissy). Joe also opens up about the very real injustice of being perpetually single in a world that gives parents an automatic excuse for everything, then shares the best piece of comedy advice he ever received, straight from Patton Oswalt, about why every great joke needs a "moment of discovery." The guys get candid about their wildly different relationships with alcohol, including a truly unhinged Burt Kreischer story from Tallahassee. Then it's clip time featuring a cool collector with an encyclopedic knowledge of cheap plastic lawn chairs, a fully-committed DIY tooth extraction, a pizza shop owner fighting invisible gender discrimination, and a white woman reading some hilarious Instagram insults about her dumb sun outfit.

Ron Taylor, the winner of Netflix's Funny AF, sits down with Tom to break it all down, from the electric energy of the finale to the surprising strategy that accidentally worked in his favor. Ron grew up in Detroit, stumbled onto a stage at 18 with zero material, and spent 16 years grinding through black rooms, mainstream clubs, and bar shows before getting his shot. He and Tom go deep on what separates a real comedy special from just a collection of jokes, why a tight 60 minutes will always beat a self-indulgent 90, and how Ron's questionable time management might have actually won him the whole thing. They also get into the nuances of the roast comedy debate, a game of "Tom or Black?", check out some horrible or hilarious clips, and Ron's honest take on what the Mothership crowd feels like compared to the Comedy Store.

The gang kicks things off with chaos before the coffee even hits — Lern forgets her headphones, Rafe and King Scott recap their suspiciously romantic Alamo Drafthouse “date night,” and somehow a horror movie promo turns into a discussion about cursed wish sticks and meat sandwiches. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.Then the show spirals beautifully into creepy Craigslist tornado bunker ads, haunted South City basements, mannequin roommates named Cheryl, and why every adult still turns into a terrified 9-year-old at the dentist. Add in parallel parking panic, scary medical test notifications, and Apple Store rage, and you've got another emotionally stable episode of the Rizzuto Show comedy podcast.The crew gets hyped for Point Fest, shouts out local band Trevor May & The Nomads, and debates whether they're actually cooler now than they were in high school — which somehow leads to discussions about danglers, acne glow-ups, mysterious coolness rankings, and midlife-crisis trucks. Just a completely reasonable funny podcast conversation.Plus: Rafe gets weirdly philosophical about popularity, Lern overshares in ways no one requested, and the gang proves once again that aging gracefully is for quitters. Then it's straight into celebrity gossip, Tool Sphere rumors, Point Fest excitement, and enough sarcastic life advice to accidentally become a self-help seminar. Gas thieves are apparently leveling up from siphoning to full-on drilling holes in gas tanks, and the gang reacts exactly how you'd expect: with panic, truck jokes, and debates about whether giant lifted trucks are compensation for “something else.” Welcome to your favorite daily comedy podcast.Then the show dives into “Majority Rules,” where listeners attempt to match answers with the crew while Hurricane Chris accidentally invents a brand-new version of The Eagles featuring David Lee Roth. Throw in Game of Thrones confusion, celebrity guessing disasters, Point Fest ticket giveaways, and Rafe barely holding the game together, and you've got another masterpiece of organized nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.

With social media splintering and websites chasing clicks, navigating the comic book industry has never been more challenging. Tiffany Babb and The Comics Staple are here to help, hopefully.

Her latest project is a monthly black-and-white zine designed to be a tool for readers entering their local comic shop.

This week, Dawson and Smith learn what hookworms are and reevaluate how they care for their pets simultaneously.

Tune in to see what the fuss is about and throw them a like or two!  

Before Christian Ward joins us for a full-spoilers conversation about Event Horizon: Inferno, we get lost in a lengthy discussion about Stephen King's The Stand. We promise, however, that both stories tie nicely together and circle the vast concerns many of us are feeling in 2026. Event Horizon #1 is now available in comic book shops everywhere, thanks to IDW Publishing, and this week's podcast is a full-spoilers conversation all about it, digging deep into modern anxieties while also celebrating kick-ass monsters and scary horror movie violence. As the solicits say for this surprise comic book sequel, Event Horizon: Inferno is indeed Aliens meets Dante's Inferno. Get ready now. Set 200 years after the film and its comic book prequel, Event Horizon: Dark Descent, Event Horizon: Inferno introduces a new crew of desperate humans and demonic antagonists. Christian Ward and artist Rob Carey (plus, colorist Xenon Honchar and letterer Alex Ray) profoundly expand the Event Horizon universe, taking it to realms barely hinted at in the original nineties scare fest. As Ward mentions, he's giving Event Horizon the same treatment that Dark Horse Comics gave the Aliens and Predator franchises back in the nineties. If you remember those comics, damn, you're probably pretty darn excited at the notion. This week, we get ponderous about hell, heaven, and their servants. We dig into how this series demands expansion and the freedom in which the publisher and studio gave Ward and his collaborators. We consider how Event Horizon: Inferno reflects the world outside our window and what we can do to alleviate real-life dread. Buckle up, friends. We're all on this ship together. Again, Event Horizon #1 is out now from IDW Publishing. It's written by Christian Ward, illustrated by Rob Carey, colored by Xenon Honchar, and lettered by Alex Ray.

It's a topic we discuss a lot. When you love comics, you eventually want to make them. Curt Pires heard Franklin Jonas professing his love for the medium on a podcast. Immediately, he recognized a kindred spirit. Pires invited Jonas to play. The result is the new Image Comics series Fireborn, spinning out of Pires' massive comic book playground, Lost Fantasy. Maybe you've already read the logline: Fireborn is Invincible meets How to Train Your Dragon meets Absolute Batman. Whoa, okay. That's a lot, but what does that actually mean? On this week's podcast, we get into it with Franklin Jonas and Curt Pires. We break down those other stories and consider what they owe to Spider-Man and his Amazing Fantasy #15 debut. Where do you begin when creating an F'd up Peter Parker? And did we mention the hot takes? Franklin Jonas has them! We give the musician the space to profess his passion for comics, champion his all-time favorite Daredevil run, and explain why not enough of you are reading the current JSA monthly written by Jeff Lemire. In Fireborn, Aaron Hillburg is a rich kid who runs face-first into Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. He answers the call to action, but when will he reject it? With great power there must also come great responsibility. One issue in, we got part one of that statement. Is part two coming? Let's geek out about what comics can do that no TV pitch can ever contain. Fireborn #1 is out now from Image Comics. It's written by Curt Pires and Franklin Jonas, illustrated by Patrick Mulholland, colored by Mark Dale, and lettered by Micah Myers.

Comics don't just happen. Artists will them from nothing. As you'll hear from Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill in this week's podcast, comics arrive at your local comic book shop through tremendous persistence and imagination. The next time you cross your shop's threshold, possibly to grab a copy of Barajas and Merrill's Death to Pachuco, out now in trade paperback from Image Comics, take a moment to thank the makers. Each book on the rack is a tiny miracle. In Death to Pachuco, Barajas and Merrill tap into history, detailing the 1943 Sleepy Lagoon Murder Trial and the Zoot Suit Riots. It's a Chicano noir, heavily inspired by classic Hollywood tales, but springing from a perspective frequently silenced or ignored. Their private eye, Ricardo “Ricky” Tellez, fancies himself a Sherlock Holmes type, complete with a nearly debilitating drug addiction. He's caught in the racial tensions boiling over during wartime Los Angeles, hunting for a killer, while navigating a femme fatale. This week on the podcast, we chat with Barajas and Merrill about balancing fact and fiction, style and reality, and why humanity frequently allows fear steer its actions. We discuss the magnificent amount of will and persistence it took to materialize Death to Pachuco and how it feels to see it collected in trade paperback, finally. Death to Pachuco is written and lettered by Henry Barajas, illustrated by Rachel Merrill, and colored by Lee Loughridge. The book featured several variant covers from folks like Sarah Gordon (see episode art), Tula Lotay, Ben Passmore, David Lapham, and others.

Here's an episode we've wanted to have for a while. Zoe Tunnell joins the podcast this week to discuss her new IDW Crime series Seven Wives and examine how easy it is to fall into cult-like behavior. As massive fans of (fictional) crime, we're excited for Zoe Tunnell and her comic book collaborators to launch the new IDW Crime imprint with a locked-room mystery. It gives us an excuse to rattle on about Agatha Christie, Knives Out, and our devilish, guilty pleasure, True Crime. Seven Wives' murderous opening features the Dunn family patriarch receiving forty-nine stab wounds at the altar of his Fundamentalist temple. The suspects, the titular wives, and maybe an offspring or two. Detectives Aguilar and Halwell get to work interrogating everyone on the compound, granting Seven Wives a killer structure, and a thrilling excuse for Zoe Tunnell to beef up her three-issue mini-series with a meaty, messy character study. We've followed Zoe Tunnell for years, enjoying her comics criticism and her plunge into comic-making. We discuss how one skill prepared her for the other, her passion for crime stories and locked-room mysteries in particular, and the empathy required to understand cult stories. While we couldn't have imagined the subjects we'd explore, we always knew Zoe Tunnell would find her way onto the show. Seven Wives is written by Zoe Tunnell, illustrated by V. Gagnon and Maria Keane, and colored by Antonio Del Hoyo. IDW Publishing drops the comic in shops on May 20th. FOC (Final Order Cutoff) is Monday, April 13th.

Union workers at Alamo Drafthouse in Sloan's Lake are walking out today over frustrations with the company's move to a QR code-based food ordering system, saying it overcomplicates interactions with customers. Contributor Michelle Jackson joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to discuss what it means for a theater chain that built a brand on being aggressively anti-phone. Plus they discuss the latest news in the saga of disgraced Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, what this joke map of RTD's light rail stops says about how we view Denver, and of course, our wins and fails of the week.  Bree talked about the new Gems & Minerals Hall coming to the Museum of Nature and Science, the ongoing JBS strike, and Denver City Council's vote for a new contract with Axon. Paul quoted numbers from this Westword report on the local Alamo unions and discussed this statement from the company about the QR ordering change; he also talked about Copper Kettle Brewing's impending closure and Jersey Mike's downhill slide. Michelle mentioned Mo'Betta Greens.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

Okay, it's time to press pause on your life and press play on this week's episode. Klaus Janson is an icon. He's worked in comics for over fifty years, radically shaping characters like Daredevil and Batman, while working alongside other comic book greats such as Frank Miller, Dick Giordano, Gene Colan, Dennis O'Neil, Grant Morrison, Bill Sienkiewicz, Brian Michael Bendis, and many, many more. He's worked within the medium from multiple angles as penciler, inker, colorist, writer, and teacher. By thriving through comics, he's also collected a million stories to tell. We got a few out of him today. We're honored to have Klaus Janson join us for our 350th episode, especially during a time that sees his first North American art exhibit on display at the Philippe Labaune Gallery in New York City. You have until April 11th to witness more than one hundred Klaus Janson pieces, reflecting a lifetime of dedication to our favorite art form. If you're looking to extend the 40th anniversary celebrations of The Dark Knight Returns, a book that continues to shape the entire industry and a few others as well, then you owe yourself a trip. Klaus Janson takes us all the way back to his time before comics, and how two unique jobs prepared him for his life at the drawing board. We discuss his collaboration with Frank Miller on Daredevil and The Dark Knight Returns, a few of the projects he's proud of that don't necessarily get the most attention, and how comics have shaped him as a person. Also, we spend this episode's introduction discussing our recent excursion to WonderCon in Anaheim, California. With multiple conventions fighting for your attention this weekend, we consider what WonderCon offers that other gatherings don't, as well as some of the comic book news revealed across multiple panels.
