TJ Disavowed - Fantom (Wraith Origin) Backup story from 31 - 33 Mark, Tim and Jay continue their look at the Disavowed era with the Wraith backups story - "Fantom" part 1-3 from 31,32,33. Attached is the column in the back of the book where Devils Due Creators are asked what damage they inflicted on their GI Joe toys. Questions asked: - How long can the Talking Joe team possibly talk about a story that is just 12 pages long? - What relevance could the inking style of Danny Miki possibly have to the issue at hand? - How did we mutilate our own GI Joe toys when we we young? - And what does the team think of this new crazy cat on the GI Joe scene, Wriath? Story: Brandon Jerwa, Art: Talent Caldwell, Inks: Jason Gorder, Colors: Christina Strain Publicity Blurb from 2004: Devil's Due Publishing has chosen Aspen Studios to design WRAITH, a new major villain for the G.I.Joe comic book series. The studio will create a 3 part BACK UP story starting with G.I.Joe #31 . Devil's Due has worked with Aspen in the past (on covers for G.I.Joe #22 and the COBRA REBORN incentive cover) and is happy to expand the relationship between the two publishers. Talent Caldwell will be providing the designs for the character, as well as art for the back up stories and two covers. Michael Turner will be illustrating the cover for the finale, with issue #33. Brandon Jerwa, who will provide the script for the story (entitled FANTOM), created WRAITH. Devil's Due President Josh Blaylock is certain that the innovative new character will excite fans, while simultaneously acquiring new readers. “Brandon pitched this character to us over a year ago, and we've just been waiting for the right time. By bringing the Aspen guys on board, we're sure to have a hit on our hands, and create a character that will be around for years to come. It's gonna rock.” When asked about working with Devil's Due and helping to design Wraith, the new G.I. Joe character, Talent Caldwell said, "I'm really excited to be working on this project. I've always been a huge Joe fan, and being asked to design a new major character like this is really flattering. I've been wanting to do some work on G.I. Joe for a while, and this special story wound up being the perfect fit. It's been a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoys what we have in store for them!" Talent Caldwell Talent Caldwell went to a Charlotte, NC comic con in 1997 and showed off his artwork for the first time. He was told to become more like the established artist like Michael Turner and Marc Silvestri. He took the words to heart. He moved from his hometown of Clarksville, TN to move to L.A. to try to get into his passion of film. Talent only did music videos and his first was in 1999, Sevendust “Denial” and then later Destiny's Child “Bug-a-boo”. Talent realized he didn't enjoy dancing and went back to drawing. At a comic con Talent was discovered by Michael Turner and offered a chance to show his stuff to Marc Silvestri. On January 12, 2000, Talent officially started working as a professional artist. He did background work on Fathom. Only to move onto the creation of the miniseries Fathom: Killian's Tide. Later Talent left Top Cow to join Michael Turner forming Aspen Comics. After a lawsuit between Top Cow and Aspen comics, Talent's Fathom: Dawn of War miniseries was published. He co-wrote and drew the artwork for it to be published in 2004. After the release of the miniseries, he broke away from Aspen comics to do freelance work. He has done artwork for Marvel and DC comics. Talent worked on Wildstorm and Gen 13 comics during his freelance career.

(RIGHT CLICK THE IMAGE TO SAVE THIS EPISODE TO YOUR COMPUTER) John and Paul have been given a new Critical Assignment.  With the success of The Six Million Dollar Man Season 6 by Dynamite Comics, it stood to reason that a The Bionic Woman Season 4 comic would follow.  But as most bionic fans know, The Bionic Woman does not usually feature the same kind of story telling as her male counterpart.  Dynamite's previous attempt at a Bionic Woman comic was less than stellar.  Is it possible they can get it right by using the original source material?  Writer Brandon Jerwa has been tapped for the assignment and he sits down with John and Paul to discuss what he feels it will take to make The Bionic Woman a successful comic for both the fans of the series and the general comic book reader.   00:00 - Show introduction 03:00 - Bionic Renaissance 04:10 - Brandon Introduction 08:00 - "Where you a fan of Six Million Dollar Man & Bionic Woman?" 12:45 - Viewing the Differences Between the Two Bionic Shows and Characters 19:55 - Announcing The Six Million Dollar Man Season 6 21:30 - Where Dynamite's First Bionic Woman Went Wrong 23:25 - Picking Up Where "On the Run" Left Off 25:55 - An "All Ages" Comic 29:00 - Dialogue That Sums Up Jaime Sommers 31:25 - How Brandon Got the Gig 35:20 - Brandon Will Come Back If We're Not Satisfied 35:55 - Who From the Series Will We See? 37:10 - "Will We See the Coach House?" 38:35 - "Where Does the Story Take Place in Relation to Six Million Dollar Man Season 6?" 40:10 - Likenesses of the Characters 44:45 - Brandon's Documentary and the Prism Award 53:45 - Brandon on the Web 55:20 - Sign Off   Comment on this episode here or by writing abionicpodcast@gmail.com   Brandon's Links   Facebook Twitter   BJ Shea's Geek Nation Podcast Brandon Jerwa is a writer, musician, and recently, a documentarian. He's been writing comics for over 10 years - and is no stranger to licensed tie-in storytelling. In 2003 he broke into the industry - literally - as a fan, submitting a GI JOE script to DEVILS DUE COMICS who was publishing the title at the time. They liked it, hired him to write the story for A G.I. Joe anthology and then gave him the main book to write a few months later. He even had a GI JOE action figure made in his likeness!   In 2006 Brandon went to work for Dynamite Comics, doing a stint on their HIGHLANDER tie-in before enjoying a very popular run on their BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA tie-in 2007.   Since then he's written for more high-profile comics publishers like IMAGE COMICS, VERTIGO and DC Comics.   In 2011 Brandon ventured into documentary filmmaking with an ambitious peak into the world of comic books and telling the stories of the people who make them. We'll talk more about that later on.   In 2012 Brandon’s work on the Graphic Novel SHOOTERS about a Post-9-11 IRAQI War veteran WON a PRISM AWARD recognizing the comic’s accurate depiction of mental illness.   Brandon is no stranger to podcasting, you can hear him DAILY on BJ SHEA'S GEEK NATION PODCAST which covers all things geeky in NEWS, TV, MOVIES, COMICS.   On JUNE 15th of 2014, based on the success of their SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN SEASON SIX title (by James Kuhoric), Dynamite revealed to BLEEDING COOL.com that they would be releasing a BIONIC WOMAN SEASON FOUR title in SEPTEMBER. Written by Brandon Jerwa, art by David T. Cabrera and a cover for issue one by Sean Chen along with a photo cover of series star Lindsay Wagner. We'll get to Chen's cover in a moment, too.   In that brief news item, Brandon is quoted saying, “If you’ve never seen the show, or haven’t read James Kuhoric’s Six Million Dollar Man comic, you’re still totally fine, longtime fans won’t be left out in the cold, though. The Bionic Woman: Season Four is a continuation of the classic TV series, so I’m definitely treating it as such in terms of continuity and thematic carry-through.”

William and Dane welcome back friends of the show Brandon Jerwa and Eric Trautmann to talk about their new creator-owned series at Monkeybrain: Frost.

“The truth is this: You fight because war is who you are.” Paul talks to Eric Trautmann, Brandon Jerwa and Steve Lieber about the intensely personal war story, Shooters. When a harrowing friendly fire incident sends American soldier Terry Glass home from Iraq with a medal he never wanted, his transition to civilian life isn't as smooth as anyone had hoped. Can he find solace with his wife and young daughter, or is Terry forever clouded by the fog of war. It's a brutal, candid portrait of a modern warrior you definitely won't want to miss. Shooters Written by Eric Trautmann and Brandon Jerwa Art by Steve Lieber $22.99/144 pages/Black and White/Hardcover Vertigo Comics Music: “Out of the Cold” Amos Lee Read Paul's 5-star review of Shooters.
