Host Ed Moore continues his look at Pacific Comics, this time discussing Captain Victory and His Galactic Rangers issue 3 cover dated November 1981.
This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée shake forearms with Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers no. 12! In the 1980s, Jack Kirby snuck one past the copyright gestapo with Captain Victory, a stealth continuation of his legendary Fourth World comics in the guise a new IP. Free and clear from any legal action, Kirby and the good captain traverse the stars, making friends with computers and ruminating on the meaning of valor! It's a nostalgic trip back to the days when the phrase "toxic masculinity" was mostly referring to all of the radiation your space sled was constantly pumping out.

In this episode, Wits' End host Shah Emami reunites with Creator Talks Podcast host Christopher Calloway and cartoonist/musician Chris Wisnia to talk about Jack Kirby's 1980s cosmic epic—Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers.

Hey everybody! I invited a new guest to the show for a special occasion. August has been deemed #JackKirbyMonth (by the powers that be on Twitter), and I couldn't let it slip away without talking some Kirby on the podcast (technically this episode won't drop until September 3rd, but just use your imagination). Joining me this time, is a Kirby enthusiast that loves the King's crazier, later work (like the book we're covering today) Charlton Hero! CH has been a good friend of mine on the Twitters for a while now, and also through the group effort known as SuperBlog Team-Up (a group of friends that dedicate specific subjects to podcast/blog about and support each other through thick and thin---look for the hashtag on Twitter)! We discuss the issue, our love of Kirby, and more! Stay tuned after the conversation, as I inserted a short clip of Jack Kirby talking comics (intro by Harlan Ellison)! As usual, any feedback can be left at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licious (and please check out my blog MagazinesandMonsters.com for more comic book fun)! Thanks for tuning in! And definitely check out CH's blog The Superhero Satellite!

Dave Baker is a writer living in Los Angels and co-creator of Action Hospital, F*ck Off Squad and contributed one of the stories contained in Star Trek: Waypoint (IDW). Dave is a big fan of the Star Trek franchise and is the writer of the forthcoming mini-series in November Star Trek Voyager: Seven's Reckoning (IDW). This is the first Star Trek Voyager series in nearly 10 years and set within Voyager continuity. Dave's co-collaborator is artist Angel Hernandez (Star Trek: Picard Countdown and Star Trek /Green Lantern). Dave discusses the critical role of his co-collaborators on the titles he writes and his issue with some journalists and publishers placing the all emphasis on the writer of a title. We discuss some of Dave's favorite comics, including Jack Kirby's Captain Victory. Learn why of all Kirby's creations, Jack's later work from the mid-80 and early 90s are Dave's favorite. Dave also explains his theory why bad movies are so popular, and it not because people particularly like bad movies. When we get into the mini-series Seven's Reckoning, Dave tells us why Seven of Nine was first introduced into the Voyager television series, what her place is in his comic mini-series and the new alien race Dave created for it. When I Kick Back With The Creator, Dave reveals which Star Trek movie was his favorite growing up, and it wasn't The Wrath of Khan! What was it about his pick that had him so obsessed with it?

Tom Scioli, the cartoonist who lives and bleeds creativity, returns to Wits’ End to talk all things comics with Shah. Tom hasn’t had a break in two+ years. During that time, he’s been conjuring passionate project after project. Some of his recent projects include: Transformers vs. GI Joe, Go-Bots, Fantastic Four: Grand Design and his upcoming Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics. The chat starts off as Shah and Tom re-evaluate Frank Miller’s controversial Dark Knight Strikes Again (the sequel to the highly respected The Dark Knight Returns). DKSA does have merits, despite its controversy. It’s Frank Miller embracing the Silver Age in his Dark Knight universe! In a nonsensical time, a nonsensical politically charged comic like DKSA puts a lot in perspective. Tom is arguably the biggest Kirby fan on the planet and there’s no one better suited to tell The King’s story than him. Shah and Tom talk about the Kirby book, Kirby’s Captain Victory, Kirby inkers and how Kirby’s story has a major influence on comics. Anyway! Shah and Tom talk Frank Miller comics, DC in the Silver Age, Jack Kirby inker’s (especially Vince Colletta), Tom’s Kirby book and other projects, Jack Kirby in movies, SUPERPOWERS, the fate of comic shops and a lot more.

On this episode of The Comics Alternative, Andy and Derek discuss three new titles. They begin by revisiting Jeff Lemire's Trillium, the first few issues of which they reviewed on their Vertigo Publisher Spotlight show back in November. Now, the miniseries is collected in a single volume, and the guys compare the individual issues to the new trade edition. One of the first differences they note is the page arrangements of the trade. Whereas in many issues of the original miniseries Lemire visually set the storylines of Nika and William to read in opposite directions — where you had to turn the comic book upside down to read one of the narratives – in the trade he more or less places everything on the same reading plane. While Derek is okay with some of this editorial tampering, Andy feels that the difference undermines much of the emotional pacing of the story. But both agree that this new edition lessens Lemire's emphasis on the materiality of the book, or the comic as object that has to be handled and manipulated. And while the Two Guys feel that this isn't one of Lemire's strongest narratives, it's nonetheless a solid, well-written one. Next, Derek and Andy discuss two new #1 issues from Dynamite Entertainment. Joe Casey and Nathan Fox's Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers is a visually wild ride through the land of Jack Kirbydom, and this first issue plunges you directly into the story without much warning or much context. It's sink or swim with this first installment, but Casey arranges the gaps and the reveals in such a way that while you may not know what's going on, you're intrigued enough to want to read on into the next issue. Much of the pleasure of reading this comic comes from Fox's art, perfectly suited to retelling a Kirby property, punctuated by short contributions from Jim Rugg and Ulises Farinas. Equally compelling — if not more so — is Peter Milligan and Piotr Kowalski's Terminal Hero. In this brand new story, Milligan presents us with a protagonist who has inoperable brain cancer, and the mysterious and unorthodox treatment he undergoes allows him to tap into powers he never knew he had…and cannot completely control. In this first issue there are double-dealing friends, heads in flames, women whose clothing disintegrates, and potentially nefarious government agents. What more could you ask for in a comic book?
Today, Graeme McMillan and Jeff get intergalactic planetary as we discuss Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers by Joe Casey, Nathan Fox and Jim Rugg, the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy, Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem, plus Terminal Hero, The Devilers, Nightworld, The Spirit Archives by Will Eisner, Grayson #2, and much, much more.
