Living Hell introduces readers to Jerome Jameel—a husband, father, and demon who has escaped Hell to start a new life on Earth. What inspired you to create a protagonist with such a complex duality?​2. The series blends elements of humor, heart, and darkness, drawing comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Good Omens. How did you approach balancing these tones within the narrative?​3. As both the writer and artist for Living Hell, how did your creative process evolve when developing the visual style to complement the story's supernatural themes?​4. The concept of Hell as a prison where demons have lived in exile is intriguing. Can you elaborate on your interpretation of Hell and how it influences the characters' motivations?​5. Jerome's encounter with a bounty hunter from Hell sets the plot in motion. Without giving too much away, what can readers expect from this confrontation and its impact on Jerome's new life?​6. Living Hell is your creator-owned debut. What challenges and rewards have you experienced in bringing your own vision to life through this series?​7. The series is described as a four-issue miniseries. How did you structure the storyline to ensure a satisfying arc within this format?​8. (Fun/Silly Question!) If you were a demon escaping Hell to live incognito on Earth, what profession would you choose to blend in, and why?​

Charles Soule (author of the Star Wars: The High Republic series as well as some of the best Star Wars comic books) joins the show to talk all about one of the most controversial and heavily debated Steven Spielberg films: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We all know co-host Josh Robert Thompson goes to bat for this one, but does Soule? We dive into the George Lucas of it all, a topic that Soule has a lot of insight into considering how closely he has studied Lucas's output while he plays in that massive Star Wars sandbox. There's a healthy range of opinion on this title and you're going to get some unfiltered opinions that range from "are you crazy?" to "don't be so mean" as three self-identified Indiana Jones nerds break down the fourth installment (and final Spielberg-directed entry) of this iconic series.

Clone Wars Conversations continues with the Legacy Multimedia Project, where content was released from unused Clone Wars episodes following the show's cancellation in 2014, and in this episode Dave, Maff & Mike delve into the 4-issue comic series Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir! In detail, this comic centres around Darth Maul after his capture by Palpatine/Sidious in the fifth season of the Clone Wars following his Mandalore-takeover, noting his torture, escape and the eventual plot that unfolds around Dooku and Mother Talzin, set before the events of Season 7. Our trio discuss each issue in-depth, provide additional context & lore, and talk about how much they enjoyed the comics and if they're necessary for the overall story of The Clone Wars. Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir was written by Jeremy Barlow with penciller Juan Frigeri, inker Mauro Vargas and colour artist Wes Dzioba, and was published by Dark Horse in 2014 and re-published by Marvel in 2017. The next 2 releases will continue the Clone Wars Legacy project, with the four unfinished episodes of the Utapau Crystal Crisis next (watch them here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdaXc2wzwv4&t=100s) and finishing with the Dark Disciple novel featuring Quinlan Vos & Asajj Ventress! Once completed, the trio will move onto the final (seventh) season of The Clone Wars!

Clone Wars Conversations continues with the Legacy Multimedia Project, where content was released from unused Clone Wars episodes following the show's cancellation in 2014, and in this episode Dave, Maff & Mike delve into the 4-issue comic series Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir! In detail, this comic centres around Darth Maul after his capture by Palpatine/Sidious in the fifth season of the Clone Wars following his Mandalore-takeover, noting his torture, escape and the eventual plot that unfolds around Dooku and Mother Talzin, set before the events of Season 7. Our trio discuss each issue in-depth, provide additional context & lore, and talk about how much they enjoyed the comics and if they're necessary for the overall story of The Clone Wars.Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir was written by Jeremy Barlow with penciller Juan Frigeri, inker Mauro Vargas and colour artist Wes Dzioba, and was published by Dark Horse in 2014 and re-published by Marvel in 2017.The next 2 releases will continue the Clone Wars Legacy project, with the four unfinished episodes of the Utapau Crystal Crisis next (watch them here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdaXc2wzwv4&t=100s) and finishing with the Dark Disciple novel featuring Quinlan Vos & Asajj Ventress!

Were you looking at any historical moments for inspiration to kick off his rule?Visual Storytelling: R.B. Silva's art is a standout feature of the series, and likely he stuns consistently as I saw with issue #1, but do you have any Silva high water mark moments in any specific issues?Silly Question: If Doctor Doom were to design a reality TV show in his new United Latveria, what would it be called, and who would be its target audience?

GCC welcomes Douglas Vincent; the third member of the Douglas Vincent DID System to speak with Mike, but this time we're taking a break from speaking in-depth about DID and are just nerding out about Star Wars, in two parts! This week, in part 1, Doug & Mike start by speaking about Douglas' first experience with Star Wars and recalling memories of his childhood, including watching half a recording of Empire Strikes Back on VHS! The conversation then steadily leads into the modern era, as Doug explains his experiences with the Prequel Trilogy, plus the duo discuss “The Dark Years” of Star Wars (when barely anything was being released), followed by the steady release of books and comics following the Heir To The Empire trilogy. In part 2 (out next week, or available now on Patreon) Doug gives his thoughts on the Sequels. Following this, they talk about Canon and Legends comics & books, including Aphra and the many crossover events in the 2020 main Star Wars run. Towards the end, Doug talks about lessons within Skeleton Crew (no spoilers) and addresses people's thoughts about characters some believe have DID traits. For an in-depth introduction to Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder), listen to episode 235 of GCC, from June 2024 where Mike spoke with Leyna: https://pod.fo/e/2430ed   And in episode 248, Mike speaks with Louise who continues the DID discussion and shows how the MBTI personality test helped the alters of their system: https://pod.fo/e/2806aa DID Resources: https://did-research.org - https://did-research.org/did/history/index.html - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4959824 Find Douglas, Leyna & Louise on X: @dougvincent1138 and subscribe to their Substack here: https://substack.com/@dougvincent1138 The last episode of GCC saw the return of Gough of Beernuts Productions for his yearly visit and prior to that were some Clone Wars Conversations and an interview with Charles Soule & Ryan Browne regarding their new comic series Lucky Devils!

The writer and artist behind the recently launched The Lucky Devils, Charles Soule and Ryan Browne, join the show to talk about the year their new Image Comics series and the path to bringing it to life. Browne and Soule discuss new release anticipation, how their projects evolve, the rules of these worlds, what they learned from Eight Billion Genies, how they balance each other out, the structure of 8BG, its Wishworld one-shot, what made them want to develop The Lucky Devils, its leads, the darkness of the series, how their collaborations evolve, the sins that tempt them, promotional efforts, how they continue to build, and more.

Writer Charles Soule and artist Ryan Browne are a dynamic duo. Having already teamed up on Curse Words and Eight Billion Genies (both with Image), the pair is back with another crazy fantasy title, this one called Lucky Devils. It's "a tale of two rebellious demons who decide to start a revolution in Hell—and the two ordinary, 20-something humans they're going to manipulate to do it." And the first issue (out last week) features a variant cover by none other than Frank Miller!Get the whole scoop on this episode, then follow Charles on his website charlessoule.com or Instagram @Charyan lesSoule and Ryan on Instagram @ryanbrowneart.____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

As well as the return of Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon, the trio talk about Yoda's foreboding force visions, bizarre force entities & worlds, the Sith world of Moraband/Korriban and the first (& to date only) appearance of Darth Bane on screen, the Rule Of Two, Palpatine's use of Sith rituals & magick and more! Maff also quizzes Dave & Mike on the Jedi council members nearer the end – can you name them all? Episodes featured; Voices, Destiny & Sacrifice.
