This isn't just any villain origin; it's a fever dream of seduction, fire, and psychological torment, all wrapped up in Ann Nocenti's signature surrealism.We break down the chaos of Typhoid Mary's first appearance, where she juggles murder, mind control, and a garbage strike (yes, really), all while catching the eye of the Kingpin himself. And because this is X-Reads, we're diving into her mutant status and why she's one of the most unique villains to walk the line between X-Men and Daredevil.Does Typhoid Mary out-crazy the Kingpin? Is Matt Murdock too distracted to see what's coming? And most importantly, what does this mean for her future in the MCU? Press play before the garbage piles up!Find us on the AIPT Podcast Network.

As an original comic art collector, I'm excited because we are going to dive today into a different corner of the comics collectable market today. There's been a bit of an upheaval in recent weeks with the exodus of artists from Cadence Comic Art.

Enter my guests today. Arnaud Lapeyre and Steve Morger are the co-founders of the Lake Como Comic Art Festival, a unique, curated event designed to streamline the traditional convention experience and focus solely on the comic artists and their artwork. This is a one of a kind comic art festival in I guarantee what has to be the most idyllic of locations for something like this. Fandom never got treated so good.

JK Woodward has been drawing and painting "Star Trek" comics for years, working on many different series. Most recently, he's done covers and interiors for IDW's Star Trek TNG Mirrorverse saga, one of the most epic and ambitious Mirror Universe stories ever told in Trek! Woodward talks about the evolution of his art style, using Star Trek as an example of the changes, how he broke into comics, and what his artistic process today is like, including a live demo of a Star Trek DS9 commission and one of his most used techniques to paint backgrounds in Star Trek comics. We also spend much time on the Mirrorverse Saga, like the secret inspiration for Mirror Picard, working with Scott & David Tipton, and the amazing Star Trek comic idea he wants to make!

We're back! Thank you all for your patience during our break. But I believe with my latest guest, Ken Viola, that the wait was worth it. What drives this podcast more than anything are the collector stories. Having been a collector since the 1950s, it's safe to say that Ken has witnessed and experienced more than most in this hobby. Not many can say they were friends with Steve Ditko, or got to hang Frank Frazetta's Egyptian Queen painting in their parents' home, or can lay claim to being the OG Alan Moore art collector. Or produce a documentary featuring Will Eisner, Frank Miller, Moebius, Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, and other comics legends. And that's just scratching the surface.  We're going to bring Ken back down the road for part two...for now, enjoy your intro to Ken Viola!

Connection is everything ! Join us in The Sober Club whether you are sober curious, or have been sober for years, its all about focusing on the life you don't want to escape from. www.thesoberclub.com Janey chats to comic author Rachael Smith on making sense of life through comic art on the release of her highly acclaimed new book  Glass half empty Grief, mental health problems, and a troubled childhood leading to her to self-medicating with alcohol. The pandemic made all her problems worse: she was isolated and depressed. Stuck scrolling the internet for horrible news, both global and personal. People were either terrified or bored, or a heady mixture of both. It was a weird time. Alcohol turned from a way of making everything a party into making everything bearable. A worrying turning point.  She got better through therapy, and journaling through comics. Comics are how she make sense of the world. Making comics about her life helps her work out how she is feeling about things, and she realised she was feeling pretty awful about her relationship with alcohol. She's feeling a lot happier now.! Events STOP PRESS - To celebrate the 250th episode of this podcast we are hosting a meet up and live podcast recording on Tuesday Aug 15 at 6.30 in London - special guests will be the first few guests who were on the podcast when it launched, William Porter, Laura Willougby and Clare Pooley Tickets will be on sale soon at www.thesoberclub.com/events/ Sat Aug 19 its Sober by the Sea in Southend, join us to create a vision board and focus on what you want for the future - click on events  Follow Janey on social media - always reach out! @janeyleegrace Interested in being a Sober Coach?

John Jennings—Hugo Award winner, New York Times bestselling author, curator, scholar, and Artist—is keenly aware that in adapting novels for the graphic format, his decisions turn what has only been imagined into facts drawn on the page. In this conversation with critic, translator, and teacher of a creative course on the art of making comics, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, Jennings explores how he makes those decisions that range from the design of endpapers to selecting a character's skin tone with the ultimate aim of championing Black culture and Black comics. Given that Jennings has just entered the Marvel Universe with the debut of Silver Surfer: Ghost Light, the timing is right to reflect on the pressures and pleasures of adapting beloved stories for a contemporary audience. Jennings is both teacher and student of comics' powerful lessons, and lucky for listeners, his course comes with an illustrated syllabus, aka illabus. In the podcast's first ever episode about graphic novels, Jennings and Cloutier talk comic book history, the power of collaboration, and the importance of long showers.
