George Lombard is struggling a bit at shortstop for the Yankees — no pressure, right? And Drake Baldwin hitting bombs to start a game has officially become a Quirkjian. On This Date in Baseball History, we talk about Bob Gibson, including a hilarious Johnny Bench story about him, as well as Rico Carty.

Fresh off a series win in the Crosstown Classic, Pete Crow-Armstrong cemented himself in Cubs history. Monday night's walk-off home run gave him his consecutive 30/30 seasons! PCA is the first Cub to do that in the franchise's 150 years. Alex and Lance dissect the young center fielder's historic season and why it might be the best one ever by a Cub.Furthermore, the guys address the injury news from the week on the latest episode of Cubs Now.

This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod dig into another week of comics—but first, they take a look at the state of the comic book industry. Are more people actually buying comics? Why is DC's Absolute line dominating comic shops? And what happens to smaller indie titles when stores simply can't afford to keep them on the shelves?Then it's time for the week's reviews, including Absolute Batman #23, Detective Comics #1111, Punisher #7, Conan the Barbarian #33, Shell Shock #1, The Dirt Beneath the Devil #1, and more. Jarrod also catches up with Rook: Exodus, a series that continues to impress with its worldbuilding and incredible artwork.For Picks of the Week, Jarrod discovers an unexpected winner in Black Star #1, while Steve chooses Fire and Ice: Dark Wolf #2, a visually stunning fantasy adventure that may be light on story this issue but delivers where it counts with atmosphere, artwork, coloring, and lettering.Finally, the Lone Wolf and Cub readalong continues with Volume 11. After the intensity of Volume 10, the story slows down for a more emotional and introspective collection that explores Ogami and Daigoro separately before bringing their paths together again. The discussion looks at Daigoro's growing empathy, the symbolism running throughout the volume, and why this decades-old manga continues to feel remarkably timeless.Join us for comic reviews, industry talk, our Picks of the Week, and another journey down the assassin's road with Lone Wolf and Cub.Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe

After missing last week's update, I'm back with plenty to catch up on!This week I'm talking about my continued journey through The Bonehunters, why reading Malazan with a group has become almost essential for me, and the very different experience I've been having with the much lighter and funnier Carpentry in the Elven Forest. I'm also continuing Lone Wolf and Cub on Panel Chewing and our full-spoiler reread of The Warrior Prophet and The Second Apocalypse.I'm also officially announcing my upcoming Blood Meridian readalong. Starting September 7, I'll be tackling Cormac McCarthy's novel one chapter at a time, with a new episode every day. Rather than simply recapping each chapter, I want to slow down, ask questions, track how my thoughts change throughout the novel, and hopefully bring in a guest at the end to help dig even deeper into the book.There's plenty happening with Beyond the Page as well. I talk about some recent and upcoming conversations covering everything from Hollywood and science fiction to romance, Sasquatch, AI, creativity, and some incredible real-life stories.And Friday Conversations is officially back! We recently recorded a new episode with Leila Gausi and Alex French discussing dystopian science fiction, AI, separating the art from the artist, and plenty more. I'm hoping to make these casual, free-flowing conversations a regular part of Page Chewing again.I also talk about the new Page Chewing Patreon, revisiting The Hunger Games movies, why the ebook deals posts have ended, and why I'm more than ready for summer to be over.Thanks for listening, reading along, and continuing to support Page Chewing!This week:The Bonehunters reading updateCarpentry in the Elven ForestLone Wolf and CubThe Warrior Prophet full-spoiler rereadThe upcoming Blood Meridian daily readalongNew and upcoming Beyond the Page interviewsThe return of Friday ConversationsPage Chewing PatreonRevisiting The Hunger GamesAnd more!Question of the Week:Have you read Blood Meridian?

This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod are back with two weeks' worth of comics and unfortunately, the stack isn't exactly overflowing with winners.They dig into Absolute Green Lantern, Absolute Superman, Kingdom of Earth, Endeavour, Savage Sword of Conan, Queen in Black, Foundations, Red Roots, Powers 25, Terabytes, American Caper, The Dirt Beneath the Devil, Ezra Cain: Mysteries of the Peril Brutal Dark, City of Demons, and more. There are plenty of disappointments, a few books headed straight off the pull list, and thankfully some standouts that make the rough week worthwhile. For their Picks of the Week, Jarrod celebrates Patrick Zircher's return to Solomon Kane with The Lion Errant #1, while Steve finds an unexpected favorite in Mad Cave Studios' The Omega Book #1, a strange science fiction mystery involving an estranged father and son, hidden dimensions, and a device capable of revealing what lies behind the reality we see. Then it's time to continue the Lone Wolf and Cub readalong with Volume 10, and this may be the best volume yet. The conflict between Ogami Itto and the Yagyu reaches a new level, Ogami and Daigoro are pushed into unfamiliar territory, and some of the series' most impressive action and visual storytelling takes center stage. Steve and Jarrod discuss the emotional weight of Daigoro's journey, the incredible artwork, and why this decades old manga still feels timeless. Which comics survived the week, and is Volume 10 really the best Lone Wolf and Cub volume so far?

A Note from James:This is a very special episode for me.There have only been a few times in the history of this podcast when I've had the chance to sit down with one of my heroes. This is one of those times.Frank Miller is one of the most important storytellers of my life. When I first picked up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in 1986, it completely changed what I thought comics could be. This wasn't just another Batman story. It was a revolution. Frank took Batman out of the colorful, campy world I grew up with and turned him into something darker, mythic, terrifying, and psychologically real.There is a comic book industry before The Dark Knight Returns, and there is a comic book industry after The Dark Knight Returns. Every Batman movie since then carries Frank's fingerprints in some way. But it wasn't just Batman. Frank changed Daredevil. He created Ronin. He created Sin City. He showed that comics could handle adult stories, painful arcs, crime, tragedy, mythology, obsession, and moral ambiguity.But what matters most to me is that Frank is a master storyteller. And I love storytelling. Whether it's books, podcasts, articles, comics, or just how we make sense of our lives, story is everything.So getting to sit down with Frank Miller and talk about Batman, myth, creativity, mentorship, discipline, and his new book, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, was a dream come true.This was my first in-person podcast in years. Jay drove up from Atlanta. I flew into the city. And yes, I brought my copy of The Dark Knight Returns for Frank to sign.Episode Description:Frank Miller didn't just write and draw some of the most influential comics of the modern era. He changed the grammar of comics.In this conversation, James sits down with Miller to talk about Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, Ronin, Sin City, and Miller's new book, Push the Wall. The conversation begins with Batman, but quickly becomes a larger discussion about how characters become myths.For Miller, Batman was never just a rich detective in a costume. The material was already there from the beginning: a child witnessing the murder of his parents, growing up without powers, building himself into a force through discipline, intelligence, and obsession. Miller's goal was to pull that core truth out and make Batman stand beside older pulp and mythic figures like Zorro, The Shadow, and the hard-edged heroes of crime cinema.James and Frank also talk about how myths are built around simple central values. Superman is hope. Batman is justice, vengeance, effort, and fear. The art is not in making those ideas complicated. The art is in placing them inside a human context so they feel emotionally true.The discussion moves into the craft of comics itself: page layouts, panel borders, visual rhythm, and how the pictures carry most of the story. Miller reflects on the influence of Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, Japanese samurai films, martial arts movies, Greek tragedy, Jean Giraud/Moebius, Lone Wolf and Cub, and the creative power of combining worlds that do not obviously belong together.They also talk about mentorship. Miller describes calling Neal Adams from the phone book, bringing him drawings, and enduring brutally honest criticism. That toughness, he says, was part of the training. To survive as an artist, you need egoism without egotism: enough belief to keep coming back, but enough humility to keep learning.The episode closes with practical advice for young artists today: go to conventions, build the strongest portfolio you can, seek out hard criticism, don't chase only the biggest titles, protect your original ideas, and look for “losers” you can make great.What You'll Learn:Why Frank Miller wanted Batman to become a myth, not just another superhero.How The Dark Knight Returns helped move comics toward darker, more adult storytelling.Why Batman's lack of superpowers is exactly what makes him compelling.How mythic characters are built around simple core themes like hope, vengeance, justice, or discipline.Why comics are not just written stories with pictures, but a visual storytelling machine.How Miller learned from Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, samurai films, noir, Greek tragedy, and European comics.Why creativity often comes from combining unrelated influences.What Miller means by “egoism, but not egotism.”Why young artists should seek out hard lessons instead of easy praise.How to enter comics today without giving away original work too early.Why determination, stamina, and a lack of Plan B shaped Miller's career.What Miller is working on next, including a new Western-style Sin City story.Timestamped Chapters:[03:41] Meeting Frank

Stealing From the GreatsWhy artists must study and learn from earlier practitioners rather than pretending genius arrives fully formed.[23:47] Batman Is Possessed, Not ObsessedFrank corrects James's description of Batman and explains that Batman is filled with an eternal force.[24:50] Daredevil, Samurai, Crime, and Greek TragedyHow Miller fused martial arts films, ninja stories, crime movies, and Greek tragedy into his Daredevil run.[27:01] Stick, Elektra, and the Sensei ArchetypeJames and Frank trace the mentor-student relationship through Daredevil, samurai stories, and mythic training

take control after childhood trauma.[33:43] Pushing Batman to the ExtremeWhy Miller made the Batmobile a tank and amplified the character's core qualities.[33:50] How Frank Would Start TodayMiller advises young artists to attend conventions, show their work, use the internet, and seek honest feedback.[34:36] Seek Hard CriticismWhy young creators should avoid people who only make them feel good.[34:59] Don't Chase the Biggest TitlesMiller advises artists to look for overlooked characters—or better yet, create something themselves.[35:21] Find a Loser and Do It RightA practical creative strategy: identify something bad, understand why it fails, and build the better version.[35:41] Gatekeepers and New AvenuesFrank weighs the traditional obstacles against new channels for artists to get discovered.[36:27] Protect Your Original IdeasWhy young artists should be careful about handing over original material too early.[37:00] Humility, Listening, and Surviving the BusinessMiller adds

This week on the Page Chewing Weekly Update, I share one of my biggest surprises of the year as The Bonehunters delivers what may be my favorite chapter in the series so far, without diving into spoilers. I also talk about revisiting The Darkness That Comes Before, why rereading continues to reveal new layers, and my thoughts on Lone Wolf and Cub and Carpentry in the Elven Forest. Beyond the books, I reveal some exciting changes coming to the podcast schedule, including the launch of Beyond the Page, a new interview series featuring authors, publishers, and other creative voices. I also discuss plans for The Daily Page, a short weekday series built around timeless quotes and reflections from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.I also share my thoughts on finally revisiting Paranormal Activity, why I think found-footage horror is difficult to recreate in the modern era, and a frustrating weekend spent searching for used bookstores that can still compete with online retailers. If you're looking for your next read, I wrap things up by asking for your recommendations outside of fantasy.In this episode:Why Chapter 7 of The Bonehunters has completely won me over (spoiler free)Continuing my reread of The Darkness That Comes BeforeThoughts on Lone Wolf and Cub and Carpentry in the Elven ForestNew podcast schedule and the launch of Beyond the PagePlans for The Daily Page and reading from The ProphetRevisiting Paranormal Activity and found-footage horrorThe challenge of finding great used bookstoresLooking for recommendations beyond fantasy fictionThanks for listening, and as always, happy readingPodcast equipment used (Amazon Affiliate links):Rodecaster DuoRode PSA1+ Professional Studio ArmRode Procaster Microphone

Avgas hit 8.85 a gallon, so the $100 hamburger is now a $300 hamburger, and if you're renting, congratulations, it's a $1,000 hamburger. Brian, Ben, and Ted dig into how midlifers actually keep flying when fuel costs go vertical: pull the power back and trade five knots for four gallons an hour, cast a wide net for a safety pilot to split the cost, chase the cheapest fuel 50 miles out, and rediscover this thing called "morning." The feedback bag is stacked this week. The Tuba Guy writes in from the Boston Symphony, 13 years out of the cockpit and finding his way back. Listener Jason followed in Brian's footsteps to Drift Aviation and got hooked on the J-3 Cub. And Cassie, a brand-new private pilot, relies on the show for her weekly "aviation friend fix," which nearly earns her 30 instant pilot friends in Portland whether she wants them or not.Plus a legendary 1 Dull Geek Rant on the the eternal question of where exactly you're supposed to do your run-up.

This week on Page Chewing, I'm talking about the books currently on my nightstand and a question every reader eventually faces: why do we reread books we've already finished?I share my ongoing rereads of The Bonehunters and The Darkness That Comes Before, discuss why some stories become comfort reads while others are one-and-done experiences, and explore how our relationship with books changes as we grow older. Are rereads a waste of time, or do great books reveal something new every time we return to them?Along the way, I chat about The Prophet, Lone Wolf and Cub, Carpentry and the Elven Forest, revisiting Fight Club, and why slowing down and appreciating the stories we love might be more important than chasing the next big thing.What are you reading this week?

In this week's update, I talk about everything that's been occupying my reading life lately—from continuing my journey through The Bonehunters with the Page Burners group to revisiting The Darkness That Comes Before in a full-spoiler reread of The Second Apocalypse.

The Mandalorian and Grogu plays like a few stitched-together episodes of The Mandalorian, which makes it a particularly apt pairing with the 1980 Lone Wolf and Cub assemblage Shogun Assassin — but whether the first new Star Wars feature film since 2019 manages to distinguish itself from its television counterpart is another question. We’re joined again by Filmspotting: SVU co-host Matt Singer to talk through a movie that aims to appeal to both a new generation of Star Wars fans and an older one, and often misses both marks. Then we bring Shogun Assassin back in for Connections, to discuss how The Mandalorian and Grogu honors its forebear in big, structural ways — lethally capable father figures roaming a dangerous landscape alongside the young charges they’re protecting/endangering — and in moments of beat-for-beat homage. And for Your Next Picture Show we offer a preview of what lies ahead for those who decide to continue their cinematic journey down the Lone Wolf and Cub path. Please share your thoughts about Shogun Assassin, The Mandalorian and Grogu, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

The Mandalorian and Grogu gives the feature-film treatment to a streaming series whose premise — an outcast warrior lives by a code of honor while traveling in the company of an adorable small companion — owes no small debt to the Japanese multimedia franchise Lone Wolf and Cub. But rather than comb through the six installments comprising that film series for a good match, we’re looking at another attempt to translate Lone Wolf and Cub to Western audiences via the 1980 compilation Shogun Assassin. Joined this week by Filmspotting SVU’s Matt Singer, we discuss how Shogun Assassin’s “just the hits” approach to combining the first two films in the series simplifies the plot and amplifies the action, and how this franchise’s comic-book origins come through in the film’s use of heightened violence, dynamic editing, and narration. Then in Feedback we hear from a couple of listeners about one very recent episode, and one very old one.

CUB, along with organizations like Illinois PIRG, the Environmental Defense Fund, and Legal Action Chicago, argue that Nicor’s proposal for a $220.8 million rate hike should be cut by 80 percent.

Landings. Taxiing. Overconfident airline pilots in light sport aircraft. She's seen it all, and she's got the data to back it up.In this episode, Marci opens up about her wildly unexpected path from a Pittsburgh girl chasing a paralegal certificate to becoming the first non-pilot sales underwriter at AVEMCO — and eventually SVP. She talks about the calls she dreads taking on Monday mornings, what separates a superior pilot from a scary one, and why 60% of pilots are leaving real money on the table every single year.She also gets candid about being a woman in a male-dominated industry for decades, her work with Women in Aviation International, and what it actually takes to build a 39-year career at one company.Whether you fly a J-3 Cub or a 737, this episode will change how you think about risk, training, and what it means to truly be a safe pilot.Happy Flying,Justin
