Une nouvelle année démarre, mais on avait encore un cadeau des fêtes à vous offrir : un podcast spécial Red Sonja ! Longtemps en gestation, et parti d'ailleurs sous de mauvais auspices, le nouveau film consacré à l'héroïne barbare rousse la plus célèbre du monde est finalement... hé bien, sorti. Sans grandes ouailles, sans grande promotion, mais il est quand même sorti, et on avait envie de vous en parler. C'est donc ce qu'on a fait avec nos micros, et heureusement, vous allez pouvoir en profiter !Red Sonja, pas si nanar que ça ?C'est en effet en compagnie de l'ami Spleenter que nous nous sommes réunis (en duo) en fin d'année dernière afin de vous offrir ce podcast dédié au film Red Sonja. Mais l'ami Corentin est aussi présent pour vous faire un bon point de rappel de l'historique complexe du personnage, depuis sa "naissance" dans les écrits de Robert E. Howard à sa réinvention par Roy Thomas, jusqu'à son exploitation comme muse de Dynamite Comics aujourd'hui. On revient aussi sur le premier film dédié à l'héroïne, avant de faire le point sur ce que nous donne sa reprise moderne.Si le podcast vous plaît, ne manquez pas de le faire savoir !

Expanding the WorldWhat's it like contributing to a Tim Burton universe project?What excited you most about the chance to tell a new story within The Nightmare Before Christmas universe, and how did you approach capturing that distinct mix of spooky and sweet?2. Character FocusSally takes center stage in this series. What aspects of her character did you want to explore or expand on that fans haven't seen before?3. The New CreationDr. Finkelstein's latest creation, Shiver, sounds like a charming new addition to Halloween Town. What inspired this character, and what role does Shiver play in the story's themes?4. Trick-or-Treat Trio TroubleLock, Shock, and Barrel are fan favorites for their chaotic energy. How was it writing for those three troublemakers, especially as they head off to Christmas Town?5. Visual CollaborationEdu Menna's art brings a lot of gothic personality to the book. How did you two work together to strike the balance between Burton-esque atmosphere and the fun of a family-friendly adventure?6. Tone and AudienceThe series is described as “perfect for all ages.” How did you balance writing something that works for longtime fans of the film and younger readers discovering Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time?7. Franchise LegacyThe Shiver of Christmas Town follows Long Live the Pumpkin Queen: The Graphic Novel. How does this story build on that ongoing relationship between Dynamite and Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas world?8. The Magic of Halloween (and Christmas)Without giving too much away, what do you hope readers take away from this story about the magic—or mischief—of the holiday spirit?9. Character and Tone Your work often blends grit and introspection—how are you approaching Selina Kyle's duality as both a thief and protector in your Catwoman run, and what new sides of her character are you most excited to explore?
