Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney held an inventory conference this week and we got some news on upcoming movies and maybe some new Figment content. The 90s was a wild time for Disney parks. Michael Eisner was in the midst of his Disney Decade expansion plans to add new parks and attractions all over the world. Plus Disney World was starting to become the vacation destination we know today. But it wasn't smooth sailing the entire time. Euro Disney opened in the early part of the decade over budget and to underwhelming crowds. The weak launch of the new parks put a major financial strain on the company that impacted a lot of Eisner's grand plans. Today we count down the top parks, attractions and lands whose cancellations can be tied back to the financial struggles of Euro Disney. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

The CELEBRATING SUPERMAN series continues with Eisner award winner MIKE CARLIN, the legendary group editor of Superman comics through the late 80s and 90s. During his beloved Superman tenure, Mike helped lead an all-star team of writers and artists, including the likes of John Byrne, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, Jon Bogdanove, AND MORE. He oversaw such game-changing stories as THE DEATH/RETURN OF SUPERMAN story arc and spearheaded a number of creative decisions that have shaped the character and had major influence on not just the comics themselves but adaptations such as the 1990s Lois & Clark television series and even James Gunn's new film.In their conversation, Shawn and Mike discuss how Mike got into comics, what eventually brought him over to DC, why he and the Superman creative team decided to kill Superman, and an angry phone call from Harlan Ellison once the news of Superman's death hit the mainstream.Episode art illustrated by Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke, kindly provided by Mr. Carlin.
As I was setting up the round of interviews that would be our first Women In Comics Feature to celebrate Women's History Month on the podcast, I wanted to get a variety of voices included to represent different facets of the medium. That lead me to reaching out to Barbra Dillon, Editor-In-Chief of Fanbase Press, a GLAAD Winning and Eisner and Harvey Nominated publisher and geek culture website. Who better than Barbra to cover the angle from both the vantage point of a small indy comics publisher as well as comics journalism. Two birds, one stone and I've been meaning to catch up with her since last Fall when their anthology Ripple Effects was crowdfunding which was of considerable interest to me as its focus is to increase awareness of and highlight people with incurable non-visible diseases like myself. I don't know of another comics journalism outlet that shares such a strongly aligned set of core values like Fanbase does so it was a pleasure to finally get a chance to catch up with her and chat about representation in the medium. Fanbase are celebrating their 15th Anniversary in 2025 and provide a range of unique and diverse programming to support creators in the medium. Please take a moment to check them out if you haven't already. Mission Statement Fanbase Press celebrates fandoms and creates new ones!

Universal communication through stories allows us to examine the essentials of human existence, to understand ourselves better and to grow and/or heal, to pass on important values, knowledge, and lessons to the next generation, and to connect with one another through empathy and compassion. Fanbase Press holds a commitment to looking beyond the simple entertainment factor of pop culture storytelling in order to find the value that each story offers to us as individuals, our world, and/or the human condition. The company was founded in 2010 (originally under the name Fanboy Comics) rebranded to Fanbase Press in May 2016 by co-founders Barbra and Bryant Dillon.

Join me in this episode of Reading To Connect as I sit down with Hope Larson, New York Times bestselling and multi-Eisner award-winning cartoonist, to talk about her new middle-grade graphic novel, Very Bad at Math.We dive into the power of shared reading experiences, the impact of learning differences like dyscalculia, and how books can help kids feel seen. Hope opens up about her personal struggles with math, the pressure of perfectionism, and how her own experiences shaped Verity, the book's protagonist. We also explore friendship dynamics in middle school, the challenges of asking for help, and why kids' interests—including comics and pop culture—are key to connection.What You'll Learn:
Y vamos de nuevos con otra sesión doble y, como es habitual en este formato, con dos tebeos muy diferentes. El primero de ellos es Madre, vuelve a casa , un relato de Paul Hornschemeier aparecido originalmente en la antología Forlorn Funnies en 2003, que en su día sería nominada al Eisner y que en España publicó Astiberri. Y para la segunda parte tenemos, La sombra de Howard Chaykin, publicada en su día por DC en el 86 y rebautizada después en posteriores reediciones como The Shadow: Blood and Justice. Se trata de un tebeo de culto en España, pese a que solo lo publicó Zinco en su día y nunca jamás se ha vuelto a reeditar. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro.

Today's episode is on "George Harrison: Living in the Material World", a 2011 film about The Quiet One directed by Martin Scorsese. It's available on Max. Our guest today is George Harrison and Bob Dylan superfan Britt Eisnor. Check out her excellent Dylan content on Instagram. This movie is about George's mysticism, more or less, and weaves in and out of his very famous life story. There are some great talking heads, not all of whom are great people (I'm looking at you, Phil Spector) or come of as well as they think they do (and now I'm looking at you, Eric Clapton), and one conspicuous absence. Also, this movie would have you believe that George Harrison only recorded one solo album. It seems like his career as a musician continued on past 1970, but who can really tell for sure?

Eisner and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook is back! Tyler is promoting the new Complete Edition of Harrow County from Dark Horse Comics, a massive tome of a book. We get to chat about some of the character design inspirations for the project and the other stuff he's been up to lately which include releasing a hardbound, collected edition of his series The Lonesome Hunters, producing of all things a skelton key design for the horror classic Sleepy Hollow, and his new series Out of Alcatraz with writer Christopher Cantwell (who was just on the pod with Jimmy.)

Every time Eisner and Ringo Nominated Steve Foxe comes on the show to chat with me, I'm blown away by just how many projects he's dropping. In this episode, we're covering three of them primarily. He's living the dream getting to write an Alien mini-series with Paradiso, there's the inaugural release of the new True Weird line of books from Dark Horse Comics and James Tynion's Tiny Onion focused on the myth of the Jersey Devil called Let This One Be A Devil, and spinning out of the Spider-Woman series is the New Champions, a wild concept where he was able to put together a new team of heroes based on twenty-two variant covers that dropped a year or so ago inspired by Marvel icons that were reimagined for the next generation. The only way to keep track of it all is to sign up for his newsletter. Alien Paradiso - Dec 11, 2024 WELCOME TO PARADISO! Welcome to Paradiso, where the money flows like blood and the blood flows like acid! The Tulum of space, Paradiso is a hidden gem among the colonies with its tropical climate, white sand beaches and a remarkable population of hyper-wealthy criminals. When Colonial Marshals Dash Nanda and Lydia Reeves are sent there to bust a smuggling ring, they think they've hit the job-assignment jackpot. But the only ones getting lucky here are those HUNGRY enough to take what they need. Steve Foxe, Edgar Salazar and guest contributor Peter Nguyen shine neon lights on the horrors of the Alien franchise with a bold story of the gambles we must take to survive! New Champions - Jan 8, 2025 WHO ARE THE NEW CHAMPIONS? What do four kids whose lives were derailed by Hydra, Scarlet Witch's mysterious protégé, a cursed roller derby jammer and a Wakandan runaway have in common? Not much! But when Hellrune's mysterious powers activate to bring them together, they'll have to learn how to work as a team quickly - or face the wrath of the Cult of Hela! Steve Foxe and Ivan Fiorelli (TIMESLIDE) team up to introduce the next generation of Marvel Heroes! Let This One Be A Devil - Feb 2025 In the early 1900s, Henry Naughton returns home to the family farm in the swampy Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. One night, he encounters a strange predator stalking the woods. This sends the young scholar on a research project that uncovers the legend of Mother Leeds and the terrible birth of the JERSEY DEVIL in 1735. James Tynion IV (BLUE BOOK, Something is Killing the Children) and Steve Foxe (Dark X-Men, All Eight Eyes along with Piotr Kowalski (Bloodborne, Where Monsters Lie) bring the Jersey Devil to life in a supernatural tale of horror that peels back unknown layers of history and reveals local monsters and universal terrors.

Disney is all about gouging the consumer for the maximum amount of money it can extract, and it's not even hiding it anymore. Disney's pricing strategy now charges over $100 per day for base tickets, plus extra for premium experiences like Genie+ and Lightning Lane, potentially costing visitors up to $450 per day at Magic Kingdom. New E-ticket attractions require upcharges to ride, while base tickets only grant access to older rides, similar to Cobalt Coast's tiered pricing model. Disney's Epcot Festival Center and hotels now have a sterile, corporate feel compared to the whimsical, branded style of the Eisner era. Base tickets offer limited ride opportunities, making the value proposition of paying over $100 per day questionable without additional premium experiences. Disney's focus on raising premium prices leaves base ticket holders with fewer options, potentially making it difficult for visitors to enjoy the park without paying significantly more. Disney's increasing prices and focus on profit over value are alienating fans and diminishing the overall experience, risking loyalty to competitors. 00:00 Disney's price hikes are frustrating fans as they pay more for diminishing value. 01:46 Disney's growing greed is evident as they impose extra fees for attractions, creating a pay-to-play model. 04:09 Disney is raising prices and sacrificing its unique charm under Iger's corporate leadership, prioritizing profit over legacy. 06:36 Disney is prioritizing profit over value, charging more for limited access to attractions and disillusioning influencers. 08:38 Disney's price hikes and disappointing offerings are alienating customers, risking loyalty to competitors like Epic Universe. 11:20 Disney's rising prices and complex systems are driving down public interest and making visits prohibitively expensive. 12:57 Disney is prioritizing profit over its legacy and fans by mishandling projects and replacing free perks with paid experiences. 14:54 Disney's escalating extra charges for attractions and superficial creative changes are damaging their reputation and driving fans to competitors.

Batman and Robin From the publisher Damian Wayne is the son of the Bat, grandson of the Demon, and Robin—but as he nears the age at which his father traveled the world, one question is on his mind: Who is Damian outside of the crusades his family has tasked him with fighting since birth? When he starts to look beyond his life of endless violence, a different way to help the world begins to present itself—but when an enigmatic new murderer begins reenacting traumatic crimes from Gotham's history, Batman will need Robin more than ever before! It's a whole new dynamic for the Dynamic Duo as the powerhouse team of Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Superman: Warworld Saga) and Javier Fernandez (King Spawn, Nightwing) bring you the dark and mystifying next chapter in the lives of Bruce and Damian Wayne! You are not ready for what's in store. Crocodile Black From the publisher What makes someone turn to crime–especially in a modern, pandemic-riddled dystopia? Danny, a seemingly mundane young man lost in escapism, with a spiraling lack of control over his life, witnesses something during a delivery job that will change him forever, turning things as dark as the black, crocodile skin boots that he can't take his eyes off of… In this criminal thriller perfect for fans of Kill Or Be Killed and A Righteous Thirst For Vengeance from Eisner-nominated writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Superman, Incredible Hulk) and rising star artist Somnath Pal (Brigands) give birth to an iconic new noir lead in the tradition of Elmore Leonard.

Her work at Marvel includes X-23, Black Widow, Han Solo, Dark Wolverine and Astonishing X-Men.

You are in for a treat today because I have writer Tananarive Due on the podcast with me to chat about her new Image Comics project Moon Dogs. She's new to comics but has an American Book Award, an NAACP Image Award, a World Fantasy Award, and two Stoker nominations under her belt already and this book is absolutely fantastic so if she sticks with it, I'm personally convinced there will be an Eisner to add to the trophy cabinet down the road. Moon Dogs is the third launch from The Horizon Experiment, a series of five one-shot comic books each featuring original protagonists from a marginalized background set in a popular genre and inspired by pop culture icons. In this story we follow Nala, a young werewolf, and her family of East African shapeshifters in Miami. There's even a werehyena. Can you believe it? My favorite animal. That's not a big spoiler. It's a mixed family after all. Do yourself a favor and call your shop to snag yourself a copy because I'm convinced the numbers will merit at least a follow up limited series. Make sure to sign up for her mailing list. Additional creative team members Kelsey Ramsay - Art Jose Villarrubia - Colors Jeff Powell - Letters From Bloody Disgusting: Co-edited by Pichetshote and award-winning editor Will Dennis (Somna, Gideon Falls), The Horizon Experiment: Moon Dogs follows a Black family of lycanthropes of East African descent—who call themselves Moon Dogs—as older sister Nala, her parents, and her boyfriend try to protect her teen brother Kai as he gets caught in the middle of a burgeoning war between a savage pack of werewolves and the Miami police force. After a violent attack, Miami locals are starting to learn that werewolves are not just a myth, and Nala's family—who are minorities within a minority—find themselves drawn into a very dangerous situation.
