Hang out with Al Mega as he chats with award-winning comic book creator and graphic novelist Rich Koslowski. Tune in to learn all about his latest project from Top Shelf/IDW, F.A.R.M. System & more… Rich Koslowski's Website: https://www.richkoslowski.com/ Rich's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rich.koslowski F.A.R.M. SYSTEM SYNOPSIS: In the Farm System, having an incredible and unique power is only the first step. Guided by an army of agents, managers, and experts, recruits must undergo rigorous psychological evaluations, harassment and sensitivity seminars, marketing, and endorsement workshops, and costume design meetings, all to boost their chances of recruitment into an A-list superhero team. Some recruits make “the Bigs”. Some have fleeting moments of glory, then lose it all. Some take “Blue Cowl” gigs as superpowered bodyguards for famous actors or powerful CEOs. Some flounder in the System for years, never getting “the call”. And some find success by joining teams of a… less reputable ilk. Following the profound pop-culture satire of Three Fingers, The King, and BB Wolf and The Three LPs, award-winning graphic novelist Rich Koslowski examines the hopes, disappointments, perseverance, and triumphs of the super-gifted… and the sometimes drastic lengths they will go to achieve fortune and fame. ABOUT RICH KOSLOWSKI: Rich Koslowski is best known for his fan-friendly comic book series The 3 Geeks (later Geeksville), as the recipient of three Eisner Award nominations, and for the much-lauded graphic novel Three Fingers in 2002 (published by Top Shelf Productions), which won the coveted Ignatz Award for Outstanding Graphic Novel and was named as one of the 500 Essential Graphic Novels by Harper Collins in 2008. In 2005, his second graphic novel with Top Shelf, The King, was released and has been published in multiple foreign languages. In 2007, he wrote his first novel, a Christmas thriller entitled The List. 2008 brought Koslowski his first writing assignment for Marvel Comics, rebooting their popular Guardian character, now named Weapon Omega. Koslowski's writing of Weapon Omega was recognized with a Prism Award. In 2010, his third graphic novel with Top Shelf, BB Wolf and the Three LPs, was released and Koslowski won the Glyph Award for Best Artist. Thank You for Watching / Listening!

The state law requires any records showing discrimination by law enforcement be released to the public. The questions remains: is the public seeing everything it should? Then, Amtrak weekend services returned on Saturday for the first time since operations were suspended in October to repair a section of track along the San Clemente coast that was damaged during a storm surge. Next, California just enacted a law that requires employers to post the pay range of jobs they're seeking applicants for. But does making salaries public empower low wage workers, or does it just put privacy at risk? And, when storms battered California last month, the streets of Planada became rivers. Hundreds of homes flooded and the whole town was evacuated. Now people in this rural Central Valley community are trying to put their lives back together. Next, a new book from local journalist Dean Calbreath uncovers the forgotten history of an African immigrant who became a hero in the Civil War in “The Sergeant: The Incredible Life of Nicholas Said.” Finally, KPBS arts reporter Beth Accomando speaks with University of South Carolina professor Qiana Whitted about her Eisner Award-winning book, “EC Comics: Race, Shock and Social Protest.”

Jake and Ron chat with New York Times bestseller and 2-Time Bram Stoker Award winner about his latest novel, All Hallows! The book is set in 1984 in Massachusetts. Since Jake and Christopher both live near the Boston area they end up talking not only about All Hallows, but about common experiences they had as horror fans growing up in the New England eighties.At 55, Christopher Golden has been nominated for the British Fantasy Award, the Eisner Award, and multiple Shirley Jackson Awards.He's been nominated for the prestigious Bram Stoker Award 10 times in eight different categories. He's won twice, once for Cut his excellent edited collection of horror writers on horror. And more recently for Aarat, his opening salvo in the riveting Ben Walker series. It's likely as not he'll win again because like his former podcast co-host Jonathan Maberry, his imagination is seemingly inexhaustible.I first encountered his work in 1997. When his Hellboy novel, The Lost Army, was released by Dark Horse and immediately recognized that there was at least one writer other than Mike Mignola, who really knew how to write one of the great characters in comics. Dark Horse apparently realized it too, and went on to publish two more of Golden's Hellboy novels.Golden and Mignola together expanded Hellboy's Otherverse, introducing readers to Joe Golem and The Baltimores .A complete accounting of Golden's other work would require more time than we have. It would include ab stint as writer for Marvel's Punisher, a series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tie-Ins.The Body of Evidence series, several series for young adult readers, and a slew of terrific standalone novels, including one of our favorites from last year, The Road of Bones, which you should go by right now or after you listen to this interview. This year's All Halls is set in the same fictional New England town as Golden's 2014 novel Snow Blind. We sat down to talk with Golden about his latest book, All Hallows, which is releasing on January 24th.All Hallows by Christopher Goldenhttps://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250280299/allhallowsChristopher Golden Web Sitehttps://www.christophergolden.com/The Wrath of the iOtiansEmail: thewrathoftheiotians@gmail.comInstagram: thewrathoftheiotiansTwitter:  @OfiOtiansWebsite: https://thewrathoftheiotians.buzzsprout.com/MusicLand Of The Me-me by Aleksandar Dimitrijevic (TONO)Licensed under the NEO Sounds Music License Agreement

On today's episode, I talk to comics creator Cliff Chiang. Originally from New Jersey, Cliff wasn't sure of his direction in life, but wanted to give his dream of making comics a try and got an editorial job at DC/Vertigo after college. This led to drawing anthology stories and single issues which led to higher profile gigs on books like Human Target and Wonder Woman. In 2015, Cliff co-created the Eisner Award-winning series Paper Girls with Brian K. Vaughan, which was turned into a canceled-way-too-soon series on Amazon this year, and most recently, he wrote and drew the fantastic miniseries Catwoman: Lonely City, which just wrapped up at the end of October.

The Killing Joke is a comic that ended up steering the trajectory of the character of the Joker almost permanently after it came out. For better or worse, the story of the day the Joker finally went too far has stuck with audiences. In the comic the Joker says this line: All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. The Joker, The Killing Joke (1988) But what if other members of Batman's rogues had their one bad day? With DC's series of Batman: One Bad Day, we are now getting to see what those are from some of the biggest names in the industry.  The series kicked off with Tom King, Mitch Gerads, and Clayton Cowles telling the story of The Riddler's one bad day. Tom King and Mitch Gerads are a Eisner Award winning duo who's previous joint work on titles like Mister Miracle, Strange Adventures, and more has cemented them as giants in the industry. Tom King and Mitch Gerads portrayal of The Riddler is a dark and calculated turn by the silly man in the green get up that pushes the character to the limit with a beautifully crafted story and artwork to match. It's a story that dives deeper into the character himself but defines his origins with more gravitas and weight than he was previously given. This story has the makings to be the definitive Riddler story for years to come. On this episode, Tom King and Mitch Gerads come on to dive deeper into the story, the art, and the themes of the book. This episode is filled to the brim with SPOILERS so please read the issue before listening to this in depth discussion. It's a great conversation discussing the duo and the story they got to kick off the One Bad Day series with. The comic is available anywhere you get your comics.

The manga is paired with an extensive essay by Dr. Holmberg, in which he positions Yamada's oeuvre within the history of alternative manga and Yamada's manga within her life. Alternative manga is primarily associated with male artists in the United States, but Holmberg illuminates why that came to be and how that image varies from reality through his examination of Yamada's oeuvre. Talk to My Back (Drawn & Quarterly, 2022) portrays a woman's relationship with her two daughters as they mature and assert their independence, and with her husband, who works late and sees his wife as little more than a domestic servant. While engaging frankly with the compromises of marriage and motherhood, Yamada saves her harshest criticisms for society at large, particularly its false promises of eternal satisfaction within the nuclear family. Ryan Holmberg is a comics historian and translator. He is the author of The Translator Without Talent (2020) and Garo Manga: The First Decade, 1964-1973 (2010). He has edited and translated over two dozen manga, including the 2014 Eisner Award-winning edition of Tezuka Osamu's The Mysterious Underground Men. His many essays and reviews can be found in such venues as The Comics Journal, Artforum International, and The New York Review. He has advised on exhibitions at the British Museum and the Honolulu Museum of Art, and is currently Senior Lecturer at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He can be found on social media @mangaberg. Amanda Kennell is an Assistant Teaching Professor of International Studies at North Carolina State University who researches Japanese culture and contemporary media. Her book, Alice in Japanese Wonderlands: Translation, Adaptation, Mediation, is forthcoming in 2023 from the University of Hawai'i Press. She consulted on the British Museum's exhibition on manga, and her work has appeared in the Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance, the Journal of Popular Culture, Film Criticism, and the Washington Post, among other publications.

Comic writer Mark Russell makes his return to BTR fresh from the Eisner Awards and breaks down his new upcoming projects, including his DC comic series, “Superman: Space Age!” Just a couple weeks ago at SDCC Mark won the, prestigious, Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication for his AWA book, “Not All Robots.” With several past nominations this is his first win and the Revenge crew couldn't be happier! Being the “low-level” psychics that we are… we can confidently say that this is just the first of many more to come. Congratulations Mark! There isn't a writer more deserving!Then we sink our claws into the “cold war” and discuss Mark's new Superman series “Superman: Space Age.” At the height of Soviet and American tensions, the interstellar refugee who crash landed in the American heartland finds his super human role in a world on the verge of catastrophe. With visuals from award winning artist, Mike and Laura Allred, this is the Superman book that perfectly bridges the world shaping history of that era with the impossibilities of the superhero genre. Check it!Interesting enough, during his first visit when given The Question, the answer was very similar with the Superman he's now writing. See folks, stick to your goals, manifest your destiny, create awesome things…. Immortality?Want more context for the “Cold War,” or just want to find a decent conduit for learning the history that shapes our very existence? Mark recommends you start with Hardcore History. Follow Mark on twitter at (@Manruss) and keep up with all his projects that are about to drop in this fall. Here's just a taste of what's to come:Be oh so fine as you go through life and show the stripes of our sweet designs.Have you experienced the elusive and majestic energy of the Blue Tiger?

This week, we're going back to “Back to the Present,” and by present we mean future, and by future we mean the far-flung year of 2015, when the world was/will be run by Sentinels and a dude obsessed with Rachel Summers, Moby Dick, and thigh-high boots. Joining us on this journey is returning guest Nola Pfau, fresh off an Eisner Award hat trick for her Editor-in-Chief-dom of Women Write About Comics! We wax poetic about women and circles, debate the mechanics of time travel vs interdimensional travel vs are they actually the same thing, and say we love comics a lot, because we do—including this one, a lot.

One of the things you hear over and over is that pechuga – the mezcal made (often) by adding raw chicken (or turkey or venison or name-your-protein) – is a special spirit made for celebrations. But then you see novelty pechugas, made with bacon or al pastor. So what's the truth about pechuga? It's a chicken-or-the-egg episode of Agave Road Trip!

His 111-consecutive-issue run on Ultimate Spider-Man with Mark Bagley holds the record for longest continuous writer/artist partnership in Marvel Comics history.Bendis was also the driving creative force behind Marvel's biggest events of the 21st century, including House of M, Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, Siege, Avengers vs. X-Men, Age of Ultron, X-Men: Battle of the Atom, and Civil War II. With his artistic collaborators, he's responsible for co-creating some of Marvel's most significant new characters of the last two decades, including Miles Morales, Jessica Jones, Maria Hill, Ronin, Riri "Ironheart" Williams, and Daisy "Quake" Johnson.That doesn't even include his creator-owned work, currently being published by Dark Horse Comics, which includes Joy Operations, Pearl, United States vs. Murder, Inc., Scarlet, Cover, Powers, and the Jinxworld line of crime comics (Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, and Torso).He's also writing some "detective comics" about a league of justice or superhero legion or something, but we weren't able to find any information about that.

I was introduced to Nick Sousanis' work through a Twitter connection, shout out to @AndrewJ, as I wanted to spend more time over the summer with what are broadly called graphic novels. Probably like many listeners, I had read comic books as they appeared in pop culture over the years, The Dark Tower adaptation, the Walking Dead, even “classic” graphic novels, I suppose, like Alan Moore's Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell. As a history major, I read the first book of Maus in college. but other than that I never really knew where to go from there. Now, just last month, I had a friend recommend Marjan Sahtrapi's Persepolis, a graphic memoir of her childhood before, during, and after the Iranian Revolution. I borrowed it from the library, read it in a single sitting, and was hooked. So I immediately put a call out on Twitter on where to go from there and got dozens of suggestions. I've spent the rest of the summer catching up on a number of graphic memoirs including the March Trilogy, The Best We Could Do, and Fun Home. Then came Nick Sousanis' Unflattening. Nick Sousanis is an Eisner-winning comics author and an associate professor of Humanities & Liberal Studies at San Francisco State University, where he runs a Comics Studies program. He received his doctorate in education at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2014, where he wrote and drew his dissertation entirely in comic book form. Titled Unflattening, it argues for the importance of visual thinking in teaching and learning, and was published by Harvard University Press in 2015. Unflattening received the 2016 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE Award) in Humanities, the Lynd-Ward Prize for best Graphic Novel of 2015, and was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Scholarly/Academic work. To date, Unflattening has been translated into French, Korean, Portuguese, Serbian, Polish, Italian, and Chinese.There is an irony here that we are going to attempt to discuss these very visually linked ideas in an audio podcast, but I will also provide links to the excerpts of Unflattening that are available on Nick's website.GUESTSDr. Nick Sousanis, Eisner-winning comics author and an associate professor of Humanities & Liberal Studies at San Francisco State UniversityRESOURCESNick Sousanis' WebsiteNick Sousanis' TwitterUnflatteningOn Graphic Scholarship: A Conversation with Nick Sousanis (The Comics Grid) Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
