Podcasts about elfquest the final quest

Friends, we've got a special episode for you today. Comic book icons Wendy Pini and Richard Pini join the podcast for the first time, and they hang out for a lengthy, deep dive conversation into Elfquest's origins. Their romance began in the letters column of Silver Surfer #5 (1968), materialized as the result of a clandestine cross-country road trip, and solidified through creative collaboration, which would also challenge their partnership. Elfquest is nearly fifty years old, but it's as vibrant and relevant as ever. These comics are waiting for anyone already caught up in the Romantasy BookTok discourse. It's a profoundly philosophical work, bashing against humanity's great worries, ready to absorb those anxieties and potentially process them toward action. However, as much as you'll find yourself in Elfquest, you'll discover Wendy and Richard Pini, too. Like the best stories, it's autobiography masked as fiction. As new readers ourselves, we can guarantee Elfquest's contemporary grip. Chief Cutter's journey from the forest to the desert and the greater world beyond found us just when our lives were thrown in upheval. So, it was more than a pleasure to chat with Wendy Pini and Richard Pini about their great comic book saga, how it came to be, and why they continue as its shepherds. Over the last few years, Dark Horse Comics has gathered Elfquest: The Original Quest into four beautiful hardcover collections. Recently, they also published Elfquest: The Final Quest in a glorious hardcover omnibus, and Elfquest: The Hidden Years will receive a massive Gallery Edition Hardcover in July.

Episode 250 is a special one, and it all kicks off with my recent interview with comics legend Neal Adams, who shares his thoughts on what Marvel and DC are doing right and what he thinks they could improve on. He talks about his recent work on Superman: The Coming of the Supermen, The CW’s Arrow, and what he has coming our way soon! You can keep up with him at his website at this link! Then everything wraps up when I bring back one of my favorite interviews, and that was with Wendy Pini from Elfquest! This first aired in Episode 125, but a few months after that, Wendy complimented me by saying online that this was one of her favorite interviews that happened when Elfquest: The Final Quest began.  We talked about many things Elfquest, including how she and Richard Pini make the magic happen, how profound the characters are, her use of computer graphics, and what else she had planned back when this chat first aired, much of which is still relevant today. Don’t miss it! Next week, we begin the next 250 episodes, and more! Support this show by signing up at http://patreon.com/MajorSpoilers

This week’s episode was recorded on October 2nd, 2016. Tia and Kate join Mike this week to talk all about comics–as usual. However, this week, the episode was focused on how both Tia and Kate got into comics and what it’s been like since they started reading. It’s a hoot and a holler and after the credits, there are some embarrassing convention stories (given NYCC coming up this week)!
