This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, Free Comic Book Day turns into a real collector debate.Hot Book of the Week: Dungeon Crawler Carl #0 - a FCBD giveaway that's already flipping online, with some fans upset that certain retailers were charging for a “free” book. We also talk about the animated adaptation in the works from Seth MacFarlane for Peacock, and the surprising crossover collectible angle with the Absolute Batman exclusive variant tied to the one-shot.Old Fart Rule: American Flagg! #1 (First Comics, 1986) - Howard Chaykin's indie dystopia that nailed media saturation, corporate control, and celebrity culture before those themes became mainstream comics staples.Underrated Books of the Week:D.R. & Quinch (2000 AD) - early Alan Moore chaos with art by Alan Davis, a cult classic that's still affordable.Marvel Spotlight #1 (1971) - Marvel's tryout series debut and a fascinating early-'70s experiment that remains approachable in raw, with wild high-grade upside.Plus: Show & Tell, new member shoutouts, and viewer mail.Become a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join
Our first Extra Point in a minute, Kris and Ian are here for a chill conversation about some recent events. This includes Kris' trip to the Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase a few weeks back, as well as this year's FCBD/Comics Giveaway Day. How did the first post-Diamond Free Comic Book Day compare to days of old, and what can comic shops do to make sure their event is inviting to customers? Kris also shares the overall vibe surrounding St. Marks Comics in Brooklyn and how they handled handing out free comics, while Ian attends FCBD at Collector Cave in The Bronx.

Show notes: This episode is our first "Explicit Content" warning for adult language usage. Normally I avoid dropping F-bombs or edit/bleep them out, but said, "Fudge it!" and left them in as is in my interview with "Feral" and "Stray Dogs" comic artist Tone Rodriguez out at 901 Comics East for his signing appearance for FCBD. Discussed the Image Comics books he's been working on with Tony Fleecs (pronounced "fleece"). Haven't seen Tone in 20yrs..! He's half the man he used to be, and I'm probably a good 40lbs lighter than then myself.In the news section I discuss this year's Free Comic Book Day in the Memphis area, plus other art/event news. I also did interviews with local artists That Katie Jones and Ryan Ladner at the Mid-South Cartoonists Association Monthly Dinner Gathering at Garibaldi's Pizza. Katie has an art show out at Playhouse on the Square this month, and Ryan is working on his "Memphis VS Zombies" comic series and will be at the upcoming Beale Street Monster Club's "Bigfoot On Beale" celebration upstairs at A. Schwab's. I'll have a table at the event, too.If you have any event or art project news you'd like me to share, or if you'd like to promote your podcast or Kickstarter campaign, email me at podcast(at)drawingfunny(dot)com. PDFs of your comics or zines can be emailed to me there or you can send a physical copy to the MSCA address below.My “Featured Creatures” art show reception will be on June 5, 2026 from 5-7pm in the 2nd Floor W gallery at Playhouse – 66 South Cooper St., Memphis, TN 38104. Another artist, Angi Cooper, is having a reception the same night/time downstairs. My art show runs from June 6-August 2, 2026 in conjunction with their production of “Sweeney Todd“. All art shows are free to attend during Playhouse's normal business hours. I'll have several scare-brushed Monsterpieces, some "Scared Silly" marker illustrations, and wood panel acrylic maker paintings on display and for sale. Whatever doesn't sell there I'll have at the Memphis Monster Market in October, and the Memphis Monster Con in November. Hope to scare ya there!LinLINKS:Drawing Funny Podcast website – www.drawingfunny.comDrawing Funny Podcast on Spotify – www.podcasters.spotify.com/Drawing Funny Podcast on Apple – www.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/drawing-funny/Lin Workman Art Site – www.linworkman.com/Mid-South Cartoonists Association/MSCA (Memphis, TN) – www.midsouthcartoonists.orgMonster Market – www.memphismonstermarket.com/Bigfoot On Beale – www.hoodoomuseum.org/Memphis Monster Con – https://sites.google.com/view/memphismonstercon/homewww.memphiscomicexpo.com/The Cellar Table Top Games & Comics (Bartlett, TN) – www.comiccellaronline.com/Comics & Collectibles (Memphis, TN) – www.memphiscomics.com/wps/Garibaldi's Pizza (U of M) – www.garibaldispizza.comFeatured Creatures – www.facebook.com/events/988801430392981Playhouse On The Square (Memphis, TN) – www.playhouseonthesquare.org/Tone Rodriguez Instagram – www.instagram.com/tonerodriguez2000/Tone Rodriguez Comics Credits – www.leagueofcomicgeeks.com/people/3848/tone-rodriguez/comicsThrill Comics – www.thrillcomics.com/That Katie Jones – https://linktr.ee/ThatKatieJonesMSCA Snail Mail:Drawing FunnyC/O MSCAP.O.

This week's spotlight interview is with Timmy Heague, co-writer of Lost Fantasy #9, and is especially revealing, not just because of the wild hooks (Nazi dinosaurs, bazooka swords, monster hunting), but because of the unique vantage point he brings as both a writer and a longtime comic shop owner. That dual perspective shapes everything, from how he thinks about audience expectations to how stories are built to connect on the shelf. This interview goes far beyond Lost Fantasy #9. Timmy Heague digs into his unlikely path from comic shop owner to working writer, how collaborations with Curt Pires and Franklin Jonas actually function behind the scenes, and why being on the retail front lines gives him a sharper read on what fans want than most creators. You'll also hear about the realities of breaking in, the push and pull of co-writing, and the mentors who helped shape his voice. It's part origin story, part industry insight, and a candid look at how comics really come together.

Dave: Black Cat #9 (Variant by Kris Anka) Chris: Iron Man #4 (Ryan Stegman-Frank Martin Main Cover) Interview: Timmy Heague on Lost Fantasy #9, mixing craft, collaboration, and story teases: You're stepping into Lost Fantasy #9 during a moment where Henry is already physically and emotionally battered. What interested you most about picking up his story at this breaking point? You're working with Eamon Winkle on the Bombshell story. What makes Bombshell a compelling lens into this world, and how does her story complement or contrast Henry's? You're co-writing this issue with Curt Pires and Franklin Jonas, while also contributing to a backup that ties into Fireborn. How did you all divide the storytelling responsibilities, and what did that collaboration look like on the page? You've recently come off co-writing Archie vs. Minor Threats with Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, which thrives on tonal contrast. Did that experience influence how you approach tone here, especially with the mix of action, sci-fi, and character work? The solicit teases Henry being pulled into a new case while still recovering. How do you balance forward momentum with giving weight to his injuries and trauma? The issue introduces the “Cyber-Ronin,” which is an instantly striking concept. What was the creative spark behind that character, and how does he challenge the world of hunters in a new way? Lost Fantasy blends genres in a big way, from cyberpunk elements to mythic hunting lore. When you're writing in that kind of sandbox, how do you keep the story grounded and emotionally clear? Fun one: if you had to drop Bombshell into another comic universe for a one-shot, where would you send them and why?
This week, we discuss end of year sales charts, Absolute dominance, Ultimate endings, Netflix/Paramount bidding war, Superman/Spider-Man creative teams, FCBD and CGD, a new comic sale record, Supergirl trailer, Disney going all in on AI, and Sal Buscema. Starring Ryan Higgins, Brock Sager, Kevin Sharp, and Lane Terasaki.
Layne and Jon are still reeling from last issue’s Metalhead reveal, but to be fair so are the Turtles. So it’s time to see what this new life is like in two issues that more or less happen simultaneously: IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 46 and the TMNT Free Comic Book Day issue, both from 2015!

May has a lineup of fun fandom holidays, and we are taking advantage of the fun this weekend. Producer KellieAnn is joined again by Jonathan Trujillo King of the Utah Arts Alliance, and new nerdly friend Roger Prows, co-owner of The Nerd Store(s).

Roger expands on the history of Free Comic Book Day, while Jonathan provides the details of Star Wars Day's impact. All three will be seen celebrating both holidays this weekend in downtown Salt Lake City (with the support and displays of our friends at FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention): The Urban Arts Gallery will have their local-artist-contributed Star Wars exhibit, Clark Planetarium will have some galactic photo opportunities with cosplayers, Dr. Volt’s Comic Connection will have comic giveaways and many local comic creators, our FanX Hall of Fame Cosplayer friends will have a cosplay competition, there will be a Star Wars Dance party by the Utah Arts Alliance and much more more! The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.
