Podcast appearances and mentions of Gene Ha

Welcome to Episode 27 of Best Issue Ever! This round, we're chatting with returning champion K-Ming Chang. I love K-Ming's books! They're really incredible, and I highly recommend you check them out. I think Organ Meats is my favorite, but you really can't go wrong. Also, she has a very informative website where you can follow her work. K-Ming has brought us Wonder Woman Historia, a conversation foreshadowed in her previous appearance on the show discussing Fruits Basket in Episode 4. I love this comic! It's written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with lettering by Clayton Cowles, and art by Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha, and Nicola Scott, and colors by Hi-Fi, Arif Prianto, Romulo Fajardo Jr., Wesley Wong, and Annette Kwok. This podcast is recorded in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is edited by Sara Century. The theme music is provided by Earth Control Pill, whose work is on Bandcamp. I do not want to deal with ads AT ALL, so if you also don't want to deal with ads, please consider supporting the podcast by rating and reviewing and/or signing up at the Ko-fi or Patreon @ ko-fi.com/saracentury. or patreon.com/saracentury.

It's only been about 10 years since we read the first 5 issues of Alan Moore and Gene Ha's Top Ten, but now we're finishing the full first season with issues 6 through 12.  As the precinct deals with criminals on multiple fronts, there's one question on everyone's lips: What's Sergeant Dog Cop up to? Then we move onto Thunderbolts #17, which had a sword fight, an exploding castle, and a dude who can control gravity. Next Time - Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek & Stuart Immonen

When it comes to origins in comics it can be difficult to break new ground. However, Kelly Sue DeConnick found a way to bring a new vision to life for the world of Wonder Women. Wonder Women Historia explains how the Amazons were created, how Hippolyta: Diana's mother rose to power and the founding of island of Themyscira. DeConnick also teams up with 3 artists that bring her unique vision to each issue of this graphic novel featuring Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha, and Nicola Scott. This was also published from DC Comics: Black Label line. From the robust mythology of the Greek Gods to Hippolyta fighting of behalf of herself and her tribe of Amazons this epic story stands up shares the struggles of how they fought for their survival and justice for their people. We recommend this story for fans of Wonder Women, Greek Mythology and imaginative art styles that shows this larger than life world.

Picking up where a previous Gaming Hut left off, beloved Patreon backer Gene Ha asks about scenarios where one of the PCs is a mole working against the rest of the group.

An artist of the highest caliber, Zander Cannon broke into comics on The Tick spinoff, The Chainsaw Vigilante, and never looked back! He struck out on his own with The Replacement God series, then teamed up with Alan Moore and Gene Ha for Top 10, under Moore's America's Best Comics imprint. After the Top 10 spinoff Smax, Zander started a long-time partnership with Kevin Cannon (no relation) on creative and commercial endeavors. Then there was his own graphic novel Heck, followed by his hugely successful series Kaijumax! Sounds like he has a bright future in this industry. You can follow Zander on all the socials @zandercannon (@zander_cannon on X). * Apologies for technical issues with Mike's mic during the episode.

Este año no iba a ser menos y tenemos nuestro monográfico dedicado a una de las obras del bardo barbudo de Northampton y es que además tenemos ya casi encima el vigesimoquinto aniversario de America’s Best Comics (ABC para los amigos), la línea donde al borde del cambio de siglo Alan Moore lanzaba un montón de propuestas, de entre las cuales rescatamos una para nuestro monográfico de este mes. Nos vamos de viaje a Neópolis, la ciudad donde se encuentra la comisaría del décimo distrito, también llamada Top 10. De la mano de Alan Moore, Gene Ha y Zander Cannon nos daremos una vuelta por esas calles donde desde el taxista hasta el vendedor de perritos calientes es un superhéroe, con sus superpoderes y su supertraje. Bienvenidos a esta serie repletísima de guiños, humor y todos los ingredientes de un procedimental policíaco pasado de vueltas. A todas las unidades, denle al play. Repito: denle al play. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad.

Coming in hot with one of the best signatures in comics, it's jovial Gene Ha! Gene's been killing it in the comics biz for nearly 30 years, starting with DC and Malibu gigs in the early 90s. He hit the big time with The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix and its sequel Askani'son, which told the stories of Cable's childhood in the future. Gene may be best known for his heavily detailed panels in Alan Moore's Top 10 from Wildstorm's America's Best Comics imprint. Another high point is his creator-owned series Mae, which was initially funded through Kickstarter but has been published by Dark Horse subsequently. Most recently, you can check out his lush illustrations for Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons Vol 2 with Kelly Sue Deconnick and covers for The Wrong Earth from Ahoy Comics.You can follow Gene on his website, geneha.com, or by searching for his name on all the socials._____________________________________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

NRC Reviews Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1 by Kelly Sue Deconnick & Phil Jimenez The wait is over, and the entire story of the Amazons can finally be told! Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things…but their existence could not stay secret for long. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons' path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven—and the creation of the Earth's greatest guardian! Legendary talents Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez unleash a reading experience the likes of which you've never seen, with unbelievably sumptuous art and a story that will haunt you—with subsequent issues featuring art by modern masters Gene Ha and Nicola Scott! One of the most unforgettable DC tales of all time begins here!

The Dynamic Doctoral Duo is back for another action-packed episode promising thrills and chills! This time, Gwen and Derek begin by discussing Brecht Evens's  Panther (Drawn and Quarterly), a book that gives a first impression of innocence but then becomes darker and increasingly disturbing as the story develops. Gwen is a scholar of children's literature, and she points out that Evens follows many of the tropes found in picture books, and his style -- what you'd find in his earlier works, The Wrong Place and The Making Of -- may even lead readers to see this as one. But she argues that Panther is anything but a text for younger readers. Evens's penchant for watercolor and his borderless panel style make this a most sophisticated narrative, one with no easy answers and ending in ambiguity. Next, Derek and Gwen transition into yet another portal narrative, Gene Ha's Mae #1 (Dark Horse Comics). In this new creator-owned series, which began last year as a Kickstarter, the titular character's older sister, Abbie, has discovered a way into another world and often absents herself from her family. But Abbie's fantastical getaway begins to insert itself into the mundane world, initiating events that are sure to carry the  homebody Mae into unexpected adventures. This is Ha's first attempt at both writing and illustrating in a longer narrative form, and it's a series that both cohosts plan on returning to in the months to come. Finally, the two wrap up by doing something that has not yet been done on The Comics Alternative: reviewing a Walking Dead title. As much as Derek enjoys the popular comic-book series and the TV show, they've just never had the opportunity to discuss a beginning point or something standalone from Kirkman and Allard's franchise. But this time, they have: Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin's one-shot, The Walking Dead: The Alien. This is available on the creators' Panel Syndicate website, and as with the other titles you'll find there -- e.g., The Private Eye and Barrier -- this is a pay-what-you-want comic. Gwen does not have much history with The Walking Dead, and she's not a fan of zombie narratives, so she brings a unique perspective to the discussion...and likes what she reads. And as Derek points out, this is a title that will resonate with avid Walking Dead fans and at the same time can hold up outside of any larger narrative context. As if we needed any addition reason to love the creative team of Vaughan and Martin.
