Tony talks about the Feral world tour road trip, playing with zombie tropes, the magic that makes Uncanny Valley work, and pitching story ideas for The Thing. Plus Tony digs into the notion that maybe drawing all those wonderful My Little Pony comics left him with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

The saga sees Ben Grimm step away from the Fantastic Four to take down a criminal conspiracy with mysterious ties to his childhood on Yancy Street, fighting his way to the top as a one-man clobberin' machine! But when the big bad puts out a hefty hit on him, he'll have to battle a who's who of classic Marvel villains from Bullseye to the unstoppable Juggernaut!

Horror is one of my favorite genres and I've often heard horror creators on the show talk about avoiding a modern setting in their work. How do you deal with technology, cell phones, and social media? It's way easier to just drop it in the nostalgia of the 80s before much of that happened and we've seen an explosion of popular IPs set in the era of Pac Man and MTV, but what if you had a horror story with a social media influencer as the protagonist putting their experience front and center in front of a live worldwide audience? That's the hook of the new five issue mini-series Dark Pyramid from Mad Cave Studios and I'm lucky enough to have co-creators Eisner Winning comics writer Paul Tobin and his extraordinary artist accomplice PJ Holden to tell us all about it on today's episode. Truthfully, prior to my interest in this book, I didn't know all that much about the Dark Pyramid in Alaska. Conspiracy theorist I am not, but it does make for an interesting backdrop to this folk horror take in rural Alaska. We get into how the myth inspired some of the book's elements, how using a protagonist who is documenting their life live works in a horror story, and PJ tells us all about his experience starting improv. Dark Pyramid hits shelves on March 12th. Paul's website: https://www.paultobin.net PJ's website: https://www.pauljholden.com From the publisher Hooky Hidalgo, adventurist and popular live streamer, has gone missing while climbing Mt. Denali in Alaska! When his girlfriend, Becca, arrives at the base of the mountain to retrace his steps, she soon discovers something beyond the dreamy and impressive landscape. There's a conspiracy deep within the heart of Denali itself—a dark pyramid, silent, waiting. Becca—and the scores of Hooky fans determined to either find him or find some fun—will face death, avalanches….and monsters to find the truth. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

Bouncer union unit! To the best of my knowledge, this is the second time we've hosted a former bouncer on the show. It's not something I normally get to discuss and definitely the first time I've ever gotten to ask the question, "What was your Marvel bouncer personality?" But this isn't a podcast about bouncing, it's actually all about one of my favorite graphic novels of 2024, it's just that bouncing actually can be applied to the book. That book is Medusa from Dark Horse Comics created by writer/illustrator Tony Parker who is today's show guest. If you aren't yet familiar with the project, it's one of the most creative reimaginings of Greek mythology I've ever seen. Show topics include the unique character designs of a silent protagonist, collaborating with colorist extraordinaire Tamra Bonvillain, and the use of pacing and kinesics in storytelling which is something I've been increasingly mindful of in the medium. From the publisher Everything you know about Medusa is a lie. Forever cursed to be remembered as a monster, this ageless yet very mortal hero has spent millennia saving humanity from the horrors of legend. But now, today, in Scotland, she has met a foe that makes even the gods hide in fear. Armed with unwavering resolve, will the mighty Medusa be able to save mankind one last time?

When Dynamite solicited the return of The Herculoids into the comics medium, I was immediately concerned. Oh no, who's writing it? It is such a beloved childhood property of mine. Who could do it justice? Then my fears were allayed when saw Tom Sniegoski was at the reins. Given his background working on other major properties like Hellboy and Vampirella with their own distinct and important legacies, I knew he'd be the perfect fit. I'd been meaning to catch up with Tom for quite some time now so this was the perfect opportunity to get him back on the show to dive into what turns out is a shared love of this weird old Hanna Barbera cartoon property. In the episode, Tom shares his childhood connection to it, the challenges of translating all these non-speaking creatures front and center in comic book form, and the collaboration process with artist Craig Rousseau to interpret the original designs of Alex Toth. We also carve out some time to hear about his other projects and how comics can engage new young readers, something I always seem to be bringing up lately. The Herculoids hits shelves this February. Make sure to call your shop and reserve a copy. That Mignola cover will move fast y'all. From the publisher Building on the success of the critically acclaimed and bestselling Space Ghost series, Dynamite Entertainment is proud to bring another beloved Hanna-Barbera classic to readers this February - The Herculoids! Hidden in the furthest reaches of space, the planet of Amzot is legendary for its fabled riches - and for the terrible fates that befall anybody who seeks to exploit them... Those who survive their encounters tell blood-chilling tales of horrific, imposing monsters that guard the mysterious world - yet the lure of its abundant resources is too great to resist. Raiders and pirates continue to come from across the galaxy, and there is only one force strong enough to stop their constant attacks - The Herculoids! But as strong as these defenders are, a recent battle may have pushed Amzot to its limits - and awakened a sleeping darkness within the planet itself! Written by TOM SNIEGOSKI (Vampirella, Hellboy) and drawn by CRAIG ROUSSEAU (Batman Beyond, Gotham Adventures), The Herculoids #1 features a wealth of covers from some of the galaxy's most talented artists, including FRANCESCO MATTINA, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, BJORN BARENDS, FELIPE MASSAFERA, and the legendary creator of Hellboy, MIKE MIGNOLA!

It feels like this interview has been a long time coming. Anyone that has been following the Comic Book Yeti crew the past few years knows that Jimmy always tries to shine a light on letterers, so finally letterer and writer Joe Caramagna joins Jimmy to talk a little about his career in comics. Joe and Jimmy also talk about Joe teaming up with astronaut Leland Melvin to write Space Chasers, a middle-grade graphic novel about Tia Valor and a diverse ensemble of kids training to launch to an advanced space station. Listeners might remember Leland Melvin as the astronaut who included his dogs in his NASA photo. Joe talks about collaborating with Leland Melvin on the series (this is the first volume), what Joe learned while working on the series, the things that were important to Joe to include, why he would never want to travel to space, and how his daughter wants to be an astronaut. Plus since Jimmy knows Joe loves donuts he invites Joe to Delaware to treat him to Sleeping Bird Doughnuts.   From the publisher:  When Tia Valor takes a test on a whim for an exclusive NASA program for middle schoolers, she never thought she'd pass. After all, she never really fit in at school. In fact, she's been skipping school most days to work at her brother's auto shop instead. But Leland Melvin, a famed astronaut, sees potential in Tia, and before she knows it, she's part of a team of other talented kids training to launch to an advanced space station orbiting the earth. But the perils of space are unpredictable and Tia finds herself with only half her crew and no adults around to help. Now she must rely on her instincts and the quick thinking of her fellow kid astronauts to save the space station and their lives! Created by real-life astronaut Leland Melvin, Eisner-Award nominated comic creator Joe Caramagna, and brought to brilliant life by Alison Acton, Space Chasers is a space adventure like no other.

It's 150 pages of unconventional black & white art created by Ian's father over decades that has been put together by Ian and designed by Jeremy Heiman. Ian's father passed away in 2020, but he left behind decades of illustrations. Ian shares stories about his father, their relationship, and what his father taught him about being creative. This is a wonderful conversation that covers comics, art, movies, and, of course, dads.  The Mongoose campaign will be live on Kickstarter until January 27th.

After losing my father to MS in March of 2020, I began scanning his decades of artwork to preserve it at my mother's request. That snowballed into the book we've already compiled, designed, and test-printed. Bringing it into existence was a victory in itself, but we'd like to see if we can share his talent with a larger audience, hence the upcoming campaign.  Check out Ian's website here: https://ianmondrick.com/ Follow Ian on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/ianface.bsky.social PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

They have been busy expanding the scope of their IP and developing a TTRPG as well as an audio drama based upon the world created in the comic. Pretty amazing right? We touch on the principle theme of failure which drives the characters in the story, especially the main protagonist Dani, and how an open mind towards collaboration has opened doors to new possibilities for their world. Amit discusses his philosophy with embracing failure as a learning tooland how it can be applied to all creative endeavors. And, we carve out some time to discuss one of my favorite topics, the built in challenges navigating the direct market environment and how implementing innovative strategies can help to build a multimedia franchise that sustains an IP. Make sure to sign up for Amit's newsletter MINDSPLATTER, and definitely check out his blog. Here's the link for the pufferfish analogy we discuss in the show. Download the digital basic set of the game here. This 42-page digital basic set includes a fully playable game, character creation essentials, and (of course) over 40 gore-drenched Grievous Wounds.  The Last Wardens trade paperback will be released on March 12th With an alcoholic father and a hole in her wallet, Danielle Pryer's life in the rustic town of Bleakwood goes from bad to worse when her long-lost brother, Bruce, returns from the Vietnam War. While Bruce is being plagued by a mysterious and monstrous mutation, he is also being hunted by an incompetent team of paranormal misfits, which leads to Bleakwood quickly becoming ground zero of a supernatural battle that forces Danielle to choose between everything she holds dear and the fate of the world as a whole.
