This stunning graphic novel by Shannon Messenger, is a retelling of the second half of the thrilling first novel. KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL PART 2, comes to life with all the adventure and epic worldbuilding the Keeper of the Lost Cities series is known for. After learning she's actually an elf, twelve-year-old Sophie Foster made the impossible decision to leave her human life—and family—behind and start over in the Lost Cities. And life with the elves has been unlike anything Sophie has ever known, filled with new friends, amazing creatures, and incredible powers. But it's also had its share of challenges. Sophie had been an advanced student in the human world—but thanks to her struggles with alchemy, she's not even sure if she will pass her Foxfire Academy midterms! And then there are the bigger worries. Guardians who may or may not adopt her. Whispers of conspiracies. Mysterious fires. Memories in her brain that don't feel like hers. Could someone have hidden those secrets in Sophie's head? Why would they do that? Is Sophie part of something much bigger than she imagined? Something…deadly?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

“The Planet That Doesn't Exist” is an 8-minute Animation film from Israel, based on the Graphic Novel by Navy Bird Revital Bronshtein. Navy Bird passed away at the age of 24 last year, caught in the midst of a terrorist attack. Her mother, Liora Bronshtein, brought a team of artists to make this film. You can watch the film here: https://youtu.be/2fKOtua6s1I?si=bvEzOPU1Afe2Sq0n Conversation with the director of the piece, Nadav Embon, on the making of the film. Synopsis: Professor Star l'Etoile set at her desk, her notes, were packed into spiral leather bound notebooks, stacked one atop of the other. They contained years and years of calculations, which sprung from her notebooks and rose up in a spiral, covering hundreds of desks and antique gold plated wooden boards, that covered the entire room. BIO: Nadav Embon is an Israeli director, animator, and multidisciplinary creator. His graduation film Talk About Samson screened at festivals in Japan, Russia, Romania, and Israel, and is taught in both academia and high schools as a tool for biblical studies. He later became Creative Director at Kan, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, and co-founded the global commemoration initiative Zikaron Basalon. Today he lectures at Bezalel Academy and Minshar College, leads a new digital content house at NMC United, and directs In Your Face, a portrait-drawing talk-show blending performance and illustration. His latest work is the animated short The Planet That Wasn't There, adapted from Navy Bird's graphic novel. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Goethes Faust – der Klassiker quält und begeistert Leserinnen und Theatergänger nun seit 217 Jahren. Man könnte meinen, dass über Faust in diesen zwei Jahrhunderten alles gesagt wurde. Vielleicht alles gesagt, aber noch nicht alles gezeigt und bebildert. Denn jetzt macht die Comiczeichnerin Nele Heaslip Faust Eins zu einer Graphic Novel. Es ist ein gewaltiges Projekt, dessen erster Band jetzt erscheint, passenderweise auch ganz klassisch gezeichnet mit Feder und Tusche, ohne Computertechnik also. Warum Faust, warum Faust heute und warum als Comic? Fragen, über die Max Bauer mit Nele Heaslip gesprochen hat.

You can find a video version of the full episode on our YouTube channel: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dvoGPZEY1g⁠ We've been on the road this week, recording some in-person episodes in Portland Oregon, with Ryan Coulter—co-founder of The James Brand, and the wonderfully hilarious graphic designer Aaron Draplin. We're excited to bring you this episodes soon, and in the meantime we're rewinding to one of our favorite episodes this year with Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner. You may have heard that we're publishing more video from our episodes, and you can now find a video version of this episode on YouTube. Enjoy! *** As a kid in the 80's, Eli fell in love with games on computers like the Apple II, Commodore 64, and later the Amiga and Macintosh. One of the very first games he played was called Karateka, which was inspiring for the realistic movements of its digital karate antagonists, even on a black-and-green Apple II monitor. Our guest today, Jordan Mechner, created Karateka while an undergrad at Yale University in 1984, and it went on to be a commercial success. He followed it up with the game Prince of Persia (you'll hear a clip from the soundtrack in the introduction, which Jordan's father composed and which Jordan invented a way to transpose onto the Apple II's tinny speakers before game soundtracks were widespread on the machine). Jordan documented the creation of the game in a wonderful published version of his diaries called The Making of Prince of Persia, and we spoke with him about how he taught himself the skills to build successful video games in a pre-internet era, why he journaled about his work process (and what it taught him), and about his new graphic novel Replay, a memoir recounting his own family story of war, exile and new beginnings.

Among his notable work are contributions to X-Men, Avengers, and Doctor Strange, where his art balances epic action with nuanced character moments. Fans of the show may know him as the artist on the current flagship title Uncanny X-Men although he was quite active during the end of the Krakoa era with pencils in Rise of the Power of X, Resurrection of Magneto, and of course the most recent Hellfire Gala. Luciano's passion for comics is matched by his keen insight into the characters' inner lives, making him a perfect guest to explore the personalities, quirks, and cosmic destinies of the X-Men.
