In this Geek Freaks Headlines episode, Frank reacts to the surprising rewrite of DC's upcoming Clayface film. Originally brought in by horror maestro Mike Flanagan, the project now sees screenwriter Hossein Amini (Drive) taking the reins. Frank shares his disappointment, reflects on the character's potential, and explains why this shift in creative direction could be a missed opportunity. Plus, he highlights updates from the main Geek Freaks feed, including interviews with producer Caitlin Delaney and comic creator Aubrey Stinson on her new series Free Planet from Image Comics.Timestamps and Topics:00:00 First thoughts on the Clayface script rewrite00:21 The shift from Flanagan's horror vision00:37 James Watkins and Matt Reeves still onboard00:54 Why Clayface is a compelling character01:07 What's next on Geek Freaks: Thunderbolts, Caitlin Delaney, and Aubrey Stinson01:25 Free Planet comic shoutout and wrap-upKey Takeaways:Mike Flanagan's departure is a major creative loss for Clayface, as his horror background was a perfect fit.Hossein Amini is a skilled writer but may not deliver the horror tone fans were promised.The film is still in good hands with James Watkins (director) and Matt Reeves (producer).Clayface's best adaptations remain the 90s Batman: The Animated Series and Harley Quinn.The Clayface film is currently set for a September 11, 2026 release.New Geek Freaks episodes out now cover Thunderbolts and Image's new comic Free Planet.Quotes:“We wanted that horror movie.

With the Invincible animated series propelling more and more fans to the comic books, now is the perfect time for Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley to reteam on a new series. In a universe populated with numerous rich, wild characters, they could have revamped an infinite number of ideas. They chose Battle Beast, the white lion-like humanoid cursed with an unquenchable rage, and in doing so, Kirkmann and Ottley create an opportunity to reframe the character's original narrative. Battle Beast first appeared in Invincible #19 (2004) and did not return until Invincible #55 (2008). Between those comics is a massive swath of time, and the new series, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast, will explore it fully. The first issue arrives in comic shops next Wednesday. If it's any indication, when this series is over, it will radically alter our understanding of Battle Beast's narrative and its place within the larger Invincible storyline. This week, we trap Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley in our Zoom room. We examine how this first issue challenges our previous interpretation of the title character, the pain at Battle Beast's core, and the brilliant action that erupts from it. Having built a utopia on his homeworld through violent combat, Battle Beast seeks an end through a worthy opponent.

In this special bonus episode of Geek Freaks, Frank is joined by acclaimed comic book writer Aubrey Sitterson to explore the radical, sci-fi world of Free Planet, his new series from Image Comics. Known for his bold storytelling and politically rich narratives, Aubrey takes us deep into the philosophical core of Free Planet, unpacking its themes of revolution, freedom, and the cost of building a better world. With deep dives into the creative process, the influence of history and anthropology, and the collaboration with artist Jed Dougherty, this episode is packed with insight and fire. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Intro: Why this bonus episode matters 00:19 – Who is Aubrey Sitterson? Background and work 01:03 – The concept behind Free Planet 02:08 – Revolution, history, and political roots 04:30 – Defining real freedom and post-war challenges 07:53 – Layouts, spreads, and comic as object 09:46 – Balancing personal drama with large-scale politics 12:30 – Research-driven worldbuilding over aesthetics 18:06 – Interpersonal conflict as a reflection of ideology 22:34 – Creative process with Jed Dougherty 25:54 – Lettering innovations and character voice 28:01 – The unreliable narrator and historical context 34:11 – Print vs digital: Why Free Planet demands paper 43:01 – Final reflections and what's next Key Takeaways: Aubrey Sitterson uses Free Planet to challenge conventional ideas of freedom and revolution. The comic is deeply researched, pulling from real-world political and cultural movements. Free Planet is built as a print-first experience, with double-page spreads, maps, and dense visual storytelling. The creative team—Jed Dougherty, Taylor Esposito, and Vittorio Astone—elevate the book's layered vision. The book includes in-world historical commentary that questions neutrality and narrative control. Sitterson aims to create work that demands attention and resists passive reading. Quotes: “The only freedom worth having is the freedom you fight for.” – Aubrey Sitterson “We made Free Planet for people who want to sit with something and really think.” – Aubrey “Talon's fan reaction was so strong, I had to restructure the story just to give him more space.” – Aubrey “There's a difference between mimicking aesthetics and actually building something from the same roots.” – Aubrey Call to Action: Love these kinds of deep-dive interviews?

Todays episode is a special one as have David F. Walker Co-Creator of Bitter Root and Author of The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History as he brings his latest project to life on Kickstarter. An Homage to the Great Donald Goines with the Death of Bobby Hart. Donald Goines was a literary movement in a genre aptly known as Street Literature and unfortunately was killed in 1974. A cautionary tale of a writer who was completely unfiltered in his tellings of black life in the early 70's. David brings this to life with the help of Dietrich Smith, Chris Johnson, and Chris Sotomayor. We speak on a time when Blaxploitation grew in popularity in cinema but it wasn't always as reserved and served in Literature as well. David tells in this book in the portrayal as Bobby although widely popular and creating close 6-7 books in one year was also addicted to heroin and how this may have caught up with him. As with Bobby Hart, Donald Goines company who published his books was called the Holloway House and brought not only Goines, but Iceberg Slim, and a consistent open door to black writers.Later in the Pod, we talk about the continuation of his most popular work Bitter Root that after 15 issues or 16 if you count Red Summer Special brings the Gang back together in Chuck Brown and Sanford Greene to produce Bitter Root the Next Movement for Image Comics. To which then David speaks on Ownership and something that is constantly lacking at Marvel and DC and the realization to continue to publish creator owned franchise IP's that he chooses to do and how to move.The Death of Bobby Hart is now Live on KickstarterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

I've got a family history with moonshine. It started when I was a little kid riding around on my grandfather's tractor. He always had a half gallon Mayfield milk jug full of something or other he'd periodically take a swig from and, yes, more often than not the later on in the day it got, the more likely we were to end up in a ditch but that was all part of the fun of our time together. Later I learned he was a part of the illicit trade selling homebrew supplies out the back of his grocery store and was investigated by the AFT, the revenuers to us. We've got a locally famous peach brandy recipe made with a touch of molasses, ok maybe more than a touch. So, you couple that with the fact that I'm the Editor-In-Chief of Comic Book Yeti where we are all about those cryptids and it felt like a no brainer to reach out to the creative team of the new Image Comics series Moonshine Bigfoot. I wrangled industry vet Zach Howard and his protégé Clara Meath on with me to hear all about it. I've been trying to cover more comedy comics projects lately, and this is by far one of the best I've seen in some time. I adore this book. Where else is a bigfoot the normal guy as he navigates aliens, clandestine Illuminati, cryptid hunters, and drunken Smerfs hangining out in a bar with Fantasy Island's Tattoo. You read that right. Make sure to snag yourself a copy of this southern fried gem of a book. Zach Howard's website Clara Meath's website Moonshine Bigfoot From the publisher Buzzard County, 1981—Moonshine Bigfoot spends his days making a living while outwitting clueless cops, reckless rivals, and buffoonish Bigfoot Hunters. All is hunky-dory until he draws the attention of an Illuminati-esque cabal. With his partner in life and crime, Amethyst, our hairy hero is about to learn that some problems can't be handled just by jumping them in a souped-up Mach 1.

In this episode of Geek Freaks Interview, I'm joined by comic creator Kyle Higgins, the visionary behind Radiant Black and the ever-expanding Massive-Verse. Kyle dives into how he built a creator-owned superhero universe at Image Comics and walks us through the evolution of Radiant Black, the challenges of dual timelines in Catalyst War, and the collaborative process behind Rogue Sun, The Dead Lucky, and Inferno Girl Red. We also talk about the audio book, animated promos, and his thoughts on live-action vs. animation adaptations. Whether you're new to the Massive-Verse or a longtime fan, this conversation is a deep look into one of comics' most ambitious storytelling worlds. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and welcome to Kyle Higgins 00:26 What is the Massive-Verse? 01:16 Radiant Black and its millennial superhero tone 03:34 The structure and accessibility of the Massive-Verse 05:07 Audiobook updates and voice talent reveals 06:59 Animated promos and creative marketing 08:03 The origin of Radiant Black and its influences 11:14 How Power Rangers and Toku storytelling shaped the series 14:15 Managing canon and creative direction in a multi-title universe 15:50 Writing dual timelines for Catalyst War 19:14 How the fan vote shaped the story's direction 24:06 The "Rebuild Era" and aftermath world-building 27:33 Proliferation of 001 tech and rising threats 30:19 Rogue Sun's new direction and layered family dynamics 33:37 Appreciation for the design and narrative tone of Rogue Sun 34:10 Live-action vs. animation: which is best for Radiant Black? 36:44 Navigating rights, control, and studio offers 40:28 Where to find the comics and meetups with the team Key Takeaways: The Massive-Verse is a creator-owned, shared superhero universe with interconnected titles that can also stand alone. Radiant Black explores modern adulthood and friendship through a fresh superhero lens, inspired by Power Rangers and 90s nostalgia. The dual timeline storytelling in Catalyst War was one of the hardest yet most rewarding challenges of Kyle's career. The team is exploring creative and immersive ways to promote the comics, including animated promos and an audiobook with a star-studded voice cast. Live-action adaptations are possible, but only if the creators are in full control of the production. The new "Rebuild Era" reflects the consequences of superhero battles and explores what comes after the big events—something rarely addressed in comics. Rogue Sun is shifting its spotlight with a new lead character, deepening its themes of family and legacy. Quotes: “I want this to be a superhero book that celebrates being a fan of superheroes.” – Kyle Higgins “You're either a Nathan or a Marshall... and you have a friend that's the other one.” – Frank “Animation's great. But if we're doing an adaptation, we want full control. No compromises.” – Kyle Higgins Call to Action: Enjoyed the episode?

If you listen to comic book podcasts beyond Comic Book Couples Counseling, you've probably already encountered Aubrey Sitterson. The writer has been making the rounds, discussing his radical new science fiction series Free Planet, made in collaboration with artist Jed Dougherty, colorist Vittorio Astone, letterer Taylor Esposito, and designer Mark Kaufman. Sitterson LOVES comics, and he LOVES talking about comics. He's spent years percolating in the medium, absorbing the code of how to make the best comics in the best way possible for his particular talents. Aubrey Sitterson has developed something he calls "The Approach." It's a new method of storytelling discovered during the making of other such comics as The Worst Dudes, No One Left to Fight, and Savage Hearts. Sitterson is not just design-focused; he's design-obsessed, and it was a delight to chat with him about this intensely, carefully sharpened obsession. We're in the weeds this week. We wanted to double down on a comics-making meal, possibly inspired by the last episode's heavy process conversation with Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm about Spectrum #4. Aubrey Sitterson appears reinvigorated by Free Planet, and his enthusiasm for the craft is infectious and should encourage your leap into storytelling. Final Order Cutoff for Free Planet #1 is Monday, April 14th (That's Today!), and Image Comics will finally drop the first issue in shops on May 7th. It's not a title you want to sleep on. Everyone involved is going for it, swinging for the fences. You can view the Preview Pages here, which are overwhelming in the best way possible. Follow Aubrey Sitterson on Bluesky, Instagram, Substack, and his Website. We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers.

If you're not reading Juni Ba comics, you're missing out on a living legend pushing the form to its extreme potential. Since Djeliya, we haven't missed a panel from the cartoonist, and we've watched him develop into an undeniable talent, producing one essential comic after another. Just when we think he can't possibly top himself (seriously, did you read Mobilis: My Life with Captain Nemo and The Boy Wonder?), he drops Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch, his sequel to the Image Comics anthology series. It's a radical, rageful commentary on the world we're all trapped on, but it contains profound joy through its creation. THIS. IS. COMICS. Today's podcast is a thorough conversation with Juni Ba about Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch. Why did he adopt a new aesthetic for this series? Is it too hopeless to be considered dystopian? What does Britney Spears have to do with Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch? We dig in and chow down. The first issue of Monkey Meat: The Summer Batch is now available wherever rad comics are sold. The second issue will arrive on April 2nd. We're begging you not to let this series, destined for legendary status, slip through your fingers. Be sure to continue this conversation with Juni Ba by visiting his Instagram, Bluesky, and Twitter. This week's episode is sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers. Get a print subscription at your door every week - and the first issue is free! Or subscribe digitally, get free back issues, and download DRM-free copies of each issue for just $9 a month. That's 128 pages of incredible monthly comics for less than $10. We're also sponsored by the Beyond the Cape Podcast. If you enjoy Comic Book Couples Counseling, you'd undoubtedly enjoy their show. Beyond the Cape is a laid-back talk show in which every episode highlights their love of this beautiful comic book medium, their personal journey with it, and the respective artists they feature on each podcast.
