With social media splintering and websites chasing clicks, navigating the comic book industry has never been more challenging. Tiffany Babb and The Comics Staple are here to help, hopefully. If you have any interest in comics criticism, you're probably already aware of who Babb is and what fight she's fighting. Her latest project is a monthly black-and-white zine designed to be a tool for readers entering their local comic shop. Her roster of tastemakers will guide you through what's hot, what's not, and break beyond the publicity machine. You have less than a week to back The Comics Staple on Kickstarter. It's already reached well beyond its goal. This beauty is happening, and we can't wait to get our hands on the first issue in September. As we're attempting to balance our lives between the online space and “the meat space,” endeavors like The Comics Staple seem poised to help. It's always a pleasure to have Tiffany Babb on the podcast. This week, we discuss why she added The Comics Staple to her workload, how she assembled her creative team, why the physical media movement is gaining steam with younger generations, and who will benefit from a twelve-page comic book guide. Find The Comics Courier Kickstarter here. Continue the conversation with Tiffany Babb by following her on BlueSky, Instagram, and her Website.

(Valid through June 14th) On Today's Show: Your comic is gaining traction — but now readers want answers faster than you can tell the story. Brad and Dave explain why that's actually a great sign — and how to turn audience curiosity into a powerful engine that keeps readers hooked instead of overwhelming your narrative. PLUS — CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE KELLETT FOR HIS HUGO AWARD NOMINATION! TOPICS Dave Kellett has been nominated for a Hugo Award How much to share with an eager audience ComicLab Confab (609) DRY-ELB-0 Update: USPS fuel surcharge will *not* affect Media Mail prices New tariff worries NCS conference and Reuben Awards Aug. 6-8, Columbus, Ohio Different ways to present a scene A listener question leads into the episode's central topic: what to do when a new project suddenly starts attracting attention and readers begin asking lore questions faster than the story can answer them. Brad and Dave frame this as the best possible problem for a storyteller to have — not a crisis, but proof that the story is working. Their advice is to resist the urge to dump exposition too early, and instead use reader curiosity as fuel to keep them engaged and coming back for more. Another listener question asks how to make necessary exposition more entertaining in a history comic, and the hosts widen that into a general storytelling discussion. They explore how to handle “problem panels” — moments where important information must be conveyed, but the raw facts feel static or dull. Their answer is that exposition does not need to be delivered plainly: creators can change the point of view, alter the tone, insert found documents, frame facts through action, or even break into totally different storytelling modes if it makes the comic more engaging. The episode also includes a couple of business updates for cartoonists. Brad shares good news about USPS fuel surcharges not applying to Media Mail, which matters for creators shipping books, while Dave warns that new tariffs may affect imported book shipments and advises cartoonists to build more buffer into Kickstarter budgets for 2026. It's a practical reminder that making comics also means staying alert to the changing realities of fulfillment and production costs.

What happens when one of the greatest stories ever told is reimagined through indie comics?Bruno Catarino returns to the USDN Podcast to discuss Space Odyssey, a sci-fi reinterpretation of The Odyssey that transforms myth into a galaxy-spanning journey. From redefining gods as modern systems of power to exploring the unknown depths of space, this conversation dives deep into storytelling, worldbuilding, and the evolution of mythology.We also discuss Bruno's live Kickstarter campaign Family and Honour, along with insights into indie publishing and building momentum for successful launches.

* Listen on Spotify* Listen on Apple* Listen on Youtube* Listen on Pocketcasts* Book Launch checklist: https://BookHip.com/BDSWRRT* Millionaire Author Mastermind Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/millionaireauthormastermind/* http://hapitalist.com/* https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leesavino/sold-to-the-berserkers* In this episode of The Six Figure Author Experiment, Russell and Lee dive deep into the art and business of adapting a novel into a comic, using Lee's Sold to the Berserkers as a case study. What starts as a conversation about a spicy, emotionally charged romance quickly evolves into a masterclass on translation between mediums, visual storytelling, and creative strategy.Russell breaks down one of the most important concepts in comics: the “gutter”. The space between panels where the reader's brain fills in the action, effectively turning still images into a movie. This becomes the central lens for the entire discussion. Adapting a book is not about copying scenes. It's about choosing the keyframes that allow the audience to imagine everything else.Lee reflects on the emotional core of her original work, particularly how romance functions as emotional catharsis and psychological processing, especially for readers navigating fear, vulnerability, and desire. The conversation expands into why romance is often misunderstood, despite being one of the most emotionally impactful genres.On the business side, the episode offers a surprisingly tactical breakdown of how authors can approach comics as a multi-format asset strategy. From Kickstarter campaigns to special edition illustrated books, art prints, and multiple cover variants, Russell outlines how one creative project can be leveraged across multiple products to maximize return on investment.The result is both philosophical and practical: a reminder that adapting your work isn't about preservation. It's about reinvention, understanding what each medium does best, and building a creative ecosystem where your story can thrive in multiple forms.Topics Covered:* The origin of Sold to the Berserkers and its rapid, emotionally driven creation* Why romance readers crave catharsis: transforming fear into emotionally satisfying outcomes* The role of “non-con reluctance fantasy” and why it resonates with certain audiences* Adapting older work for modern audiences and shifting cultural contexts* The challenge of translating internal, emotional prose into visual storytelling* Why some scenes work in books but fail visually in comics* The importance of tone adjustment and softening elements for new mediums* Understanding audience differences between romance readers and comic fans* The concept of the “gutter” in comics and why it's the key to storytelling* How comics rely on readers to mentally fill in action between panels* Keyframes vs. exposition: choosing the right moments to depict visually* Why comics are about triggering imagination, not showing everything* Common mistakes authors make when adapting books into comics* Why comics and novels require fundamentally different storytelling approaches* The limitations of comics: less space for interiority and deep philosophical dialogue* The strengths of comics: action, visuals, symbolism, and emotional immediacy* Why adaptation should be treated as a new creative work, not a direct translation* Examples of adapting comics back into novels and expanding interiority* The importance of understanding what each medium does best* Recommendation: Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud as a foundational resource* Emotional storytelling vs. informational storytelling and why emotion drives engagement* Romance as “emotional labor processing” and its cultural undervaluation* How stories help process fear, anger, and emotional complexity* Why readers must “slow down” when reading comics compared to prose* The interplay between words and images in effective comic storytelling* Practical structure: typical comic length (20–32 pages) and panel breakdowns* The concept of splash pages and how they impact pacing and visual storytelling* Building a multi-product strategy: comic + illustrated book + art prints* Reusing art across formats to maximize ROI* Cover strategies: multiple variants, NSFW vs SFW versions, premium editions* Budget realities: comic production costs and working with artists* Using Kickstarter to fund comic projects and validate demand* Leveraging communities and networks to find collaborators* The importance of “who you know” in creative production pipelines* Creating special edition books with integrated illustrations* Stretch goals and expanding visual content post-launch* Using one creative project to generate multiple income streams* Final takeaway: don't translate your book—reimagine it for the medium you're in This is a public episode.

this episode, we dive into a packed lineup! We break down Motorola's surprising alignment with GrapheneOS and what that means for privacy-focused Android users, alongside a quick explainer of the OS itself. From there, we look at VitaLink's ambitious foldable device, cramming a 13-inch screen and keyboard into a single slab at a surprisingly low Kickstarter price, and Audio-Technica's eye-watering £1,700 AT-LPA2 turntable aimed squarely at audiophiles. We also explore Waveshare's £150 handheld Linux machine that challenges the need for a traditional laptop, before shifting gears to Google's crackdown on "back button hijacking" tactics used by some websites. Finally, we unpack the controversy around claims that Microsoft and LinkedIn have been "illegally searching" users' computers, and what it could mean for trust in big tech.

This Ashes of Creation disaster just got even uglier -- the failed MMO's founder and ex-CEO Steven Sharif is accused in a leaked ledger of blowing over $40,000 of that $3.2 million Kickstarter haul on Magic the Gathering cards plus a $21,000 personal chef who only cooked for him and his husband at their mansion while the studio burned through cash on DoorDash, antiques, and Amazon sprees before laying off the entire team and killing the game. Yeah the guy who hyped "no greedy corporate overlords" allegedly treated backer money like his own wallet until investors dragged him to court -- classic crowdfunded MMO clownery where the dream dies but the TCG collection lives on.

In this episode of Focus Check, host Johnnie sits down with Marko Pirc, founder of LIT Systems and the creator of the LIT DUO 1 light meter. It is a rare, candid conversation about what it really takes to build a professional hardware product from scratch in Europe: the failures, the crowdfunding mechanics, the supply chain reality, and the product decisions that led to one of the most distinctive instruments the cinema lighting world has seen in years.

Our hosts return to the Podcave and take their assigned seats at Bruce Wayne's wedding as they settle in to watch “Chemistry.” Alex and Will break down Poison Ivy's latest scheme, comparing it to “House & Garden,” and pitch their own improved version with a stronger environmental twist.They also notice Bruce moves way too fast when he's in love and asks estranged co-worker Lucius Fox to be his best man over an obvious candidate like his ward or father figure. Things also get weird as a portrait of a distant Wayne relative surfaces, Bruce discovers he's into Hentai, and Alfred has to put together a last-minute wedding for Bruce "Bridezilla" Wayne.

Comics legend Jim Starlin returns to talk about the latest chapter in his ongoing Dreadstar revival — Dreadstar vs. Dreadstar, the newest original graphic novel in a series he's been building through Kickstarter since his triumphant return to the character in 2021. The conversation covers the full arc of Dreadstar's history — from its origins as the first title ever published under Marvel's Epic imprint, through its run at First Comics and brief Malibu revival, to the decision to bypass the big publishers entirely and build a new audience directly through crowdfunding. Jim talks about what it's like to have creative ownership over Vanth Dreadstar in a way he never quite had with Thanos, why the Kickstarter model has given him a freedom he never expected at this stage of his career, and what he still has left to say with a character he's had mapped out for at least five more graphic novels. You only have a few days left to back Dreadstar vs. Dreadstar here: http://kck.st/3Nn0EJM! You can follow Jim on Instagram @jimstarlin or Facebook @JimStarlinfanpage.

The Agents start to work out ways to deal with the problems in Nagalisitu. However, they get word that a robbery has taken place at the university, and the implications need to be dealt with now. Thus they set out once again into the jungles outside the city...This campaign will touch on many themes, including genocide, slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, mental health issues, familial trauma, parental trauma, and thoughts of suicide, among others. Listener discretion is advised.Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu has not been released as of posting. We are using a Kickstarter backer version of those rules.Genepals are references from Kyle Carty's Starstreamers from BPB Games.Adam - GMDan - Roscoe Holst - The human pilot of the Hypatia, and descendant of the... legendary? line of Holst, a family that always seems to be near when galactic history changes.Ethan - Silent Reading - A Murnau spy, perhaps the person most suited to the work of the Library. Whereas his twin brother Cheerful Humming is much more of an open book, Silent Reading keeps to himself, trusting few...Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.Jared - Captain Kai Uhila - The human captain of the Hypatia. Kai is a bard as is the nature of those who helm the ships that travel the galaxy. A bit of a drunk, a bit of a lech, a bit of a loose cannon, but someone with a strong sense of justice.Laura - Tema Miles - A humanish logistics & security expert on the Hypatia. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and will rip yours out of your chest if you cross her, the ship, or her young ward Libby.

In this episode of Epic Realms, we sit down with musician, author, and board game designer Brady J Sadler for a deep dive into his life and creative journey. From his early influences in music and gaming to the unexpected twists along the way, Brady shares how his path was anything but traditional. We talk about his first attempt at college and how it fell apart thanks to Grand Theft Auto, and how he later found his way back by working as a janitor at a college while pursuing creative writing. During this time, he was also writing his first book and performing in the metal band Lorenguard. Brady also takes us behind the scenes of his work at Fantasy Flight Games, including collaborating with legendary game designer and Epic Realms alumni Corey Konieczka. We explore how music shapes his storytelling, and dive into his latest project that brings his novels into the world of board games through Kickstarter.
