Jace welcomes Jason Aaron back to the show to chat about the reception for the Absolute Superman series so far, how the destruction of Krypton affects this version of Superman and his collaboration with Rafa Sandoval. By any metric the entire Absolute line from DC Comics and the All In era have been a great success and the care Jason is putting into crafting this Superman story is indicative of how much all the creators at DC are invested in these stories. Jason says he has long term plans and won't be leaving the books any time soon. Also, he mentions that all the creative teams for the Absolute books have started to discuss how and when this books will crossover. More exciting times are coming for DC Comics, so be sure to listen in and grab Absilute Superman when it drops Wednesday. March 12th!

How do you balance those tones without losing the story's core message?The concept of Monkey Meat Island explores hyper-capitalism and corporate exploitation in surreal ways. What new angles or themes are you excited to explore in The Summer Batch?You describe Monkey Meat as a comic where you can "shed corporate expectations." How does that creative freedom shape the way you approach each issue or story?This new arc takes a summer magazine format with games and multiple tales per issue. What inspired this structure, and what do you think it brings to the reading experience?Characters and WorldbuildingFrom superhero monkeys to debt-collecting witches, the characters in Monkey Meat are wild and wonderfully diverse. Are there any new characters in The Summer Batch you're particularly excited for readers to meet?In previous issues, the Monkey Meat Company has a huge impact on the local, magical fauna. Does the environment of Monkey Meat Island evolve or play a role in this new arc?Art and CreativityYour art is incredibly dynamic and experimental. How does your artistic process change when you're working on an anthology with multiple stories in one issue versus a single, continuous narrative?Fun/Silly QuestionIf you were forced to take a vacation on Monkey Meat Island, what three survival items would you bring, and how would you avoid getting on the bad side of the local witches or demons?

How do you balance his intellectual, manipulative side with his more overt, imposing displays of power in this series?Vision and Timing: One World Under Doom has been in the works since 2023 and I can't help but think this was made to be read with a new U.S. president shaking things up, am I way off base with this feeling? The Sorcerer Supreme Element: Incorporating Doom's newfound status as Sorcerer Supreme super charges the villain yet we know we can't have characters running around like gods… are there chinks in his armor you're weaving into this story so that the heroes have a chance to defeat him? Squirrel girl fans must know, will she be a key component of your event?World-Building: Latveria has been shut away for some time, with it seemingly opening up in the first issue, how important to this story are any societal shifts or cultural dynamics spinning out of Doom taking over everything?Collaboration: Last time we spoke in November you were wrapping up the last issue of the arc, with some time to reflect on writing it, along with working with other creative teams for tie-ins, do you have a new perspective on what we're in store for?Character Reactions: The Avengers and Fantastic Four have faced Doom countless times, yet Doom has been hidden away for some time, does that influence their emotional responses  with Doom's new global domination?The Mystery of Power: The series teases a mystery about how Doom convinced the world's leaders to accept his rule, and it sort of reminded me of WWI, without giving away spoilers. Were you looking at any historical moments for inspiration to kick off his rule?Visual Storytelling: R.B. Silva's art is a standout feature of the series, and likely he stuns consistently as I saw with issue #1, but do you have any Silva high water mark moments in any specific issues?Silly Question: If Doctor Doom were to design a reality TV show in his new United Latveria, what would it be called, and who would be its target audience?

After doing a stint on Conan the Barbarian for Marvel, Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar aimed to keep their collaboration roaring. They loved their time in Hyperborea but also wanted a realm to claim as their own and one where they could unleash their most vicious instincts. Bug Wars, their latest partnership, published at Image Comics, is the beautifully brutal saga of "The Yard." Here, in the tall grass, below teenager Slade Slaymaker's home, Beetle Clans rage against the Ant Imperium while the Systers of the Spyder whisper of a coming storm. We're excited to have Jason Aaron back on the podcast, this time bringing Mahmud Asrar with him. We discuss their fascination with "Oh, No! I'm Shrunk!" stories and why their version required a bloody battleground. Our conversation also ventures into why Bug Wars may be one of Jason Aaron's most personal stories and how Mahmud Asrar challenged some legitimate creepy crawly phobias to bring this tale to the page. This week's podcast begins with a discussion about our "Comics Will Mend Your Heart" 2025 theme and how it relates to the famous Jack Kirby quote, "Kid...comics will break your heart." When and where did Kirby first say it, and what was the quote's original context? We get into it. Bug Wars #1 arrives in comic shops on February 12th. It's written by Jason Aaron, illustrated by Mahmud Asrar, colored by Matthew Wilson, lettered and designed by Becca Carey, and edited by Heather Antos. Consider continuing this conversation with Jason Aaron via his Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky. Please do the same with Mahmud Asrar via his Instagram and Blueksy.

Can you tease a bit about her background and how her relationship with Dylan will evolve?Why didn't you renumber with #1 issues?For both: The theme of legacy plays a big role in both Rogue Sun and Radiant Black. How does the idea of who "deserves" to be a hero shape the stories you're telling in this new era?Massive-verse movie I Am No/One update? Fun question: If Marshall and Dylan were forced to swap cities — Marshall in New Orleans and Dylan in Chicago — who would handle the switch better, and which city's villains would give them the most trouble?Kyle I'd be remiss not to ask: Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse, anything you can tease?

Jace is joined by Jason Aarona and Mahmud Asrar to talk about Bug Wars. An eclectic mix of two of Jason's favorite types oif stories growing up, the hidden civilazations of "tiny people" who live at our feet. like The Littles or The Borrowers, and mythical fantasy. Joined by superstar artist Mahmud Asrar, these two creators are building an amazingly rich world that combines the best elements of both. Jason describes it as Honey, I Shrunk the Kids meets Game of Thrones. The guys discuss the first issue and the elements of bringing these two types of stories together and also some hints of how the main character goes from our world to the sprawling land of The Yard. With roots in Jason's childhood, from the stories he created in his own backyard as a child, to the amazing and inventive design work from Mahmud, this is an incredible story and a must-read debut issue. There's plenty more to the conversation so join us to learn more and pre-order the book now! Final Order Cut-Off is January 20th and Bug Wars hits comics shops on Feruary 12th.

On today's episode, I talk to comics writer Jason Aaron. Originally from Piney Woods, Alabama, Jason started writing comics professionally after winning a Marvel Comics talent search contest in 2001. This opened the door for him, and soon after in 2006, Vertigo published his first major work The Other Side, which netted him an Eisner Award. Since then, Jason has written acclaimed runs on both mainstream and his own creator-owned comics, some of which include Wolverine and the X-Men, The Punisher, The Avengers, Thor, Scalped, Once Upon a Time at the End of the World, Southern Bastards and many, many more. Currently, Jason is writing the fantastic Superman reboot Absolute Superman, as well as a brilliant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series for IDW!

In this week's episode of Off Panel, writers Scott Snyder, Kelly Thompson, and Jason Aaron join the show to talk about their work in the Absolute Universe at DC with Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Superman respectively. Snyder kicks things off, as he discusses the roots of Absolute DC, events as the thing before the thing, the environment Absolute grew in, and the power of jumping on points, before Thompson and Aaron join to talk about taking on this type of project, the idea of competition, collaboration, figuring out how varying pieces fit, the "big" of it all, their favorite art so far, the most challenging part, trying to make something sustainable, and more.

Two weeks later, we're still recovering from New York Comic Con 2024. This may have been our third year attending, but we've never experienced a comic convention quite like this one, and it may take a few more months before we've actually processed everything that happened. A major factor differentiating this event from any that came before was our new gig hosting the Harvey Awards. So, we spend the first half of today's episode taking you behind the scenes of this event, detailing what you can't see when you watch the ceremony online (via Popverse). We're talking wardrobe malfunctions, deodorant hockey play, iPad snafus, and the delightful success of celebrating the best the comics medium has to offer while doing so during Harvey Kurtzman's centennial. Within the episode's back half, we're diving deep into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees. We chat with artist Cliff Chiang about his time on the recent third issue. We explore Leonardo's existential crisis in India, Spaghetti Western action, and whether or not we can expect Cliff Chiang back on the book. Jason Aaron also returns to the podcast, but this time, he's brought the recently announced artist for the arc following "Return to New York" with him, Juan Ferreyra. As we gaze over Ferreyra's pages for issue six, we detail the perfect TMNT New York City, the heartbreak coming the Brothers's way, and the gauntlet they'll run upon their return to the Big Apple. Patrick Horvath is also back to close out the show. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is one of the comics' recent great successes, and few have hit the comic convention circuit as hard as Horvath. We chat about his time on the road, what he can teach us about con life, and what we can expect from the upcoming Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Seessequel, Rite of Spring. Make sure you're following all these folks on their respective social media platforms. Find Cliff Chiang on Twitter, Instagram, and on the website. Find Jason Aaron on Twitter, Instagram, and his website. Find Juan Ferreyra on Twitter and Instagram. Find Patrick Horvath on Twitter, Instagram, and his Website.
