Podcast appearances and mentions of Jonathan Hickman

Superzłoczyńca o pseudonimie Stwórca ucieka z więzienia i modyfikuje Ziemię 6160 wedle swego uznania, by stworzyć dla siebie nowy dom i zarazem świat, w którym nie istnieją superbohaterowie.Czy „Nowy świat Ultimate. Inwazja” to dobry komiks, aby od zera rozpocząć swoją przygodę z Marvelem? Na ile jest to autonomiczna opowieść, na ile zaś zwykły łącznik między starym, a nowym? Kim jest główny protagonista tego świata? Na jakich fundamentach Jonathan Hickman buduje Ziemię 6160? Czy czuć, że mamy tu do czynienia z czymś nowym czy świeżym? Jak prezentują się ilustracje Hitcha i kolory Sinclaira? Dlaczego bardziej czekam na „Ultimate Spider-Mana”, niż na grupówkę „Ultimates”? Posłuchajcie.

Mille storie, una ventina di pagine. Il tempo sta per scadere. Ultimate Spiderman 23, scritto da Jonathan Hickman, disegnato da Marco Checchetto e David Messina, edito da Panini Comics.

Welcome to an episode of Casual Trek which is the equivalent of a teacher wheeling the television into the classroom. We're finally looking at Disney's first ever PG movie, the weirdly horrific Black Hole.A spaceship's crew investigates the strangely empty abandoned ship which has been observing cosmic phenomenon. No, it's not Event Horizon, it's Black Hole, straddling the era of classic rocketship fiction and Star Wars type stories.There's a robot bin who's really annoying and somehow one of the most competent people on the ship, several aspirant Darth Vader types of mixed qualities and an odd amount of theological questions. Charlie's gone into the movie blind, so join him trying to recap it without losing his sanity!02:28 What Non-Black Hole Thing We've Been Enjoying: King Sorrow & Odyssey12:38 What is Black Hole?15:30 Charlie attempts to recap Black Hole in 10 minutes28:17 Charlie tries to understand what that was all about56:20 Final ThoughtsTalking points include: Event Horizon, Charles Burns' Black Hole, Miles will never make Blake's Boys happen, King Sorrow by Joe Hill, Woke Classic “The Odyssey”, Ulysses-31, ODY-C, Circe, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Coming for Jonathan Hickman's humour comics, Charlie takes real offence to V.I.N.C.E.N.T., another Twin Peaks connection, the novelisations of Black Hole & Red Dwarf, Rise of Skywalker, behind the scenes details, Tron, whether the robot saw heaven.

Looking back, what did that transition teach the company, and how does it position DSTLRY differently heading into the rest of 2026? You've said from the beginning that DSTLRY wasn't trying to become "just another publisher." Now that the initial launch period is behind you, what do you think defines DSTLRY's identity today compared to when you first announced the company? We've seen collections like Warm Fusion and A Mischief of Magpies join the schedule alongside new single issues. How important is building a strong hardcover library for DSTLRY's long-term vision, especially as more readers discover these books after their initial release? Neon Ichiban has grown quickly from a digital comics platform into something that feels much more creator-focused. At what point did you realize the platform could become more than simply a place to read comics? The new partnership with Scott's Collectibles brings a huge roster of creators into Neon Ichiban's digital remarques program. Why was that collaboration the right next step, and how do you see it changing the experience for fans who collect sketches and signatures? One of the most intriguing ideas behind Neon Ichiban is the Digital Fast-Pass at conventions. Do you see this as solving a long-standing problem for fans who spend hours waiting in Artist Alley, or is the bigger goal expanding access to creators beyond the convention itself? You've spent years thinking about where comics are headed digitally, first at Comixology and now with Neon Ichiban. What do you think today's readers expect from a digital comic that they didn't expect even five years ago? Both DSTLRY and Neon Ichiban seem to share the same philosophy: giving creators more opportunities while giving fans new ways to engage with their work. Is there a bigger vision connecting those two efforts, and where do you hope they are a year from now after another SDCC has come and gone?

Your heroes return to discuss Avengers by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 5!In this episode we chat the the Avengers finale, the Cap vs. Iron Man debate, and what we're excited about in Secret Wars.

Marvel's Midnight Universe is getting ready to open its doors, and this week we're going straight to two of the writers helping build it. Benjamin Percy and Phillip Kennedy Johnson join the AIPT Comics Podcast for an extended conversation about Midnight Fantastic Four and Midnight Spider-Man, two of the three series launching Marvel's new horror-infused universe on October 7. Along with Jonathan Hickman on Midnight X-Men, Percy and Johnson are helping to establish a world in which familiar Marvel characters are being rebuilt through body horror, cosmic terror, and some seriously disturbing new origins. Percy digs into the Lovecraftian nightmare behind his Fantastic Four, why their familiar powers are closer to curses, the influence of California's strange scientific and occult history, and just how grotesque Reed Richards' elasticity can become. Johnson takes us inside his radically different Peter Parker, the role Oscorp plays in his transformation, ScieTronc's horrifying designs, and why calling this version of Peter "Man-Spider" barely scratches the surface. The conversation also gets into the larger Midnight Universe, including how Percy, Johnson, and Hickman are coordinating their books, how carefully they're approaching other Marvel characters, plans for the universe to eventually expand, and yes, whether Hickman's beloved data pages are coming along for the ride.

Dave: Tomb of Apocalypse #1 (Pablo Villalobos) Chris: Next Level: One Shot #1 (Fernando Blanco Main Cover) Interview: Midnight Universe - Ben Percy (Midnight FF) and Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Midnight Spider-Man) - Out October 7, FOC Aug 31 You're both taking characters whose origins are among the most familiar in comics and rebuilding them through horror. What was the first thing each of you identified in the classic Fantastic Four and Spider-Man origins that could become genuinely frightening in the Midnight Universe? Since this is horror, are you inverting who is the hero? I.e. is Spider-Man the villain and hsi rogues the bad guys, same for FF, or is that giving too much away? Ben, the Fantastic Four have always been explorers pushing into the unknown, but here that curiosity seems potentially catastrophic. How much of Midnight Fantastic Four is about Reed Richards being unable to leave certain doors unopened, even when every instinct should tell him to stop? Phillip, you've described wanting Peter Parker's transformation to feel like something conceived by H.R. Giger and directed by David Cronenberg. Once Peter becomes this grotesque spider hybrid, how do you preserve the humanity and responsibility that make him recognizably Spider-Man? Both books seem fascinated with science going somewhere it absolutely should not go. How differently do Reed and Peter respond to the realization that scientific progress has created something horrifying, and do you see them as cautionary reflections of each other? The solicit for Midnight Fantastic Four #2 mentions revisiting and redefining the perils of the atomic age. Ben, what interested you about connecting the Fantastic Four to that particular period of scientific optimism, anxiety, and destruction? Phillip, Oscorp isn't simply responsible for Peter's transformation. They're apparently using what they learn from him to create more human-animal hybrids. Does that give this version of Spider-Man a different relationship with his rogues gallery, especially characters like the Lizard and Doctor Octopus? Kev Walker and ScieTronc have incredibly distinct visual identities. Were there moments when their designs or pages came back and actually changed your understanding of this universe, or pushed the horror further than what you'd originally scripted? Horror can become less frightening once readers understand its rules. With both of you planning potentially very long runs, how do you keep the Midnight Universe mysterious and unsettling after readers have spent 20, 30, or even 50 issues living inside it? I know your books haven't launched just yet, but it's hard not to be excited for your books to somehow connect, given Spidey and the FF are thoroughly linked in the 616. Have you dreamed up crossovers yet? Finally, the important Midnight Universe question: if Midnight Spider-Man and the Midnight Fantastic Four were trapped together in a horror movie, who dies first, who somehow survives, and who makes the catastrophically bad decision to say, “Let's split up”?

Did you know that Isaac Newton was kind of a dick? Well, it turns out that was probably true in real life, and it's definitely true in the Marvel Universe. On this week's episode of The Doombots Marvel Podcast, we're taking a look at Jonathan Hickman's "S.H.I.E.L.D." comics, which details the secret occult origins of one of Marvel's most iconic organizations.

Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl, stands on the cusp of adulthood, eager to experience the "real world" for the first time.

But when Chachu's wife goes missing once again, the two are forced on an impromptu road trip to track her down—with Leila navigating young adulthood and Chachu confronting his own mortality and regrets. Inspired by her own coming-of-age experiences in the entertainment industry, CHACHU is the solo writing debut of superstar IMAN VELLANI (Ms. Marvel), a reinterpretation of the classic neo-noir private investigator story brilliantly illustrated by MARIANNA IGNAZZI (EXQUISITE CORPSES) and colored by JORDIE BELLAIRE (Absolute Wonder Woman).

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are taking a closer look at one of Marvel's most intriguing new limited series as Spider-Man, the Hulk, and the Punisher collide in an adventure decades in the making. In the spotlight is Spider-Man: Long Way Home #1 from Marvel Comics, written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Adam Kubert. Set in an earlier era of the Marvel Universe, before Frank Castle becomes the Punisher and when the Hulk is little more than a rumor, the story follows Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, and Frank Castle as they race through the jungles of South America in pursuit of a newly created Cosmic Cube developed by A.I.M. Each man has his own reasons for wanting the artifact, but only one can keep its unimaginable power from falling into the wrong hands. With Hickman weaving together three iconic Marvel characters and Kubert delivering the dynamic storytelling he's known for, we are breaking down whether this ambitious new series is the next must-read Marvel event.

We talk all things Infernal Hulk, from why this era of Hulk is finally colliding with the wider Marvel Universe to how Johnson has reshaped Bruce Banner's world into a Southern Gothic monster epic rooted in Marvel lore. Along the way, we get into the X-Men crossover, the Living City, Dungeons of Doom, his new Marvel exclusive deal, and the bigger plans quietly building beneath the surface of his Hulk run.

Dave: Absolute Batman #18 (TONS of retailer covers but going with Dexter Soy) Chris: Logan: Black, White & Blood #3 (Chris Campana Variant) Interview: Phillip Kennedy Johnson 1. On Horror as Hulk's Natural State With Infernal Hulk, you've fully repositioned Hulk as a horror icon rather than just a force of destruction. What makes horror such a natural lens for this character, and what aspects of Bruce and Hulk feel newly unlocked for you in that genre? 2. On Marvel Exclusivity & Timing You're now officially Marvel exclusive while also wrapping up Book of El at DC. Creatively, what does this moment represent for you? Does going exclusive feel like narrowing your focus, or opening up the sandbox in a bigger way? 3. On Bruce Without the Monster One of the smartest pivots in this run has been stripping Bruce away from the Hulk and forcing him to watch the consequences. What fascinates you most about Bruce when he's powerless and confronted with what the Hulk becomes without him? 4. On Writing Other Heroes Judging Bruce You've written the wider Marvel Universe reacting to Bruce in a way that feels tense, even cruel at times. Why was it important that the heroes not simply rally around him? 6. On the Living City Concept The Living City feels mythic, grotesque, and operatic all at once. What inspired that setting, and how important is it that Hulk's world now feels almost biblical in scope? 7. On INFERNAL HULK #7 and the X-Men In issue #7, Hulk exerts mysterious control over mutantkind and draws them into the Living City. That's a bold escalation. What makes the X-Men the right foil for this version of Hulk, and how does their connection to identity and mutation complicate what Eldest is doing? 7. You and Ben Percy are both playing in Marvel's darker corners right now, and “Dungeons of Doom” has that same horror-forward energy we're seeing in Infernal Hulk. What's it been like working alongside Ben in shaping that space, and how do you make sure your vision of horror and mythic stakes complements rather than overlaps with what he's building? 8. Fun Silly Question If Eldest decided to build the perfect army out of Marvel characters purely based on vibes, who would absolutely make the cut… and who would Eldest reject immediately for being “bad monster material”? 9. Any other projects you'd like to plug?

This week, we take a look at the epic finale of the Ultimate Universe in Marvel Comics' Ultimate Endgame! Listen as Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief CB Cebulski, Ultimates writer Deniz Camp, Ultimate Wolverine writer, Chris Condon, and Ultimate Spider-Man writer, Jonathan Hickman reflect on the past two years and share their experiences collaborating to bring this bold new vision of Marvel's heroes to life.
