Podcast appearances and mentions of Justina Ireland

Weiter geht unser Einbiegen auf die Zielgerade der Hohen Republik mit dem finalen Jugendroman des Literaturprojektes. Justina Ireland kehrt mit Ein mutiges Versprechen (A Valiant Vow) noch einmal zurück. Doch auch einige ihrer geschaffenen Figuren torkeln durch den Roman. Imri zum Beispiel oder J-6. Zusammen mit den neuen Jugendcharakteren TepTep, Zenny und Churo. Zusammen oder eher lange Zeit getrennt versuchen diese Figuren eine diffuse politische Verschwörung aufzudecken, die selbst für Schleier der Täuschung zu komplex gewesen wäre. Warum deshalb das finale Abenteuer der Fünf Freunde nicht so überzeugt, wie wir es uns gewünscht hätten, besprechen Ines, Theo und Tobias. Es geht um Überbrückungsdrogen und die Frage, warum Imri und J-6 aus dem alten Fünf-Freunde-Cast nicht mehr zu den neuen im Team passen wollen. Es geht um das Stillhalten fürs große Finale, konsequenzlose Konflikte, seltsame Cover-Entscheidungen und schließlich auch um glaubhafte Zweifel von jugendlichen Charakteren – allen voran Churo und Zenny. Ein Roman mit viel Stoff, wenig Inhalt und trotzdem immer wieder dem Herz der Hohen Republik.

Mai 2025 bei Disney-Lucasfilm Press Ein englischsprachiges Hörbuch, gesprochen von Todd Haberkorn, erschien am selben Tag bei Listening Library Die deutsche Version von Panini erscheint am 30. Juni 2025 Die Rezensionen Matthias hat das Werk für euch rezensiert. Auch er kritisierte die Überfrachtung der Geschichte mit allen Konzepten, die es in der Hohen Republik bis dato gab. Für ihn wäre weniger mehr gewesen. Zudem seien die Illustrationen von TepTep kein Gefallen für den Charakter. Die Jugendliche hätten ob der vollen Handlung zu wenig Zeit zur eigenen Entfaltung. Am Ende seien aber vor allem Churo und Zenny glaubwürdig geschrieben und somit passend für einen Jugendroman. Tobias wird Ende des Monats die deutsche Version von Panini rezensieren. Einen Ausschnitt aus seiner Rezension lest ihr bereits hier: "In diesem Punkt ist Irelands finales Werk vielleicht auch eine Allegorie auf die Probleme der modernen Jugend. Manch 10-Jähriger hat heute ja einen volleren Terminplan mit Judo-Training, Nachhilfe und Klavierunterricht als sein Erziehungsberechtigter. Dass da kaum noch Zeit für eigene Konflikte, Selbst- und Wegfindung bleibt, ist mittlerweile wohl auch im Star Wars-Universum ein um sich greifendes Problem."

Eure Meinung Wie gefiel euch Justina Irelands finaler Beitrag zur Hohen Republik? Hattet auch ihr das Gefühl, dass die Figuren nicht alle in das Medium passen? Wie bewertet ihr den politisch-verschwörerischen und doch seltsam konsequenzlosen Plot? War für euch mit Imri die richtige Figur im Fokus?

Happy Halloween! As scary as the real world is, we figured everyone could use a break and a really dumb movie, so here's 1993's Ghost Brigade. Also known as Grey Knight, Killing Box, and The Lost Brigade this civil war zombie can't even get the "zombie" or "civil war" part right.  Joined by the one and only Justina Ireland (Amazing Spider-Man, Star Wars: The High Republic, Dread Nation) joins us to discuss Ray Wise's questionable relationship with his horse, Cynda Williams as the magical voodoo enslaved woman, and much more!  Justina is the first woman to work on a run of Amazing Spider-Man and you should absolutely pick it up on November 16th! Also check out her website for more books and info! And you can find us on all the socials (@whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TikTok and @white_pod on Twitter) where we'll be dropping more fun stuff in the near future.

No new comics out this week, but plenty of news out of New York Comic Con from Oct. 17-21, including word that Poe Dameron is returning to comics via Dark Horse, Marc Guggenheim and Madibek Musabekov will have a new monthly from Marvel featuring Jedi knights set before the events of The Phantom Menace and plenty of hype about the Battle of Eriadu that's about to go down in the pages of The HIgh Republic Adventures Phase III.What wasn't revealed? Marvel's plans for Star Wars when The Battle of Jakku maxi-series concludes in January. We're hopeful that more details about what's to come will be doled out in the coming weeks. January solicits are due later this week and there might be some clues there (maybe).Comics Discussed This Week:Not a oneStar Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Star Wars (Vol. 3) #48News: Marvel's January solicits are due out later this week, as are Dark Horse's March solicits.The Dark Horse Star Wars comics panel on Saturday at NYCC brought news that Ethan Sacks is writing a Poe Dameron comic that's set before the events of The Force Awakens that sees the pilot on a secret mission. So secret that Sacks would say no more.Alyssa Wong is penning a The High Republic Adventures Phase III one-shot that centers on the effects of and fallout from the upcoming battle of Eriadu that's about to unspool through issue #17 of The High Republic Adventures Phase III.Writers also broke down some of the elements of Jan. 22's THRA Annual 2025, with Scott's story focused on Baron Boolan, Justina Ireland's is about Vernestra Rwoh (including a Stellan Gios flashback), while Wong says they've written about Driggit Parse teaming up with a teen to take down the Nihil.Cavan Scott said he is writing another halloween-inspired comic, while Michael Siglain says the guest-star villain of January's start of the five-issue The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents will be revealed shortly.With regard to the Mace Windu and Grievous graphic novels announced at NYCC today, it's worth noting these aren't new.

Summary: Grab a bowl of brains and hunker down for a perfect theme for spooky season - the Undead! Today Holly and Devin sink their teeth into these legendary creatures; deceased but actually alive, depicted as everything from vampires, zombies, mummies and skeletons. Whether you vibe with Brendan Frasier in the iconic 1999 film or are a huge fan of The Walking Dead, these beings have captured our imaginations for centuries for a great reason.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:37): Holly discussed Dread Nation by Justina Ireland, an alternate history novel where the Civil War ended not because of political agreements or military victories, but because the dead begin to rise on the battlefield at Gettysburg, forcing both Union and Confederate forces to confront a new, common enemy: the undead. We follow Jane McKeene as she is trained in the art of combat against the undead (called Shamblers) at Miss Preston's School of Combat for Negro Girls in Baltimore. Jane becomes increasingly disillusioned with the system and matters escalate when she and her friend are sent to Summerland, a western settlement that harbors dark secrets. Holly's key takeaways were: Ireland was inspired to write this book after reading “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”; it is unlikely that women who didn't even dress themselves would be zombie fighting machines, and would likely have relied on their ladies' maids instead. Ireland uses this speculative angle to shed light on the very real history of the United States and the implications of racism both then and now. The Shamblers are pretty classic zombies: slow-moving, rotting, and relentless in their pursuit of human flesh. They can turn others into shamblers through bites, similar to traditional zombie lore and hoards of shamblers roam the countryside. Jame is resilient, a master at surviving and must navigate the tricky path of how much one has to compromise their morals in order to survive; she is faced with illusions of safety and the crumbling facade of corruption while holding onto friendships and the trust she shares with her schoolmates.  The Heart (15:55): Devin discussed Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne, a reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic that follows Victor's younger sister who has been unlucky in love. A great scientific mind but known as being a bit odd, she's run out of suitors but strikes upon a solution as she assists her brother with his groundbreaking reanimation experiments; she'll make her own! A lucky (and gorgeous) corpse lands on her lab table and soon, Will is (re)born. But will the spark of life lead to a spark of love? Devin's key takeaways were: This novel was such a fun re-imagining of the Frankenstein story. It keeps all the same creepiness and gothic energy without the moral quandary of hating your creation and instead falling in love with it. Will is a dashing, galant, and not-too-wonky reanimated corpse that any reader will root for.  Angelika as a protagonist is the twist this story needed; Thorne explores the power and powerlessness of women in this era, especially within the scientific community through Angelika and the scrapes her crew gets into.  Whenever you're reanimating a dead body, you have to wonder if our lives are controlled by fate or by our own choices - is everything a coincidence or is it all meant to be? Throne uses a familiar tale to explore the implications of choice for characters and when love truly does conquer all, including death.  Hot On the Shelf (29:28): Holly: Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune Devin: Hot Hex Boyfriend by Carly Bloom What's Making Our Hearts Race (33:10): Holly: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu Devin: English Teacher on FX/Hulu   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Holly and Bryan sat down to talk about the first two installments of The High Republic Phase II--Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland's Path of Deceit and Zoraida Cordova's Convergence. They talks about ways it's connecting to Phase I, what the story and universe is about, and all points in between.

On this month's episode of Future Tense Fiction, host Maddie Stone talks to Justina Ireland about her short story “Collateral Damage.” The story follows a group of soldiers deployed alongside TED, the Army's first self-aware combat drone. TED is relentlessly efficient, quickly outpacing its human counterparts—and leaving them worried for their jobs. But when a wrong call from the clunky robot puts soldiers' lives at risk, they realize just how hard it is to program for battlefield experience. After the story, Ireland shares how her own time in the military shapes her writing, and why tech dreamed up in D.C. rarely reflects the needs of soldiers on the ground. Guest: Justina Ireland, a veteran and author of books including Dread Nation, Deathless Divide, and Ophie's Ghosts  Story read by Joanne Lichtenstein Podcast production by Tiara Darnell Check out AWS Insiders here: https://link.chtbl.com/awsinsiders?sid=podcast.futuretensefiction Learn more about your ad choices.
