Should Chip Zdarsky's promotional magazine, Zdarsky Comic News, win an Eisner at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con International ceremony? We brought the question to him directly, and as you'll hear, he rejected the whole notion of a nomination extremely quickly. Zdarsky is having a ball working on his free periodical every month. He puts tremendous time, energy, and thought into each issue. Still, as far as the category of Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism is concerned, he wants someone else to take home the statue, and “knows” that someone else will take home the statue. We shall see the results very soon. Zdarsky Comic News began as a lark, as most things with Chip Zdarsky do. He turned his back on social media, adamantly believing it served no positive purpose, especially when it came to promoting his comics. Zdarksy Comic News' primary mission was to inform folks in comic shops about what he was working on and give them a little chuckle in the process. Since the first issue, however, Zdarsky Comic News has become its own unique monster. The cartoonist is slowly building a staff around himself, and it's time to decide whether or not to kill the beast or let it grow into something larger and more significant. Through advertising, Zdarsky Comic News pays for itself, but it might need a little more to become the next Comics Journal, or its evil stepbrother. Shortly before the 2025 Eisner Awards, we spoke with Chip Zdarsky about his free pamphlet, and that's all we talked about, which seemed to surprise him. If you want more Captain America talk or Public Domain conversation, you'll have to go somewhere else. We were only interested in Chip Zdarsky's mad side-hustle and what he thinks about the current state of comic book journalism. You can find Zdarsky Comic News at your local comic book shop, and you should also consider subscribing to Chip Zdarsky's Substack.

If you've read comics from the Hivemind, aka Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, then you know their specialty. Everyone goes to therapy! Whether you're Peter Quill, Bucky Barnes, or Brad and Lisa Gullickson, if you're in a Hivemind comic, or reading a Hivemind comic, you're entering some kind of therapeutic discussion. Kelly and Lanzing put their characters on the couch, asking them some tough questions and listening to their answers. The results are always compelling, especially if we examine their recent run on Marvel's Thunderbolts. Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing recently finished their time on Thunderbolts, wrapping up their even larger Bucky Barnes story, with Doomstrike, out now as a five-issue series. As part of our San Diego Comic-Con Internationalcoverage, happening all week long on Comic Book Couples Counseling, we put the Hivemind in session with our particular brand of armchair psychology. The result, we hope, is an engaging, thorough exploration of who Bucky Barnes was, is, and will be. Not to mention all the other beautiful “heroes” brooding their way through the Thunderbolts team. We discuss their original plan for Bucky Barnes and how that evolved throughout Thunderbolts and the One World Under Doom event. We consider how Bucky's time as The Revolution parallels Captain America's time as Nomad, and why the character needed to become a cause rather than simply existing as a fist...or a trigger finger. It's a heavy conversation at times, but also one packed with joy and excitement. Just like their Thunderbolts comic. Thunderbolts: Doomstrike issues one through five are now available from Marvel Comics. They're written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, illustrated by Tommaso Biachi, colored by Yen Nitro, and lettered by Joe Sabino. Make sure you're following Collin Kelly on Blue Sky and Instagram, and Jackson Lanzing on Blue Sky and Instagram.

If you're a comic book reader like we are, around the same time you learn about Batman and Robin, you're introduced to the medium's scariest boogeyman, Dr. Fredric Wertham. The publication of his Seduction of the Innocent in 1954 thrust Wertham into the popular consciousness, sparking hysteria and moral panic, hindering the medium's growth, and significantly harming the artists who worked within it. We assumed that Harold Schechter and Eric Powell's latest true crime collaboration would roast Wertham viciously, but Dr. Werthless is far too good a work to be an attack. Schechter and Powell reveal a much more complicated character, one who devoted years of his life to the Civil Rights movement and experienced tremendous horror while working with some of this nation's most notorious human monsters. Eric Powell, the creator of The Goon, knows a thing or two about this art form and how it can stir an intense reaction from “concerned citizens.” The era in which Wertham's book dominated boob tube conversation does not feel too far away from 2025, as politicians charge against graphic novels and libraries. The concerns around what stories can be told and who should be telling them indicate their power to influence and broaden our perspectives beyond the tiny universe within our eyeline. The desire to police narratives stems from fear and a need to control. If someone tells you not to read a book or watch a movie, you must read that book and watch that movie. As you'll hear, we had a wonderful time chatting with Harold Schechter and Eric Powell about Dr. Werthless. We discuss comic books' greatest boogeyman and all the complexities that brought him to write Seduction of the Innocent. We dig into this medium's power, the artists who were hurt by Werthem's attack, and how it all relates to what we're seeing around us today. Also, we may argue about what is and is not a comic book. Fun stuff! Dr. Werthless is now available as a hardcover from Dark Horse Comics. You can find more information on the comic by visiting Powell's site or Schecter's site. You can find Eric Powell on Bluesky and Instagram, and Harold Schechter on Facebook HERE. This Week's Sponsors We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading!

Today I'm delighted to host comics writer and artist Sophie Campbell on the show. Sophie has recently kicked off both writing and drawing Volume 8 of DC's favorite Maiden of Might, Kara Zor-El or Supergirl. As a longtime fan of the character, I've thoroughly enjoyed Sophie's take pulling from the foundational 70s era and still finding room to make it distinctly her own. We ease into the conversation talking about Kara's appreances on food because Sophie is such a big cereal fan, explore the imprint of the 70s on Sophie including how important fashion and costumes are, debate who the best werewolf in the DC Universe is, why she wanted to include Lesla at the beginning of this new arc, returning to Midvale, and Sophie's love of kaiju inlcuding touching on her Mothra: Queen of Monsters series with IDW.

Think you know Japanese alcohol? Think again. In this episode, the Krewe dives into shochu — Japan's most beloved distilled spirit that somehow still flies under the radar outside the country. We sit down with Christopher Pellegrini, founder of Honkaku Spirits and one of the world's leading voices on shochu, to break it all down.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! And Happy Birthday, Ray! Nate and Elijah once again celebrate their birthdays by celebrating Ray Harryhausen's birthday with another deep dive into the stopmotion master's filmography: The Valley of Gwangi. This 1969 dinosaur epic combined the monster movie and western at a time when both genres were past their primes. It failed at the box office, but it has since become a cult classic, and it's no wonder why. Cowboys wrangling dinosaurs, baby! While it aped (pun intended) King Kong (1933), it was Ray's loving tribute to his mentor, Willis O'Brien, who wanted to make this film two decades earlier. It has some of Ray's best work but also some underdeveloped characters. Where does it rank in Nate's and Elijah's lists of Harryhausen films? Listen to find out!
