Love doesn't come easy for Angela & Sera. After experiencing dastardly deceit and catastrophic revelation in Angela: Asgard's Assassin, Doctor Doom remakes the universe and dumps our Hevenly lovers in a Battleworld territory trapped in the Elizabethan age, Neil Gaiman's 1602. 1602: Witch Hunter Angela finds our couple serving a vengeful deity, tracking and slaying Witchbreed. However, when an even more dangerous threat appears - the Faustians - Angela & Sera hop to a new genocidal mission. In doing so, they uncover long-brewing questions about their purpose and feelings for each other. In our second session with these two love birds, we examine their compatibility using Robin Roberts' Brighter by the Day: Waking Up to New Hopes and Dreams as our relationship guide. Our tribe is our vibe, but are a tribe of two enough to survive in such an antagonistic universe? We sure hope so.

Mike, Brian, and Nick discuss our Goodreads Book of the Month: Farmhand Vol. 1 by Rob Guillory, Taylor Wells, and Kody Chamberlain.

Ba-da-Bing! C'mon! You're nothing but a lot of talk and a Podcast...I mean Badge! Ping! Pow! Boom! Bing! Sure, you may be holding out for a hero, but this podcast ain’t like that. I’ve invited Kody Chamberlain to sit down as we discuss some of our favorite Gangster/Mob/Organized Crime films. We of course talk about the classics, but in true FFFF form, we've got some surprises. So grab your Tommy gun, toss a shovel in the trunk, and go get your shine box. I want all of you to enjoy this episode of Fave Five From Fans.

Kody Chamberlain, writer, cartoonist, and graphic artist, has chosen to remain in Lafayette LA since graduating from USL (now UL - Lafayette) in 1997 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. A successful player in the creative arts industry, most of his peers live in New York City or Los Angeles, or even Portland or Austin, because they're drawn to "the scene," a community of other like-minded professionals with whom they can network and bounce ideas off each other. Kody is just fine here in Lafayette and acknowledges that the internet, dropbox, and other tools make this an easier task than when he started out twenty years ago. Kody is well-known for his ability to pull together original and creative projects using all mediums and in diverse endeavors such as comic book art, board game design, creation of the 2019 Festival International Poster, or writing crime novels. These fetes are amazing given the fact that Kody didn't grow up thinking he was creative and didn't start drawing until he was 18 when he took his first beginner art class as a Freshman. Most artists start when they are small children so Kody had a bit of catching up to do. Having never gotten better than a "C" for any art class he took in college, as he looks back, Kody doesn't feel he got to be good at drawing until he had worked at it for fifteen years or so! Yet he's worked on his craft with a loving touch as he always enjoyed it. "Natural ability without joy won't lead to success." He counsels people who come to him for advice to think about what they do in their spare time; if they're not doodling or drawing on a sketch pad, art may not be their forte. Kody Chamberlain loves what he does and always has a sketch pad out, he's always doodling. "I think the reason I eventually got good at this is because I enjoyed it. Natural ability without joy won't lead to success." He was first drawn to Lafayette when he visited friends at USL while attending Nichols State University in Thibodaux, and he particularly liked the vibe of Festival International. Midway through his college career, he transferred to USL because it offered a better Arts program and he liked Lafayette. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in advertising design under the direction of Professor Richard "Dutch" Keppler, where he learned to think creatively, write headlines and copy, and understand that quality results can be achieved using any medium.  Keppler had no interest in software at that time and Kody feels fortunate that he learned how to express ideas by utilizing any creative technique that could get a quality job done. While he started out working with advertising agencies using his graphic design background, he wanted to write and tell stories and gradually transitioned into comic book writing and drawing while he free-lanced with local agencies so he could pay the bills. He was first paid for his art in 2008, eleven years after graduating and plugging away at his craft. In 2011, Kody wrote, drew and published an original crime novel set in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina; Sweets: A New Orleans Crime Story A murder-mystery dealing with a cop who had to solve a crime before the hurricane hits and crucial evidence is washed away. He also published a five-part accompanying comic book series through Image Comics, which garnered the Spinetingler Award. Kody turned to Kickstarter to obtain community support to fund the printing and promotional efforts like posters, flyers, tradeshow displays, trade show travel expenses, shipping, print and web advertising, and preview books (ashcans) that are sent out to the media for review. It is rare for a comic book writer to develop all aspects of a series from the original concept, art, lettering, and promotion yet Kody's efforts were a huge success.

As social animals, we humans tend to ask each other two main questions. "How are you " And "What do you do " When we ask "How are you " we re looking a one word answer, something like "Fine," not a full medical report. But the response to "What do you do " tells us a lot of information about someone, besides what they do. For example, the reply, "I m a neuro scientist" or "I m a bass player in a punk band" tells us more than just what each of those people do all day. It tells us this is somebody I would like to talk more to, or this is somebody I can probably walk away from and go get another beer. Then again, once in a while, you meet someone who tells you what they do, and you have no idea what it might mean about them. Because you have no experience with anyone who does a job anything like that. And that s where we are on this edition of Out to Lunch Acadiana. Paul Kieu is a freelance photojournalist. Paul s photos have appeared locally in The Advertiser and The Advocate, in print across the country in publications like USA Today, and online on news sites like NBC news. Kody Chamberlain has one of those dream jobs that every kid who s ever sat in a class room with a piece of paper and pen has wanted from the age of 10. Kody draws comics. Yes, for a living. Kody is the creator of "Sweets A New Orleans Crime Story," "Punks The Comic," and other titles you ve most certainly heard of if you re in the comic world. Kody s a big deal in the world of comics. And he lives in Lafayette. Pictures at Cafe Vermilionville by Lucius Fontenot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kody Chamberlain is a comic book artist, illustrator, designer, and screenwriter who has worked out of Acadiana for decades. Some of the companies he's partnered with include DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, HarperCollins, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, LucasArts, Marvel Comics, MTV, MTV Comics, Sony Pictures, 343 Industries, Universal Pictures, and Warner Brothers.

On this episode of The Comics Alternative, Gene is back in the cohosting chair after a long absence. (He was last on the show for the interview with Joshua Hale Fialkov and Kody Chamberlain, but he hasn't been on a review show since October of last year.) This week, the Two Guys look at three new, yet very different, comics. They begin with Josh Simmons's Black River (Fantagraphics), a beautiful yet disturbing post-apocalyptic narrative. It follows a group of women trying to survive after some sort of catastrophic event -- we're never sure what -- the deadly travails that await them, and how the experience changes the group. Although the subject matter is violent and unsettling, Simmons's artwork is visually compelling. Next, the guys check out the first issue of 8House: Arclight, Brandon Graham and Marian Churchland's new series from Image Comics. Issue #1 reveals a detailed and fantastical world, complete with its own physics, as well as its own alphabet. Graham provides just enough story to satisfy, while at the same time teasing the narrative to come. But it's Churchland's art that captures Gene and Derek's attention, working seamlessly into the complex world-building apparent in this nascent series. Finally, Gene and Derek spend a lot of time discussing a small-press anthology series, Kilgore Quarterly (Kilgore Books and Comics). This is the 6th issue in the title, and as with the previous issues, this one contains a nice balance of known names, first-time-published cartoonists, and creators whose work you may not know, but you definitely should. Both Noah Van Sciver and Eleanor Davis have contributions in this issue, as do lesser-known artists such as Rich Sparks, Susan Choi, Matias San Juan, Sarah Leitten, and Amara Leipzig. But a full appreciation of Kilgore Quarterly #6 wouldn't be possible without delving into the work of all of its contributors -- and Derek and Gene do just that -- including Meg Golding, Alex Graham, Joe Leonard, Alex Nall, and Ryan the Truck. Of the three titles discussed on this week's show, Kilgore Quarterly is the one the guys spend the most time discussing...and for a reason.

On this episode of the interview show, Derek and Gene talk with the strange minds behind the even stranger title, Punks: The Comic, Joshua Hale Fialkov and Kody Chamberlain. Their first trade collection, Punks: The Comic, Vol. 1: Nutpuncher, has just come out this month from Image Comics, and Josh and Kody are ready to spill the beans about their secrets to humorous success. They talk with the guys about the genesis of Punks, how they come up with story ideas, their collaborative process, and the possible future of the title. If you're familiar with this comic, you know all about its offbeat humor, its non sequitur sensibilities, and its resistance to formula. Gene and Derek have the same kind of experience talking with the creators, demonstrating that the title's humor comes from a idiosyncratic wellspring. Both Kody and Josh are entertainingly funny, and Punks is their weird labor of love...complete with cross-stitched Lincoln patters, Sean Connory-infested holidays, do-it-yourself awesome red ties, violent gnome deaths, a fish-faced Rick Remender, fun facts about urine, and Nutpuncher: The Game. The Two Guys also ask the collaborators about some of the titles they work on separately, such as Kody's Sweets: A New Orleans Crime Story, and Josh's The Bunker and The Life After. All in all, it is a fun and funky interview, and both Derek and Gene eagerly await the upcoming release of Punks: The Comic-CBLDF Special, where the historic Comics Code will get the roasting it truly deserves.

This week on the podcast, Derek and Andy discuss three new titles that range from the profound to the insane. They begin with the new book from Julie Maroh, Skandalon (Arsenal Pulp Press). It's the story of a French rock star, Tazane, with international appeal and the power to move a vast legion of fans. The book is thesis driven, with Maroh exploring the dynamics, and the costs, of modern celebrity status and its affects on both the personal and collective psyche. Neither of the guys have yet read Maroh's first graphic novel — and the one for which she's best known — Blue Is the Warmest Color, but after digesting Skandalon they feel that their appreciation of the work may be enhanced, or at least contextualized, by the earlier book. Next, the Two Guys with PhDs move on the new work from Jeff Parker and Sandy Jarrell, Meteor Men (Oni Press). While at first they were skeptical of the potential formulaic nature of the narrative — aliens coming to Earth and the resulting aftermath — they're fascinated by the ways in which Parker complicates conventions to make the story unique. They're particularly struck by the book's teenage protagonist, Alden, the complexities of his character, and the circumstances surrounding his link to the extraterrestrials. While the guys disagree as to extents of Parker and Jarrell's deviation from the genre — Andy feels that the governmental/military response to the aliens is nuanced, while Derek thinks that it's more predictable and even heavy-handed — they both conclude that Meteor Men presents a different perspective on a popular formula. This is no E.T. Finally, the guys wrap up with what both feel is the highlight of the week, the first issue of Joshua Hale Fialkov and Kody Chamberlain's Punks: The Comic (Image Comics). This has to be one of the most whacked out comics they're read in a long time, rivaling the craziness and no-holds-barred fun of Ryan Browne's God Hates Astronauts and Evan Dorkin's Milk and Cheese. In this first issue of the new ongoing series, we get two short stories — the funniest being the lead off, “Firsts” — a portion of an earlier, self-published Punks comic, and a three-page fun-and-activities section, complete with a card game called Nutpuncher. Andy and Derek laugh their way through the final part of the podcast, and they eagerly look forward to following the future exploits of Dog, Skull, Fist, and Abraham Lincoln. Also, the Two Guys welcome a new Podcast Patron, Tom Mathews, who believes The Comics Alternative does for comics what Sound Opinions does for music. You can't get much better praise than that!

For today's episode Mike sits down with artist Kody Chambelain to talk about his new series 'Punks'. Co-created with writer Josh Fialkov, 'Punks' is the tale of four friends who may or may not actually like each other and may or may not be in a band. For the look of the comic Kody is working entirely in collage, cutting up photos of guys in suits, bulldogs and Abe Lincoln, and scotch taping the different elements down to create a sequential story. The finished pages serve to enhance the surreal humor that makes up the tone of the comic. There's lots of process talk, which is great because there is nothing on the stands that looks like 'Punks'! Issue one hits stands today from Image Comics. Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface.
