Time Codes: 00:00:31 - Introduction 00:03:21 - Setup of the discussion 00:04:00 - The Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America 00:27:07 - The Lost Path 00:47:59 - A discussion of the children's comics-related book market 01:10:32 - Wrap up 01:11:47 - Contact us In this episode of the Comics Alternative Young Readers Show, Gwen and Paul review two new releases, both of which have a connection to folklore and fairy tales: Jaime Hernandez's The Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America from Toon Graphics, and Amélie Fléchais and Jonathan Garnier's The Lost Path from Lion Forge Comics' children's imprint, Cub House. Additionally, Paul and Gwen discuss Brian Hibb's “Tilting at Windmills #268: Looking at BookScan 2017,” an overview of comics sales that demonstrates that the children's and YA market continues to grow and that young people are getting comics in a variety of venues, from direct distribution at comics shops to major booksellers to Comixology. In Part I of the show, Paul and Gwen embark on a detailed discussion of The Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America, a text that includes three short tales, “The Dragon Slayer” and “Tup and the Ants,” both written and drawn by Jaime Hernandez, and “Martina Martínez and Pérez the Mouse,” a collaboration between children's author Alma Flor Ada and Hernandez. The text begins with a short essay, “Imagination and Tradition,” by noted author F. Isabel Campoy that helps to contextualize the various fairy tales, or “cuentos” that have emerged from the diverse oral and literary traditions, which Campoy terms “a unique blend of Old World and New, spanning a continent across many geographic boundaries and cultures.” Campoy mentions specifically the Catholic, Jewish, Arab, and Moorish influences upon the Spanish, whose tales then encountered those of indigenous peoples from “the Maya, Aztec, Inca, and other Native American cultures.” At the end of the text, Campoy and Ada provide context for the three folktales, as well as a bibliography, and information on the authors. The editors at Toon Graphic have released a paperback Spanish language edition of the text, La Matadragones: Cuentos de Lationoamérica,” and Paul mentions the value of these books in dual language classrooms. Gwen and Paul then consider the way that The Dragon Slayer fits into Jaime Hernandez's long and storied career, and they mention both the humor inherent in the stories and the way that Hernandez's characteristic clear line style conveys characters' feelings and reactions. The fact that all three tales feature strong women is something that Paul highlights, noting that these tales provide a much-needed emphasis on girls and women who stand up for themselves and serve as problem solvers. Next, the duo talks about Amélie Fléchais and Jonathan Garnier's The Lost Path, a vibrant adventure story that includes references to classic fairy tales, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, and Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Gwen notes the text's similarity to other contemporary comics in which young people pass through to a magical land where conflict is brewing – she mentions specifically Mairghread Scott and Robin Robinson's recently released The City on the Other Side (First Second) as an example, while Paul praises the text's style, from the gorgeous water color page-length spreads to the black and white sketches, which are rich in detail and artistry. The show concludes with Paul and Gwen discussing the rise in hybrid comics, as well as implications that they have drawn from reading Brian Hibb's latest report on comics sales.
This week’s guests are Dave Scheidt and Scoot McMahon, the creative team behind Wrapped Up from Lion Forge Comics. I caught up with them briefly during New York Comic Con last year and I’ve been eager to speak to them at length on the show. Wrapped Up is a super fun, all-ages comic about a mummy kid named Milo and the wacky adventures he gets into involving pizza, vampires, pizza, gorillas, pizza, witches, and did I mention pizza? The first volume of Wrapped Up is available at your local comic shop, collecting the first five issues, plus the free Halloween ComicFest story. It will be available at book stores and Amazon on May 1st. Wrapped Up #6 also dropped this week. While there are some elements that pop up sequentially, this is a comic you can jump into with any issue. There are tons of laugh-out-loud moments that work for both kids and adults so it’s definitely worth checking out. Dave can be found online on Twitter at @DaveScheidt.

We appreciate everything Voltron, and although Voltron Legendary Defender is the freshest Voltron out there (100% on Rotten Tomatoes), we want to share something from Days of Long Ago or maybe not so long ago, with respect to Voltron. This segment will share our thoughts on something cool and interesting from the Voltron Universe. In this podcast, we talk about how different the first episode of Beast King GoLion is compared to that episode edited for Voltron: Defender of the Universe when it first aired in 1984. The stories for the Japanese GoLion are vastly different from the American Voltron, despite using most of the same animation. Hear Greg and Marc's thoughts about these in this podcast. As Always, Thanks for Listening! Let's Voltron!!

Here are some of those images: Also in this podcast, Lexi helps Marc and Greg review Black Site, the third episode from Season 4 of Voltron Legendary Defender. We really enjoyed seeing Matt meet the Voltron team, and then helping Hunk and Pidge develop a way to track Galra fleets throughout the galaxy. We especially liked seeing Lance show Coran and Allura how Kaltenecker helps them make really good milkshakes, and the severe reactions they had to witnessing it first hand. Of course, the main thrust of the episode was Lotor meeting with Zarkon, and Haggar finding out what Lotor was building, and Zarkon putting the "kill on site" APB to the Galra Empire. And we mourn the loss of Narti, who we had hoped to get to know better as time passed. Here are some screenshots from Black Site: As always, Thanks for Listening! Let's Voltron!!

On October 16, 2001, Smallville debuted on The WB and redefined superhero television. Starring Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang, and Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor, Smallville told the story of Superman in his teenage years and became the template for the current slate of DC TV. To celebrate the 16th anniversary of the show's debut, the entire Classics team of Keith, Britney, Desiree and Nick is reunited to break down the events of the Smallville Pilot. Keith also takes time to speak with Craig Byrne, the founder of the preeminent Smallville fansite Kryptonsite, about the show's enduring legacy, and the crew talks about some of the news coming out of New York Comic-Con, including Desiree's promotion to Editor at Lion Forge Comics, the blu-ray releases of Batman: The Animated Series and the long awaited extended television cut of Superman: The Movie.

Well folks, my guest this week was supposed to be writer David Gallaher. We had a fantastic chat about his comic, High Moon, a supernatural western starring a werewolf. Unfortunately, when I went to edit the interview, half of the audio was crazy corrupted. This is really unfortunate, because David is a great guy and we had a super fun chat about his book. The first volume of High Moon is called Bullet Holes and Bite Marks and it debuts on October 17th. It features amazing artwork by Steve Ellis, who draws monsters like no other. High Moon is a trilogy and the second volume is set for release in May 2018. So, what am I to do without a guest this week? Well, I did attend New York Comic Con last week and I did a few interviews from the show floor. I was planning on dropping these as smaller bonus episodes throughout the next couple weeks, but instead, I’m putting them all in here. There are three total. First is Dave Scheidt and Scoot McMahon, the creators of a new all ages horror comic called Wrapped Up from Lion Forge Comics. The first issue came out this week and it’s really fun. It follows a mummy named Milo as he gets into all kinds of spooky misadventures. If you want a peek at the comic, there will be a special free issue available for Halloween ComicFest at the end of the month at participating comic shops. The second interview is with writers Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer. Their book, Calla Cthulhu is a coming-of-age adventure story currently available from Dark Horse Comics. The third and final interview is with Jamie Madrox and Monoxide, otherwise known as Twiztid. They were on hand as they’re starring in a new one-shot comic called Haunted High-Ons from Source Point Press. The book is written by Dirk Manning and illustrated by Marianna Pescosta and Alessandro De Fornasari. It debuted at the show and is currently available at the Twiztid Shop and the Source Point Press site.

In this podcast, Marc & Greg, Shambavi, Shamus, and Dani review interviews with Joaquim Dos Santos, Lauren Montgomery, Bex Taylor-Klaus, and Tyler Labine, who all participated in a panel where the audience was pleased to see Episode 1 of Season 3 of Voltron Legendary Defender at San Diego Comic-Con 2017! 2 Lucky Winners of Voltron SDCC Prize Packs are announced as well! We couldn't wait to talk about everything Voltron that happened at San Diego Comic-Con, and since Greg was not able to attend, he is experiencing the whole story, interviews, panel and all, just like the listeners of this podcast. But while Marc (and his wife Kim), Shambhavi, Shamus, and Dani were all in San Diego, Greg was creating his own magic, putting together a great video review of the Voltron Legendary Defender Metal Defender Series Diecast Lions Set. You can watch Greg's very thorough review on our YouTube Channel! Here are some pics from our trip to San Diego Comic-Con: We also announced the 2 winners of a Voltron SDCC Prize Pack. Each prize pack has 8 prizes, including the previously mentioned Voltron Legendary Defender Metal Defender Series Diecast Lions Set, 2 Voltron Legendary Defender Chapter Books from Simon & Schuster, a signed lithograph of Season 2 characters, signed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Lauren Montgomery, Bex Taylor-Klaus, and Tyler Labine, 2 Let's Voltron stickers signed by 1 of the 4 cast and crew just mentioned, a large Voltron poster from Lion Forge Comics, a Voltron hand-held mask, and a Voltron poster from Toys-R-Us. You won't see the winners' names here - you'll have to listen to the podcast to see if you were announced as a winner. On July 28th, to celebrate Lance's birthday, Jeremy Shada was interviewed on Facebook LIVE for a Q&A, where he answered fan questions, had some donut cake, saw some fan art that fans had made for Lance, and received a set of the Voltron Legendary Defender Metal Defender Series Lions from Playmates Toys. Here's a few pictures from that event: On our next podcast, we are happy to announce we will be interviewing the newest cast member of Voltron Legendary Defender, the voice of Prince Lotor, AJ LoCascio. Don't forget to watch ALL NEW Voltron Legendary Defender Season 3 Episodes starting this Friday, August 4th on Netflix!! In the wake of Zarkon’s defeat and Shiro’s disappearance, the paladins struggle to move forward with no one able to pilot the black lion or the ability to form Voltron. The team must quickly devise a plan as the ascension of Prince Lotor and his generals pulls the team into a perilous game of cat-and-mouse that tests their unity and abilities more than ever before. Here's a brand new trailer to get you excited for FRIDAY on Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy6BXq0Pg6A&feature=youtu.be Finally, we want to honor a very special person who just announced she's retiring: Voltron Legendary Defender Voice Director Andrea Romano. Her retirement was announced in a story that was released by IGN. Marc and Greg had the amazing fortune to watch Andrea Romano working her magic at a recording session last April, just before WonderCon 2017. To see the legendary Andrea Romano directing world class voice actors like Jeremy Shada and Kimberly Brooks at a sound studio in Burbank, CA was a dream come true, and has now become a major highlight in our lives. Marc has also had the pleasure of interviewing Andrea Romano several times at red carpet events and conventions over the last 7 years.

You'll hear the complete audio from the panel, captured by our friend, Dani DeWald. There will be lots of commentary around everything that happened during the panel, and we'll conclude with a few things that happened at WonderCon, other than the panel, and give you info on how to enter to win a signed lithograph from all 8 participants of the panel. During the Voltron Legendary Defender panel, each of the voice actors, Tyler Labine (Hunk), Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge), Josh Keaton (Shiro), Kimberly Brooks (Allura), and Jeremy Shada (Lance), talked about their character's story arc and how it may have changed from Season 1 to Season 2, and all the panelists show clips from their favorite moments from Season 2. Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery (Executive Producers) announced that Season 3 is coming, but no specific date is set yet. There are two clips about Prince Lotor. The first is an April Fools joke played on the audience. The second is a clip that shows images of Galra forces, with an audio overlay of Prince Lotor talking. So, the audience was able to hear Lotor's voice, but we haven't seen the character, nor do we know who the voice actor is that plays him. The moderator announced several things that were coming up for Voltron Legendary Defender, including a mash-up collaboaration with online game, Puzzle and Dragons (available now), a Kids Meal Promotion with special Voltron Legendary Defender toys at Burger King (available now), Pidge's Birthday on April 3rd with a special Facebook LIVE Q&A with Bex Taylor-Klaus, the Voltron84 release of 12 hand-picked episodes of Voltron: Defender of the Universe on Netflix (available now), Sticker Packs for IOS (iPhone/iPad iMessage app), where you can send stickers to your friends through text messages, and a new mini-series of Voltron Legendary Defender Comics is coming from Lion Forge Comics on Wednesday, April 26th.

DC TV Classics took an extended break but like Young Justice, we are back! This time your hosts Keith Chow and Britney Monae are joined by special guest Desiree Rodriguez, a writer from sites such as Women Write About Comics, The Nerds of Color, and an editorial assistant for Lion Forge Comics. The three of them discuss the latest news concerning classic DC TV shows including the a 1990s Flash reunion on The CW (pics can be found at The Flash Podcast homepage) and why Keith wants a similar Smallville reunion on Supergirl. Speaking of Smallville, they also discuss Tom Welling's recently ended t-shirt campaign for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, which led to a lengthy discussion about Clark Kent and Superman and why Quentin Tarantino is completely wrong (it'll make sense once you listen). This show, however, is dedicated to the return of Young Justice. The trio spends the remainder of the podcast reminiscing about Young Justice and speculate what fans can expect now that the series has been resurrected for a third season.

Dani DeWald, Voltron Superfan and panel videographer at SDCC, joins Marc and Greg to review her coverage of the Voltron Legendary Defender panel at San Diego Comic-Con. We walk through the entire panel, and give commentary on all the clips, Q & A, and review the Season 1 Soundtrack that was recently released on iTunes. Plus, you need to listen closely to find out how to win variant cover copies of Voltron Legendary Defender #1 Comic, signed by authors Tim Hedrick and Mitch Iverson. The DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender panel at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) included panelists Joaquim Dos Santos (Executive Producer), Lauren Montgomery (C0-Executive Producer), and Tim Hedrick (Head Writer). A surprise panelist was added, which makes the audience go crazy! Steven Yeun, who plays Keith, Voltron paladin and pilot of Red Lion, was on the panel and shared his perspective of Season 1 of Voltron Legendary Defender. During the panel review, one of the Q & A questions was if we'd ever hear the original Voltron theme from 1984 used in the new show. Legally, they can't use the original theme in this show, and the producers let the audience know that you will not be hearing the original theme music in this show. So, now that this question is definitively laid to rest, let's celebrate the music of the first season of Voltron Legendary Defender, which is now available as a digital download on iTunes at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dreamworks-voltron-legendary/id1133408932 Thank you to the creator of the Voltron Legendary Defender theme, Alex Geringas, and the show's musical composers, Brad Breeck and Brian Parkhurst, for this wonderful album of music compiled from the first season of our favorite show on Netflix. Would you like to win 2 variant copies of Lion Forge's Voltron Legendary Defender #1 Comic Book, signed by authors Tim Hedrick and Mitch Iverson? We had the SDCC Exclusive Variant Cover and the other Variant Cover signed at SDCC by both Tim and Mitch and the Lion Forge Comics booth. Only 1 winner, and yes, you can be anywhere in the world and we'll ship them to you! To be eligible to have a random chance to win, you need to Tweet @LetsVoltron a picture of our "Let's Voltron: The Official Voltron Podcast" 8-bit logo or the name, "Let's Voltron" with some of your favorite Voltron gear.

Neil Kaplan (Emperor Zarkon in Voltron Legendary Defender) met up with us on the street at SDCC and told us the stories about some of the fans he interacted in line outside of the Voltron panel room 7 AB, and the fact that he and hundreds of fans did not get into the panel! Here's a picture Marc had with Neil: And here's a picture of the Space Mice stickers that people who asked questions at the panel were given as a thank you for their questions: And of course, the biggest piece of news on the planet is that we will be seeing Season 2 of Voltron Legendary Defender by Late 2016 on Netflix, according to the panelists at SDCC, and we can't wait!

True pro wrestling fans know all the ups and downs of his career and everyone else knows him as an ‘80s pop culture icon, the lovable giant in The Princess Bride. But few know the true life story behind the legend, a story more incredible than anything that could be concocted for a Pay-Per-View special. This is the story Lion Forge Comics is bringing to fans in the authorized graphic novel biography, Andre the Giant: Closer to Heaven. Eisner-nominated writer Brandon Easton (ThunderCats, Marvel's Agent Carter) charts Andre’s entire life story in an introspective first-person narrative he crafted with assistance from Andre’s daughter Robin Christensen-Roussimoff. The book opens on the idyllic farm in the French countryside where Andre spent his childhood and steadily weaves through his amateur early days in the squared circle, his rise to fame in TV, film, and Vince McMahon’s upstart WWF (now WWE), and the demons he collected along the way.
