This week in Episode 449, I have a fun interview with creator Mike Maihack from Cleopatra in Space, a wonderful Indie series of graphic novels that recently released the sixth and concluding book called “Queen of the Nile!” It’s described this way: “The time has come for Cleo to fulfill the ancient prophecy that declares her a savior and a hero, a prophecy she still struggles to accept. Cleo is joined by both old and new friends as they fight to defend the galaxy she's come to call home against the evil Xaius Octavian. The Queen of the Nile must summon the strength to face down her enemy one last time, and keep her friends -- and herself -- alive. Now a TV series on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock!” Mike and I discuss how this series came to be, how the various characters were made, and what it’s like to have an animated series debut based on your own concepts! We also discuss what we might be seeing from Mike in the near future, so don’t miss this discussion with a creator I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about in the coming months. You can buy Mike’s books at this link on Amazon and you can see the animated show on the Peacock streaming service here.

It’s a great week here at the podcast, so it’s time for another great conversation! In Episode 448, it’s the return of David Pepose, the writer of Going to the Chapel and Spencer and Locke, two wonderful comics you can order through your local comics shop! During this discussion, we talk about his very first Kicksarter, and it’s for The O.Z. #1, which you can support at this link! Here’s the book’s description: “Haunted by her past, a disillusioned Iraq war veteran must survive the war-torn land of Oz.” Of course, the O.Z. stands for the “occupied zone,” which is something we talk about. David and I discuss his take on these familiar characters and some of what he has in store for them. He’s taken Kickstarter by storm as well, having passed 400% of his original goal recently (and he’s got three weeks more to go, too). We delve into how long he’s been working on this project, who the art team he’s assembled is, and what else he’s working on! David is one of those great up-and-coming comics creators you should keep up with, so don’t miss this fun conversation!

In the last few episodes we’ve talked about picking the right cards and colors while drafting Magic. Today’s episode is an advanced topic, but one that even beginning drafters can utilize. It’s the idea of sending and receiving signals during drafting. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP.

Following the BREAD model introduced in the last episode will take you a long way as a beginning drafter, but there are a few more important considerations, and knowing when to commit to your deck's colors is one of them.

As I’ve said in the past two episodes, it’s not always easy to know what cards to pick while drafting. Obviously you want to pick the best cards, but how do you know which are the best? There is no substitute for experience. Short of that, though, there is a simple acronym to remember. Bread! B. R. E. A. D.

The strategy for drafting is similar to picking teams for kickball. The general rule is that you pick the best player you can one at a time, the other captain then gets to pick the next best and so on and so forth.
