Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew Rosenberg

We don't want to know your favorite Ninja Turtle. We want to know which Ninja Turtle is you. Which Ninja Turtle best represents your personality and behavior? Not everyone is comfortable answering the question, but Matthew Rosenberg gives it a go in our recent conversation at San Diego Comic-Con International, after a little nudge/encouragement. Matt Rosenberg will take over writing duties on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #25, after Gene Luen Yang and Fero Pe wrap up their current “City That Never Dies” storyline. Rosenberg is on a hot streak, writing both Spawn and King Spawn, as well as If Destruction Be Our Lot. Not to forget the eagerly anticipated cinematic adaptation of 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank hitting screens next year. He's the third writer to tackle the monthly Ninja Turtle series in three years, and he promises to bring a unique perspective to our favorite mutant brothers. First, his Turtles are going to war, and it's going to take them down nearly every New York City street. Streets Rosenberg knows exceptionally well as someone raised on them. Secondly, Rosenberg is a diehard Turtle fanatic, and he's been plotting possibilities for these characters since he was twelve or so. This week's podcast is our final 2026 San Diego Comic-Con episode. As we've done over the last few weeks, we've invited another podcaster onto the show to help us broaden our con coverage perspective. Today, we have Chris Hacker, co-host of The Oblivion Bar. Hacker found his way to Comic-Con only through the power of the comic book community, and we needed to take a moment to celebrate. Comic book people can get a bad rap, especially online, but Hacker's story shows the beauty that fellowship makes possible. Make sure you're following Matthew Rosenberg on his Substack, Podcast, Bluesky, and Instagram.. And follow The Oblivion Bar on Instagram and Bluesky.

 IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT, Robot Abe Lincoln, and the End of Humanity Wepaaaa, Crusaders! Today on the Comic Crusaders Podcast, Al Mega welcomes comic book writer and podcaster Matthew Rosenberg for a conversation about one of the strangest, funniest, and most emotionally charged new Image Comics books on the horizon: IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT… Created with Mark Elijah Rosenberg, Andy MacDonald, Francesco Segala, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, the series introduces readers to a world where humanity has vanished, but the robots that once served us continue their daily routines. The twist? One animatronic Abraham Lincoln believes there is more to existence than maintenance, repetition, and a society of machines pretending everything is fine. In this episode, Matthew dives into the origins of the idea, the emotional heart behind Abe's journey, collaborating with his brother Mark, and why this bizarre post-human world is really about purpose, loneliness, friendship, and hope. Al and Matthew also discuss creator-owned storytelling, the power of Image Comics, and how a robot Lincoln can somehow make you laugh one minute and question your entire existence the next. Comic fans, sci-fi lovers, and anyone who has ever wondered if their smart fridge is judging them should absolutely check this one out. IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT #1 is a big, bold, weird, heartfelt creator-owned launch that deserves a spot on your pull list.

One of the biggest comics announcements of San Diego Comic-Con was the reveal that Matthew Rosenberg will become the next ongoing writer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and this week he's here for his first in-depth interview about the series. Rosenberg opens up about initially turning down the job before IDW came calling a second time, why his run is inspired by the raw energy of the original Mirage comics, and how he plans to put the turtles through a relentless fight across New York City. We also discuss his love of Eastman and Laird's work, collaborating with artist Juann Cabal, bringing forgotten characters back into the spotlight, and why this story will embrace every corner of TMNT history while carving out its own identity.

Dave: Rocket Raccoon: Rocket Rewind #1 (Mike Mignola Cover) Alex: X-Men 34 Alexander Lozano '80s Colossus Variant Interview: Matthew Rosenberg talks taking over TMNT You described your run as "The Warriors meets Daredevil: Born Again" with plenty of action and humor mixed in. Those are some massive touchstones. What qualities from those stories became your creative north star for this new era of TMNT? Your story begins immediately after Gene Luen Yang's "The City That Never Dies" storyline, which sounds like it leaves the city fundamentally changed. How did Gene Luen Yang's finale create opportunities that wouldn't have existed otherwise? One of the biggest hooks is that the Turtles are being hunted over the course of a single night. What made that compressed timeline appealing, and how does it change the pacing compared to a more traditional TMNT story? You said the team hunting the Turtles is assembled specifically for this mission. Without spoiling who's involved, what makes this group uniquely equipped to challenge all four brothers at once? 10:59 Juann Cabal has shown he can handle kinetic action and expressive character work across Marvel and DC. What is it about his storytelling you're excited to see in TMNT?  You've mentioned your love for Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's Mirage Studios era. Were there specific themes or storytelling techniques from those early comics that you wanted to bring back for modern readers? Your comics often balance brutal action with sharp humor and strong character voices. How do you approach writing the Turtles so each brother feels distinct, especially when they're under constant pressure? You've written everything from street-level crime stories to huge superhero events. Where does TMNT fit creatively for you, and does it scratch a different storytelling itch than books like What's the Furthest Place From Here? or your Marvel work? You're taking over with issue #25, which already feels like a milestone. Looking ahead, what do you hope readers say about your TMNT run after they've finished that first story arc?

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are taking a look at two very different stories making waves in comics and streaming. First up is The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney Plus, the gritty new Marvel special starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle. Pulled back into a war he tried to leave behind, Castle finds himself facing old enemies, unfinished business, and one final mission soaked in violence and reckoning. We are breaking down whether Bernthal's return delivers the brutal intensity fans have been waiting for and how this story fits into Marvel's darker corner of the universe. Then we turn to If Destruction Be Our Lot #1 from Image Comics, written by Matthew Rosenberg and Mark Elijah Rosenberg with art by Andy MacDonald, colors by Francesco Segala, and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Set in a future where humanity is extinct and only the robots left behind remain, the story follows an animatronic Abraham Lincoln named Abe who begins questioning the empty routine of a machine-run world. Blending existential sci-fi and dark humor, the oversized debut explores what it means to keep searching for something more when everything else is gone.

Welcome to AIPT Comics Podcast Episode 382! This week, we're joined by Absolute Catwoman writer Che Grayson to dive deep into one of DC's most exciting new series. We discuss reimagining Selina Kyle for the Absolute Universe, blending espionage and cyberpunk influences, exploring Catwoman's Afro-Cuban heritage, and what makes this version of Gotham's greatest thief unlike any that came before.

Dave: Daredevil #3 (Alexander Lozano Cover) Alex: X-Men #31 Alex Ross Marvel Dimensions variant Interview: Che Grayson - Absolute Catwoman - Out June 10th Absolute Catwoman hits the ground running with a fast pace and a globe-trotting setup. What was your approach to making this version of Selina feel immediately distinct from page one? This Selina feels very self-made, with high-tech gear and a life she's built outside Gotham. What interested you about exploring her at that stage in her life? The Absolute Universe already introduced Selina in Absolute Batman. How did you approach taking an established version of the character and expanding her into her own series? Speaking of collaboration, how do you and Scott split the writing duties? Are you breaking story together, or does one of you take the lead in certain areas? Bengal's art really sells the motion and the tech, especially in action scenes. How closely are you working with him in terms of visual storytelling, and were there any sequences you were especially excited to see him bring to life? The Calicos are a really intriguing addition, with that more classic Catwoman-inspired look. What can you tease about their role in Selina's past and how they shape who she is now? This version of Selina has some bold new elements, including her enhanced gear and abilities. Without spoiling too much, how far are you planning to push what Catwoman can be in the Absolute Universe?

Welcome to Four Records! Each episode, we feature one guest as they go over four records at four different times in their life. This week, Forrest speaks with Matthew Rosenberg, the creator of the comics like What's The Furthest Place From Here, We're Taking Everyone Down With Us, and his newest book If Destruction Be Out Lot. Starting in June, Matt will be taking over writing duties on Spawn and King Spawn for Image Comics.    Matthew Rosenberg's Four Records:   0-10: Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water  Teenage: Faith No More - King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime Twenties: Avail - Over The James Recent Record: Skinhead - Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt    Listen on Podbean Listen on YouTube Listen on Spotify LIsten on Apple Podcasts Listen on Amazon Music Listen on iHeartRadio   Follow us on Instagram Email: fourrecordspodcast@gmail.com www.DyingScene.com   Opening song: Rad Skulls – Loud as Shit   Closing song: Lucas Perea – Underneath Ashes

Well, this is a surprise. Todd McFarlane returns to the podcast to discuss why he's suddenly switching up the creative rosters on several Spawn universe titles. Starting with issue 376, friend of the show Matthew Rosenberg will script alongside artist Stephen Segovia. Roseberg will also serve as writer on the sibling series, King Spawn, with Thomas Nachlik on art. In Gunslinger Spawn #54, writer Erica Schultz joins returning artist Carlo Barberi. And starting today, She-Spawn #1 launches with Gail Simone as writer and Ig Guara as artist. He's said it before, and he states it emphatically on this week's show: Todd McFarlane sees Spawn as his creative child, and as all parents want for their kids, Todd hopes to see him live long after he's gone. To secure that reality, he needs to let go of the reins. So, today, he's reflecting on his favorite comics and how regime changes propelled those books into legend. Before all that, however, we banter back and forth about this past weekend's Free Comic Book Day, and the awe-inspiring Charity Sketch Cover Auction Four Color Fantasies pulled off on Saturday, raising nearly $12,000 for the Literacy Volunteers of the Winchester Area. We discuss how we took that radical energy and moved it into our Comic Book Club on Sunday, and then work both events into the theme of community and how it bolsters the comic book industry, which leads directly into what Todd McFarlane is doing with his baby, Spawn. This week, it's all about the power of comics. Todd McFarlane details why he's always happy to have others play in his playground, how he still has an ending for Spawn even though he never wants to use it, and why there are nuances to that tired artist vs. writer debate. Spawn #376 arrives in shops from Image Comics on June 3rd, with Final Order Cutoff happening this upcoming Monday, the 11th.  If you want to continue our discussion with Todd McFarlane, you can find him on BlueSky and Instagram, as well as his Website.

Today I'm joined by returning guest comics writer Matthew Rosenberg, who I'm christening the hardest promoting man in comics, to chat about his new Images Comics series If Destruction Be Our Lot and taking over writing duties from the Toddfather on the longest running creator owned series of all time, Spawn. Conversation highlights include * Matthew discussing the coincidental timing of his back-to-back robot-centric projects What's the Furthest Place From Here? and If Destruction Be Our Lot and how they serve as a conversation or rebuttal to his previous comic book themes. * Collaborating on a writing project with his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg and their wildly different tastes and influences. * Why a robotic Abraham Lincoln was the perfect nucleus for a story about loneliness and the breakdown of human connection. * Why comics are the perfect responsive medium to address making a statement about our rapidly changing world. * Taking over Spawn and the unique challenge of legacy. If Destruction Be Our Lot From the publisher Humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us.The robots who once helped us are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe. He believes there must be something more out there. After nearly getting killed, he's determined to wander the Earth until he finds it—or gets recycled trying.

At the time of the scheduling the interview, it was announced that Matthew will be passed the torch as head writer for the Iconic series Spawn from the one and only Todd McFarlane which we get into later in the Podcast.If Destruction be our Lot for Image Comics brings forth a post human society where the Robots created by humanity now run the world. We meet Abe (a robotic Abraham Lincoln) from a museum programmed to orate the history of one of our greatest presidents. With Humanity gone, the world happier for the rest of automation, but lonely for Abe. We ask: Are Humans truly extinct in this world? Is Abe conflicted with the loss of humans a parody of Humanity since the robot is designed to understand the history of a world that was molded by the former president? Does Abe's journey mimic Abraham Lincoln life his failures as well as his successes to show robots what they are without the Humans. Also, Matthew teams with his brother Mark to handle construction of this excellent series.FOC 4/13Debuts 5/6/26Matthew and Mark Elijah Rosenberg as Co-writersArtwork by Andy McDonaldColors by Francesco SegalaLetters by Hassan Otmane-Elhaou

On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by Matthew Rosenberg to talk about one of the most ambitious creator-owned books on the horizon: If Destruction Be Our Lot. For a story about the end of humanity, this one is surprisingly full of life. We dig into how the series came together, from its strange and instantly compelling premise of a robotic Abraham Lincoln wandering a post-human world, to the deeper themes driving it. Rosenberg opens up about how the book grew out of his own creative evolution, how it responds to the current moment for artists, and why this isn't a bleak dystopia so much as a story about connection, purpose, and trying to find meaning when the system no longer makes sense. We also get into the craft behind it all, including the long development process, the collaboration with his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg, and why artist Andy Macdonald might be doing some of the most exciting work in comics right now. Of course, we also talk Spawn and what it means to step into that world, but the heart of this conversation is If Destruction Be Our Lot and why it might be Rosenberg's most personal and layered work yet.

#LyndonRadchenka #InfiniteStudio #TheLaundrymen #ThereWasAnotherLife #HeroMan #InfiniteUniverse #IndieComics #ComicsLettering #CanadianComics #MonsterHunters #SupernaturalMysteries #ComicKickstarter #SequentialMagazineAwards #StorycomicPresents #CreatorInterview   In this episode of Storycomic Presents, I'm joined by writer, award-winning letterer, and “sometimes, but not-right-now” lawyer Lyndon Radchenka, co-founder of Infinite Studio. From Winnipeg to the wider comics world, Lyndon has built a catalog that includes Infinite Universe, Hero-Man, What Will Not Last, There Was Another Life, and the horror-comedy series The Laundrymen. We dig into The Laundrymen, Infinite Studio's flagship series about two mercenary monster hunters who solve supernatural mysteries out of a laundromat—a book described as perfect for fans of Ghostbusters, The X-Files, and Supernatural, and praised by creators like Scott Snyder, Ramón Pérez, Matthew Rosenberg, GMB Chomichuk, and Mitch Gerads. We also talk about There Was Another Life, Lyndon's monster-filled sci-fi series following Sterling Harcourt, the only known survivor of a world-shattering blast, and how that book moved from indie roots to Source Point Press. Along the way, Lyndon shares how Infinite Studio began as an art collective with illustrator Steven Kaul, what it means to be a two-time Sequential Magazine Award winner for Favourite Letterer, and why he loves bouncing between writing scripts, lettering other people's books, and talking to readers at Canadian cons. The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

In a special year end episode of Off Panel, we look at the defining themes of 2025 in comics with the help of retailer Steve Anderson from Third Eye Comics, The Beat's Heidi MacDonald, and writer Matthew Rosenberg.  Up first is Anderson (1:37), whose theme is the impact of DC's Absolute line, as we discuss the Image Revolution of it all, unlocking the cool, the area of effect it's had on other comics, good times he sees on the horizon, how new readers are behaving, why Absolute has popped, how creators and publishers can capitalize on this, and more.  After that is MacDonald (32:22), whose theme was the lack of new characters in direct market comics, as we discuss why that's a problem, the most successful new(ish) characters, recycling existing ideas, why it's a 2025 theme, attempts to make new characters happen, what's lost without them, marketing struggles, what needs to happen, and more.  And to close is Rosenberg (1:06:59), whose theme is how comics are running behind the rest of pop culture, as we discuss the inferiority complex in comics, the cost that comes with this lag, the importance of cool, how this can change, how the market factors into this, and more.

Total THB has always felt like a living piece of your imagination—something that evolved alongside you. Now that you're returning to it after thirty years, what does it mean to finally see it presented as the definitive version you always envisioned?7. In your introduction, you mention artists like Bruegel, Motherwell, and Rodin alongside Kirby, Moebius, and Miyazaki. That's a fascinating cross-section of influences—how do you see Total THB sitting at the intersection of those worlds now?2. In your introduction, you talk about the seed idea—“small things exploding into big things.” How has that core concept shaped your storytelling and visual philosophy across your entire career, and how does it feel to return to it now with decades of experience behind you?8. Total THB is set on a divided Mars, a world of art versus bureaucracy, chaos versus control. Given how global politics and culture have evolved since the '90s, do you see new relevance—or new warnings—in the story's setting and themes?5. The relationship between HR and THB—the sheltered daughter and her enigmatic bodyguard—feels both intimate and mythic. How do you see their dynamic now, and what new layers do you hope readers discover in this remastered edition?6. You've described superheroes before as modern myths — figures that blend pulp with poetry. Having moved between corporate superhero universes and your own creator-owned worlds, what do you think mainstream superhero comics could still learn from the spirit of self-publishing that birthed THB*?*

Joe, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, plus a whole mess more!

It's not about the plot. That's why Matthew Rosenberg was not worried about spoiling it all in the solicits for We're Taking Everyone Down With Us, his new Image Comics series done in collaboration with artist Stefano Landini, colorists Roman Titov and Jason Wordie, letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and designer Becca Carey. For the writer, the comic is everything surrounding the narrative: character, emotion, theme, style, etc. AKA, the perfect Comic Book Couples Counseling comic. The first issue of the new sci-fi spy thriller releases this Wednesday (March 26th) and celebrates numerous influences, but it's sharpened into something extraordinarily fresh. The tropes will be familiar to any James Bond obsessive, but We're Taking Everyone Down With Us shifts the perspective from problematic double o to the child of one of his greatest mad scientist rivals. Thirteen-year-old Annalise merely wants more time with her father, but he's too busy plotting earthly destruction in his lab. So, she's stuck with her robot babysitters. We're Taking Everyone Down With Us starts with a bang, and it reveals a whole new world to the child, and that revelation will become quite the problem for any wannabe James Bond lurking in the plot. Matthew Rosenberg makes his CBCC podcast debut, and we're eager to discuss the inspirations behind We're Taking Everyone Down With Us and his relationship with super spy melodrama. We also discuss the personal saga behind the story, our frustration with spoiler culture, and why no artistic expression feels as good as comic book collaboration. Stay current on Matthew Rosenberg by following his Substack, Podcast, Bluesky, and Instagram. This week's episode is sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading!
