All the names on the cover of Welcome to Twilight: From the World of Minor Threats #2 join us for the show this week to talk about working through new story developments as they come, whether it's intimidating to come into a universe with so many elements already built in, depicting flashbacks visually, fast food, and a whole lot more!We make our show on Zencastr, and you can too! Follow this link to sign up now!
This interview kicks off with absolute chaos and doesn't slow down until the credits roll. Brian Michael "B-Money" Bendis and Soo Lee join Dan to talk about WELCOME TO TWILIGHT Issue #2. This is their first installment in the Minor Threats Universe! We dig into their issue, their new characters, and so much more in our extremely fun chat. Oh also, Bendis talks about the time he signed a living breathing dog, but he had NOTHING to do with the CGC grading! WELCOME TO TWILIGHT is the first anthology series from the world of Minor Threats that lines up absolute superstar teams to tell stories set through the Minor Threats Universe. In Issue 2, A brand-new character so dangerous she was never spoken of until now. Find out her connections to the past and how they're gonna affect the future of the city. Co-created by the creator of the Peabody-winning Jessica Jones and the Bram Stoker (Not Stroker, that's a very different and much sexier award show which we talk about) award-winning co-creator of Carmilla, Soo Lee! Soo Lee talks about the design of the new character Dokkaebi with her own heritage and anime influences. As someone who is an expert on the Minor Threats universe, she is my favorite addition since Crab Louie. She fits so well, and I cannot wait to see where she goes from this absolutely STELLAR introduction WELCOME TO TWILIGHT. Bendis discusses his return not only to writing cape comics but also to writing comics in a shared space like this. He discusses how inspiring the duo of Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum is as someone who loves collaborating with people. We all spend a lot of time gushing over Minor Threats, and I am not sorry about it. If you aren't reading the Minor Threats line... You're missing out on the absolute ultimate thing in comics.

We are no strangers to the Minor Threats universe that Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt, and Scott Hepburn created. We've spoken to them a few times about the world, but now we are chatting with the creator of the newest spinoff, The Brood. Heath Corson, I.N.J. Culbard, and Nate Piekos bring a tale of fatherhood, legacy, and connection to a cape setting with the utmost vulnerability in its storytelling. Listen as Heath and Dan discuss the book's themes, sandwiches, and more. We were lucky enough to read the final issue of the series, which ties everything together in one of the best conclusions in a comic. It is a testament to the strength of the Minor Threats line to tell big stories in a familiar caped setting while never sacrificing storytelling. From the world of the hit Minor Threats series comes a family drama starring the planet's most feared villains. Napoleon Archimedes is the archnemesis of The Searcher, and he's fought her to a standstill for over four decades in the futuristic metropolis of Meteor Falls. But now, as he confronts his mortality, he's forced to name a successor from his three extraordinary children: Athena, Benjamin, and Spookshow. Each brilliant, cunning ... and unlucky enough to be the child of the world's greatest supervillain. See, Napoleon believed he was smart enough to have it all: Raise a family AND conquer the world. Then he thought: Why not combine them? Take the kids on as partners. Create a dynasty... None of it went according to plan. Who will rise above the betrayal, failure, and dysfunction to seize the family business? Join us for an unlikely coming-of-age story that wrestles with the concussions and repercussions of getting raised by a once-in-a-generation criminal mind. Think your father is manipulative, cold, and demanding...? Wait until you meet Napoleon.
Kyle Starks has become a standout voice in independent comics, known for his distinctive comedic storytelling and energetic art style that blends humor with action-packed narratives.

He may be best known for his 48-issue run on Rick and Morty for Oni Press, but new projects are rolling out all the time, including a spin-off of Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum's comic Minor Threats called From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly with artist Ryan Browne.You can follow Kyle on Instagram @thekylestarks, check out his website kylestarks.com, or connect with him on Bluesky @thekylestarks.bsky.social for updates on his latest projects and artistic adventures.____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Jace and Rocky chat about some of their favorite indie titles for the week of December 11, 2024. Brood is an excellent addition to the Minor Threats universe drawing inspiration from stories like Succession and Royal Tenenbaums.

Jace welcomes Heath Corson back to the show to talk about his series set in the Minor Threats universe, Brood. Jordan Blum joins also as a first time guest and talks about the conception of the Minor Threats universe conceived by himself and Patton Oswalt. The guys get into the impetus of the Brood series and how it is partially inspired by Heath's own family life and childhood and the Wes Anderson cult classic The Royal Tennebaums. Telling the story of Napoleon Archimedes, one of the premiere villains in the world of Minor Threats and his children who he hopes will carry on his legacy. Unfortunately, they don't quite live up to his hopes or do they and Archimedes just can't see it. An incredible cast and superb characterizaion make this a worthy addition to the world of Minor Threats. Add in detailed art from I.N.J Culbard and you have a must-read series.
The Yeti Cave is packed on this episode of the Cryptid Creator Corner. Jimmy chats with Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt, Heath Corson, and I.N.J. Culbard about the upcoming The Brood, part of the Minor Threats Universe. The Brood is the story of supervillain Napoleon Archimedes, nemesis to superhero The Searcher, as he faces his own mortality and must choose which of his children will be his successor. During the episode, Patton said that Heath approached Jordan and Patton with the elevator pitch that was basically what if it's Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor but he's Gene Hackman's character in The Royal Tenenbaums. All of the comics in the Minor Threats Universe have been fantastic and The Brood is no exception. This is such a great episode listening to the team talk about the story and characters, how Heath prepared for the pitch, and how I.N.J. works to keep the emotionality of the characters consistent. Plus, listen to Jimmy keep trying to get Heath to talk about his DC book Bizarro that he wrote with artist Gustavo Duarte.

But his “help” has left nothing but destruction all through Metropolis, and now the citizens want him out! Sounds like a job for Jimmy Olsen! He'll lure Bizarro out of the city for good by escorting him on a road trip to “Bizarro America” (a.k.a. Canada), then return to Metropolis a hero and write a best-selling coffee table book about their journey. But to get to the border, the duo will first have to contend with chupacabras, ghosts and used car salesmen!

C.O.W.L. was your firs creator-owned at Image, but since that launched you've got the Massive-verse roaring, how have you changed working on projects since C.O.W.L. was first launched?Its been 9 years since you've explored the world of COWL with Alec Siegel and Rod Reis, why was now the right time to launch COWL 1964?I feel like COWL is a compelling look at the politics of superheroes, under the guise of the 60s, have the current politics of today influenced this upcoming series?Back when COWL vol. 1 came out Entertainment Weekly said it was “"Mad Men meets Heroes in '60s Chicago." With those references dated and COWL 1964 a different project, how might you describe the upcoming series using TV references?For a reader who may think the 60s isn't their bag, how might you pitch COWL 1964 to them?You've collaborated with a lot of great writers and artists, including Mat Groom, Joe Clark and now Bear McCreary & Kid Cudi. Any tips for working with a co-writer?I know you love to play around with different media formats for the Massiveverse, and that's continuing with the audiobook version of Radiant Black. What made an audiobook the best format?

Are you ready to meet our new favorite henchman, Barfly? Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt, Kyle Starks, and Ryan Browne are eager to make introductions. Their new series, spun "from the world of Minor Threats," drills even deeper into the philosophical pursuit initiated by the original run that began two years ago. The lowliest punk in Twilight City has a rich inner life, and he'd love to share it with you if you can set aside your primordial revulsion toward sh*teaters. You don't need to browse long on the rack before encountering another comic deconstructing the superhero genre. Ever since 1986, every creator, it seems, wants to put forth their subversive effort, but Minor Threats avoids the usual cynical choices, embracing Silver Age nonsense and the joys that come with it. Minor Threats and its latest spin-off, Barfly, showcase tremendous humanity, using absurdity to expose genuine pain and triumph. The sincerity marks Minor Threatsas the most exciting superhero universe since Astro City. We're downright chuffed to have Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt, and Kyle Starks back on the podcast. Together, we question the name thrust upon our protagonist, his possible desire to be more than a henchman, and whether those seeking to be masterminds are driven or simply delusional. Also, does Superman go to the bathroom? At least one participant in our conversation has powerful feelings about that. From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly #1 is published by Dark Horse Comics and arrives in comic shops on July 10th. It's written by Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt, and Kyle Starks. Ryan Browne illustrated and colored it, and Nate Piekos lettered it. Continue this conversation by following Patton Oswalt on Twitter, Instagram, and his Website.

Writer Jordan Blum returns to the podcast to talk about all things Minor Threats - his Dark Horse series co-created by Patton Oswalt and Scott Hepburn - including the newest volume Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down. But first, how long has it been since Jordan's been on Comics and Chronic? Was Minor Threats partly inspired by a Batman story Patton Oswalt had? Does the creative team of Minor Threats love villains? Did they only expect to create 4 issues of the series? Is Playtime a cooler version of Toyman? Is the title of the comic based on the punk band Minor Threat? How and why did they choose the analogues/amalgams of the characters in Minor Threats? How did Jordan approach crafting these villains?

How does Scott create scenes that can only be done on a comic page? Does colorist Ian Herring color pages to look like different eras of comics? Does his colors help Minor Threats feel less computerized and more like a traditional superhero book? Are there any plans to expand Minor Threats outside of comics? How did this team use corner boxes to help tell the story? Who are The Alternates and how did Tim Seeley join the Minor Threats team on this series? How did the Vertigo books of the 90s influence The Alternates? Is Gail Simone writing a Crab Louie one-shot? Are Kyle Starks and Ryan Browne working on a Barfly series?
