Thomas Skelton has spent years building the mythology, music, characters, and cosmic world behind The Last Saijin.In this episode of the United States Department of Nerds Podcast, The Chairman sits down with Thomas to explore the story of Sai and Jin, two brothers connected to a much larger conflict involving gods, destiny, and the balance of the universe.Thomas explains what a Saijin is, the meaning behind the name, and how concepts including Saijin Force, karma, balance, and time became foundations of the mythology.The conversation also explores the creative influences behind The Last Saijin, including Dragon Ball, Star Wars, Invincible, Japanese manga, anime, and American comics, and how Thomas works to transform those influences into an original universe of his own.But The Last Saijin didn't begin as a comic.It began with music.Thomas takes us back to StrawberryMoon, formerly known as Auspicious, and the ambitious science-fiction concept that helped create the lore that eventually became The Last Saijin. Now that relationship has started working in reverse—the music inspired the comic, and the comic is beginning to inspire new music.We also discuss Thomas's experience as an independent musician, what those years taught him about creating and promoting independent work, and his vision for Last Leg Entertainment as a place where creators can collaborate while maintaining ownership of their work.Finally, Thomas discusses putting The Last Saijin into readers' hands, its physical and digital releases, what comes next for Sai and Jin, and the future of the universe he's building.Read & Follow The Last SaijinOfficial Site:https://www.thelastsaijinhq.com/GlobalComix:https://globalcomix.com/c/the-last-saijin-1Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thelastsaijinhq/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566852425747Protect Your Collection With BCW SuppliesShop BCW Supplies:https://www.bcwsupplies.com/?acc=usdnUse code USDN for 10% off your order.Affiliate Disclosure: USDN may earn a small commission if you use our affiliate link or code.

Comic creator Tommy Huls joins The Chairman on the United States Department of Nerds Podcast to discuss Kingsville, World at War Comics, independent comics, creator-owned publishing, and crowdfunding.Tommy Huls has spent years interviewing comic creators through World at War Comics. Now, the interviewer becomes the interviewee as Tommy takes us inside the creation and evolution of Kingsville.Kingsville is a superhero comic built around global power, political conflict, and Sycodone, a rare resource capable of making superhuman abilities possible.As the Alliance for Global Safety grows in influence, the small nation of Kingsville controls the resource everyone wants. What begins as cooperation becomes a struggle over power, security, sovereignty, and control.Tommy takes us inside the creation and evolution of Kingsville, Rodrigo's moral conflict within AGS, lessons learned producing his own comic book, and why Kingsville Issue #1 entered a new stage with Critical Entertainment.We also turn the microphone around on one of indie comics' most prolific interviewers.Through World at War Comics, Tommy has spent hundreds of episodes speaking with independent comic creators, writers, artists, publishers, industry veterans, and some of the biggest names in comics. We discuss what those conversations taught him about building something that lasts and how becoming a comic creator changed the way he interviews other creators.The conversation also explores the realities facing independent comics, including crowdfunding, comic book distribution, reaching new readers, working with comic shops, and why great creator-owned comics can still struggle to find an audience.At the time of this interview, Kingsville Issue #1 was in the final stretch of its Kickstarter campaign. That campaign has now concluded, but the conversation provides an inside look at the artwork, covers, rewards, crowdfunding strategy, and what reader support could make possible for the future of the series.The interviewer became the creator. Now the microphone turns around.Topics Covered• The creation and evolution of Kingsville • Tommy Huls and World at War Comics • The origins of Sycodone and the Alliance for Global Safety • Rodrigo and the moral conflict inside AGS • Creating and publishing independent comics • Comic book lettering and production • Crowdfunding and Kickstarter comics • Kingsville Issue #1 and its Kickstarter campaign • Kingsville and Critical Entertainment • Lessons from hundreds of comic creator interviews • Becoming a comic creator after years as an interviewer • Building relationships in the comic book industry • Reaching readers with independent comics • Comic shops and comic book distribution • Creator-owned comics and independent publishing • The future of KingsvilleFollow World at War Comics

In this bonus episode of Black and Snerdy, Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome Jamie Broadnax, founder and editor of Black Girl Nerds, for a conversation that traces the site's origin back to a 2012 Google search that returned nothing representative of Black women in nerd spaces. Broadnax walks through her path from journalism student to established cultural interviewer, the early business mistakes that reshaped how she runs Black Girl Nerds, and a reversed stance on going it alone that pushed her toward collaboration and community building. The three also dig into her decision to stop undervaluing her own worth in negotiations, inspired by Shonda Rhimes' The Year of Yes, which turns into the episode's recurring refrain to pay Black women and triple whatever the number is. From there the group breaks down what separates a healthy fandom from a toxic one, pointing to the Black fan community around House of the Dragon as a bright spot while calling out the fallout around the Harry Potter franchise's creator, misconceptions about Black cosplayers and roller derby skaters, and the influence of organizations like Black Girl Gamers and Black Girls Code.The episode closes with a run of segments covering first fandoms, with Broadnax naming X-Men, Mo naming Star Wars, and Ode naming Star Trek and Captain Sisko, along with Broadnax's approach to protecting her mental health through League of Legends and a Black Girl Nerds book club pick called Sista Samurai. During We Big Mad, Broadnax vents about missing an Odyssey press screening, Ode rants about New York City event planners skipping air conditioning during a heat wave, and Mo goes after the trend of AI-generated real life versions of Simba, Chucky, and Kim Possible, tying it back to Netflix's use of AI to recreate Gene Wilder's voice. The hosts wrap with what is making them happy, including X-Men '97, House of the Dragon live chats on Threads, and a trip to Baltimore for crabs and family, before Broadnax plugs blackgirlnerds.com and a meetup planned for San Diego Comic-Con.Website: www.blackgirlnerds.comTwitter: @BlackGirlNerds Facebook: www.facebook.com/blackgirlnerdsYouTube: https://bit.ly/2Ku2yoEInstagram: www.instagram.com/blackgirlnerdsPodcastiTunes ChannelSubstack: @blackgirlnerdsConnect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy

From a simple idea to a huge milestone: Welcome to Episode 600 of The Disney Nerds Podcast!   In this landmark episode, Jimmy Lisa and Ed are taking a look back at where it all began. We dive deep into the origin story of the podcast sharing the spark that brought us together, the early days of setting up the mics, and the pure passion for the mouse that started this incredible journey. But a lot can happen while you're making 600 episodes. To celebrate, we are looking at how our favorite vacation destination has transformed alongside us. We look back at everything that has been brought to Walt Disney World over the last 13 years. From the bioluminescent wonders of Pandora: The World of Avatar and the immersive depths of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, to game-changing additions like the Disney Skyliner, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle / Run, we track the massive evolution of the parks since we first hit "record."   Most importantly, this episode is a love letter to the community that built us. Six hundred shows wouldn't be possible without the incredible village behind the mics. We want to extend our deepest, most heartfelt thanks to all of our past guests who shared their expertise, our phenomenal co-hosts who bring the magic to every single recording, and most of all; YOU, our listeners. Whether you've been with us since Episode 1 or you're just tuning in for the first time today, your support, messages, and shared love for Disney are the reason we keep doing this. Grab your headphones, pull up a chair, and join us as we celebrate 600 episodes of talking Disney, sharing laughs, and making memories. Here's to the next 600!
