We continue to celebrate the life of the legendary cartoonist John Cassaday who tragically died on September 9th. He was one of Jimmy's closest friends. Jimmy shares some stories of their friendship and adventures. He also asked some of John's friends/colleagues to send in their memories of him as well. They talk about his incredible body of work, how they met, fun times together and more. Thanks so much to Ben Raab, Paul Pope, Heidi MacDonald, CB Cebulski, John Layman, Fabio Moon, Laura Martin, Michael Avon Oeming, Lorraine Cink, Nick Barrucci, Dean Haspiel, Marta Balusek and Producer Joe for sharing their reflections on John. This is an emotional and raw episode but also full of love and light. We all love and miss him terribly. We were all lucky to have him in our lives. His legacy will keep his energy around us eternally. Thanks for listening.

Peter Miligan y la pareja de los Allred nos presentan una de las series más rompedoras de la historia de Marvel. Una propuesta muy diferente, que nos presenta al grupo conocido como X-Force, pero conformado por los mutantes con los poderes más ridículos y grotescos que existen, que lejos de ser un grupo heróico, son las nuevas estrellas en auge de los medios. Una serie que satiriza y lleva al extremo a los medios, y al mundo de los famosos, así como a los equipos de superhéroes, que no estuvo exenta de polémicas, y que viene aderezada con el espectacular arte pop de Mike Allred y artistas como Paul Pope o Darwyn Cooke.

Además pasaremos por toda la actualidad del mundo del cómic, nuevos eventos y firmas, además de los próximos avances editoriales. Y os traeremos una dosis cargada de reseñas de novedades, como lo nuevo de Jordi Lafebre con Soy Su Silencio, la Patrull-X de Ed Brubaker, lo último de X-O Manowar, un western muy llamativo con Veneno, el rescate de Joker: El Hombre que ríe y muchísimo más.

Yes, we skipped 82, due to some technical errors with the recording rendering, our apologies! BUT! Thanks for tuning in to the conclusion of the Sci-FI month here on Make Mine Paperback! The final discussion on the topic is on Heavy Liquid, written and drawn by Paul Pope. No discussion on science fiction would be complete without mentioning cyberpunk, so this comic was handpicked to fill that void. Paul Pope is an expert at using artwork to tell a story, and this comic is a perfect example of his drawing skills. In addition to amazing imagery, this book manages to tell a compelling story! The comic reads like an instruction manual for the many uses of Heavy Liquid: explosive, sculpting clay, and psychedelic drug. Listen in, as the guys try to figure out what the story means and who the real star of the comic is! As a bonus, we list the many reasons coffee pairs so well with comics!

Enjoy this episode of 22 Panels with Paul Pope!Consider becoming a patron!
This week, we're going back to the future, as the Dark Knight wages a crusade against a fascist police state in Paul Pope's Batman: Year 100. Released in 2006, Year 100 is a window into the anxieties of the Bush years, as well as a thrilling starting point for exploring urban legends, folk heroes, and cyberpunk as methods for resisting authoritarianism.

Hudson & Rex's two-legged lead, John Reardon, joins Bill Brioux in conversation prior to the start of Season Five. The new season begins Sunday, Sept. 25 on Citytv and it's a big one with 20 new episodes. Guest stars? Road trips? Season Five has both. Murdoch Mysteries fans will spot Daniel Maslany crossing Rex's path. There's also a two-part storyline taking place not in St. John's, where the series is set, but in Northern Ontario.Reardon, a Halifax native, played football for Mt. Allison before venturing into acting. His credits prior to Hudson & Rex include Vancouver productions Continuum and Arctic Air. He even survived an early stint on Trailer Park Boys!It did seem pre-ordained that he would eventually star on Hudson & Rex; he and his wife welcomed their first born -- named Hudson -- just days before he was offered the part.The new season will pick up the will-they or won't they romantic storyline between his detective character Charile and Sarah (Mayko Nguyen). Will they share custody of doggie detective Rex (Diesel vom Burgimwald)?Reardon also talks about the sudden loss last April of Paul Pope, the executive producer who was a major force in the Newfoundland film and TV industry. "It's amazing how many people on the show got their start from Paul," says Reardon.As for John's all-time favourite TV theme song, you kinda had to figure he would pick music from another show about a dog. Listen for that at the end of this episode.

This week we sit down to discuss the art and influence of Neal Adams from our own perspectives from interactions with him and collecting of his work, as well as being joined via voice messages by Jock, Lee Bermejo, Jason Fabok, Paul Pope, and Doug Mahnke, who offered their thoughts and perspectives as influential comic artists inspired and affected by the art and artist's rights efforts of Mr Adams that changed the industry.
We dive into Heavy Liquid, written and drawn by Paul Pope! An early Vertigo book and a stepping stone that helped launch his career.
Paul Pope, one of the key builders of the TV and film industry in Newfoundland and Labrador passed away last week. We hear from his good friend, Alan Hawco.
This week marks the 100th episode of Quarantined Comics — so we wanted something SO epic, but instead we just picked TWO comics with the number 100 in the titles: 100% + Batman Year 100 - by Eisner-award-winning wunderkind Paul Pope In 2006 - DC decided to tell yet another tale of Batman in a far off dystopian feature - with Batman Year 100. The year is 2039 in Gotham City, but NOT the Gotham we know and love from the mainstream DC Universe, but rather Paul Pope's universe of continuity from his hit series Heavy Liquid. The Batman, is but a a forgotten icon from the past, is wanted for the murder of a federal agent. Amid the chaos Gotham City Police Detective Gordon, grandson of the former commissioner, discovers that the man they are chasing shouldn't exist at all. And before that, 2002 - Paul Pope released 100% - re-visiting his same Heavy Liquid Universe of his previous work - in an alternate future New York. But gone are the criminal conspiracies — 100% simply focuses on the intertwining struggles and relationships of six characters — surrounding a seedy strip club, no holds bar boxing matches, and a manipulative art scene...with tea kettles? Across much of his indie, alternative work - also including books like Heavy Liquid and Battling Boy - Paul Pope has become known for a unique, emotionally charged style. His stories often present a futuristic world where everything is seedy, technology is ubiquitous, and privacy is pretty much a thing of the past Soooo...contemporary historical fiction

SLOW CITY BLUES is an ongoing series following Detective John Loris, who gets trapped inside his imagination after a horrible accident causes him to try and take his own life. John instead ends up in Slow City, a construct of his mind's eye, a place where anything is possible – except a way out. There, he must battle his deeply-rooted inner demons and examine who he truly was before entering this purgatory. I had the privilege to sit down with Samuel Haine And John Livesay to talk about this new series and how it came about! Samuel Haine came up with the premise for Slow City Blues after being turned down for a staff writing position at a video game company in 2013. Soon after, he saved up enough money waiting tables to commission the first set of sample pages while living off food stamps. From those first pages, he was introduced to John Livesay, who liked the story, but knew the art needed direction and Sam needed guidance. John connected Sam with Legendary Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter, who taught Sam the ins and outs of writing for comics – what Sam calls the “Shooter School of Storytelling.” John, acting as Coordinator, put together the art team, as well as landed a host of A-list cover artists. Sam found that the world of Slow City helped him reflect and better understand what was happening in the world and his part in it. He hopes the story connects in an authentic manner and inspires tough conversations and loving introspection. This amazingly fun series also sports some world-class artwork on the variant covers, including David Finch, Paul Pope, Derrick Chew, Doug Mahnke, Brett Booth, Julian Totino Tedesco, Francesco Mattina, Yasmine Putri, Howard Porter, Phillip Tan, Cary Nord, Pat Olliffe, and Randy Green. To purchase this series click here, anyone who purchases the early bird special in the first 48 hours will be entered to win a piece of original artwork! I hope you enjoy the interview below! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/under-the-lens/support
Fue un año dulce 2006 con un montón de buenos tebeos memorables que coparían las listas de los Premios Eisner 2007. Fábulas relaja un poco (solo un poco) su aplastante dominio ante el All Star Superman, de Grant Morrison y Frank Quitely. Ed Brubaker está absolutamente intratable y en este año comienza Criminal con su viejo compinche Sean Phillips, mientras continúan sus etapas en Capitán América y Daredevil con Epting y Lark. Es el año también de Batman Año 100, de Paul Pope; el año en que Naoki Uasawa arrasa en Europa y América con Monster y también el año en que Alison Bechdel marca un hito con Fun Home. 2006 fue un año con tantos y tan buenos tebeos, que incluso quedaron fuera de los Eisner pequeñas joyas como Aniquilación o Nextwave, que nos preocupamos por recordar en la segunda parte. Sabed, oh-yentes, que entre los años del hundimiento de Atlantis y sus brillantes ciudades, tragadas por los océanos, y los años del nacimiento de los hijos de Aryas, hubo una edad no soñada donde podía escucharse el podcast 217 de ELHDT.

One of the things that has defined 2015 for The Comics Alternative has been the number of Publisher Spotlights it's presented -- seven, up until today. This week, the Two Guys are back with their eighth and final spotlight of the year, one on the fall releases out of Locust Moon Press. They begin their critical focus with a brief interview Derek conducted with Josh O'Neill, the publisher of Locust Moon Press. In that conversation, Josh shares the background and history of Locust Moon, first as a bookstore (which will be closing its doors early next year) and then as a publisher with an impressive catalog. They also discuss the press' success with Kickstarter, including last year's campaign with Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream and the current efforts with The Lost Work of Will Eisner. After that, Andy and Derek get into the nitty gritty of the show, a discussion of Locust Moon's fall releases. They begin with Prometheus Eternal, a short collection of stories inspired by Rubens's famous painting, Prometheus Bound. This work was created in collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and including work by such creators as Grant Morrison, Paul Pope, Dave McKean, Bill Sienkiewicz, Farel Dalrymple, Yuko Shimizu, and David Mack. Next, the guys turn to another collection, this one the sixth issue of Quarter Moon. The theme to this issue is "Impractical Cats," and with cat-related contributions from a variety of creators including Farel Dalrymple, Tia McClelland, Mike Sgier, Lisk Feng, Jim Comey, Gregory Benton, J.G. Jones, Dean Haspiel, Jeremy Baum, and a host of others. After that, they look at Ben Kahn and Bruno Hidalgo's Shaman, a satiric and inventive mashup of superheroes, the supernatural, and humor. Neither Andy nor Derek were aware of Shaman before this spotlight episode -- they completely missed Kahn's Kickstarter from earlier this year -- but now they're totally on board and look forward to more of this series, because it's funny as hell. Finally, the guys wrap up with a long discussion of Little Nemo's Big New Dreams, a joint effort with Françoise Mouly's TOON Graphics. This is a smaller, more affordable, and more holdable, version of the broadsheet-sized Dream Another Dream, including more than thirty strips from the Eisner Award-winning collection. And like the aforementioned Prometheus Eternal and Quarter Moon collections, this TOON book is chock-full of impressive contributors, including Art Spiegelman, Craig Thompson, Carla Speed McNeil, Mark Buckingham, Roger Langridge, Box Brown, R. Sikoryak, Jim Rugg, Yuko Shimizu, Gerhard...and the list goes on. In fact, you could even see today's show as the most creator-packed episode that the Two Guys have ever recorded.
For this episode, Gwen and Derek team up for another Publisher Spotlight episode, this one on First Second Books and their fall releases. The titles they discuss include Paul Pope, JT Petty, David Rubin's Battling Boy: The Fall of the House of West; Balak, Michael Sanlaville, and Bastien Vives's Last Man: The Chase; Jean-David Morvan and Dominique Bertail's Omaha Beach on D-Day; Gene Luen Yang and Mike Holmes's Secret Coders; Maris Wicks's Human Body Theater; Ian Lendler and Zack Giallongo's The Stratford Zoo Midnight Review Presents Romeo and Juliet; and Chris Duffy's edited collection, Fable Comics.
We're back with another fantastic episode of The Pullbox Podcast! In this episode, we talk a lot about Dan Slott's Spider-Verse, the refreshing oddity that is Paul Pope's Batman: Year 100, and the underground popularity of webcomics with Kristen Gudsnuck's Henchgirl in particular. Plus, the people upstairs decide to rearrange all their furniture as soon […]
This week on The Comics Alternative, the Two Guys with PhDs (who talk about comics) start off with a veritable love-fest of Paul Pope comics. They begin by looking at two recent titles, The Rise of Aurora West (First Second) and Escapo (Z2 Comics). The first, co-written with J.T. Petty and with art by David Rubín, is a follow up to last year's Battling Boy, although it is not a sequel to that earlier narrative, but a prequel. Here we are introduced to the exploits of the daughter, and young apprentice, of the adventuresome Haggard West. We see Aurora's early development, the origins of Acropolis' monster problem, and the full extent of Haggard's crime-fighting acumen. All of this is presented in Rubín's action-soaked black-and-white illustrations that, while distinct from Pope's style, reads as a visual relative to the earlier Battling Boy. Next, Derek and Andy discuss Escapo, stories and art that were originally created between 1996 and 1998 -- early Paul Pope, reminiscent of what you'll find in One Trick Rip-Off + Deep Cuts -- but now is presented in a beautiful hardbound edition in the tradition of the French bande dessinée format. The two stories that make up the core of the book surround the adventures of Vic, a young circus performer who is a modern-day Houdini, able to escape from any trap that is laid out for him, no matter how elaborate. In this way, and much like Aurora West, Vic is an adventure hero. The book includes sketches, other bonus material, and Escapo-related pin-up work from a variety of illustrators. The art is given new life through the efforts of Shay Plummer, whose vibrant colors complement the daredevil tone of Pope's story. The guys then go in an entirely different -- and more humorously disturbing -- direction with a comic that is completely new to them. Eyesight, written by Callum MacKenzie and drawn by Alex Hood, is a self-published minicomic that displays the entire DIY effect. Andy and Derek discuss issues #1-3, and they're not sure if they should laugh out loud, stand in bewilderment, or run away in unmitigated terror. This has to be one of the creepiest comics the guys have read lately. But it's a good kind of creepy, the kind that has you coming back for more...after you've cleaned your britches. And it's definitely a work Derek and Andy think their listeners should run out and get. In fact, you can support the creators by visiting their website, http://eyesightcomix.com, and getting your copy of Eyesight.
It's that time of the month for the Two Guys with PhDs…that is, it's time for the July Previews catalog! On this episode, Andy and Derek take their monthly gander at some of the great comics being solicited in Previews and due out in the next couple of months. All of the major publishers, and many, many of the smaller ones, are represented here, and the guys comment on how this is a particularly fat month when it comes to new and upcoming comics. They begin the show by looking at some of the titles being offered for this year's Halloween ComicFest, and then they get into the nitty-gritty of the catalog. Some of the titles that they highlight include Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly's The New York Four and Satoshi Kon's Opus (Dark Horse), Peter Milligan and Leandro Fernandez's The Names #1 and Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy's The Wake hardcover (Vertigo/DC Comics), Will Eisner's Spirit, Vol. 2: Artist's Edition and Craig Yoe's The Worst of Eerie Publications (IDW Publishing), Jay Faerber and Scott Godlewski's Copperhead #1 and Ryan Browne's God Hates Astronauts #1 (Image Comics), Gary Scott Beatly and Aaron Warner's Number One #1 (Aazurn Publishing), Roberto Aguirre Sacasa and Robert Hack's Sabrina #1 (Archie Comics), Hubert and Marie Caillou's Adrian and the Tree of Secrets and Julie Maroh's Skandalon (Arsenal Pulp Press), George Perez's Sirens #1 (BOOM! Studios), Duane Swierczynsky and Keith Burns's Ex-Con #1 (Dynamite Entertainment), Gilbert Hernandez's Bumperhead (Drawn and Quarterly), Dash Shaw's Doctors and Joe Sacco's Bumf 1: I Buggered the Kaiser (Fantagraphics), Paul Pope and J. T. Petty's Battling Boy: The Rise of Aurora West and Farel Dalrymple's The Wrenchies (First Second), Grant Morrison and Frazer Irving's Annihilator #1 (Legendary Comics), Greg Rucka and Justin Greenwood's Stumptown: The Case of the King of Clubs #1 (Oni Press), and Jorg Tittle and John Aggs's Ricky Rouse Has a Gun (SelfMadeHero). And this is just the tip of the solicitation iceberg. You really do have to listen to the entire episode to get the full scope, and warm fuzzy feelings, of this month's Previews.
It's time for another episode of The Pullbox Podcast! This month, Kurtis and Michael talk about three unique superhero books; Ex Machina: The First Hundred Years, by Brian K. Vaughn and Tony Harris, Battling Boy, by Paul Pope, and our Reader Pull, Astro City: Life in the Big City, by Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson. Start […]
For this month's on-location show, Derek heads back to Collected Comics in Plano, TX, to talk with Shea Hennum and other shop employees about the past year in comics. The conversation begins with a look at some of the highlights from 2013, the best titles to come out of the year, movies and television programs based on comics, and some of the most memorable publishing events — or just events, in general — in comics. Shea and Derek also discuss some of the trends they saw developing over the past twelve months, including the impressive output of such major creators as Paul Pope and Gilbert Hernandez. Without turning too negative, they also mention some of the disappointments or lackluster moments from 2013, but then they counterbalance that with their hopes for new things that will be coming out in 2014. This is the perfect show to set the stage for Andy and Derek's much-anticipated end-of-the-year episode, where they will share what they consider to be the best titles in 2013.
This week on The Comics Alternative podcast, Derek and Gene review Paul Pope's Battling Boy (First Second), Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy #1 (Dark Horse), and Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder's Rocket Girl #1 (Image). The Two Guys with PhDs begin with Battling Boy, placing it within the larger context of Paul Pope's body of work — seeing similar themes, stylistic flair, characterization, and tone found in comics such as 100%, Heavy Liquid, and THB – and also reading it in light of other First Second publications. Both are fascinated by what Pope is doing in this all-age (?) superhero (?) sci-fi narrative, and they are eagerly anticipating the next installment of the story, The Rise of Aurora West. Gene brings keen insights not only to the metaficational aspects of Battling Boy, but also Pope's use of lettering and font choices. The Two Guys are not in the same kind of agreement with Shaolin Cowboy. Derek feels that it's one of the most visually intriguing, and funniest, comic books of the year, while Gene wants more story. (And Derek recommends that Gene read the first Shaolin Cowboy series from Burlyman Entertainment…although even he has his problems with the way that first series unfolded.) But they do agree on Montclare and Reeder's Rocket Girl, feeling that the series starts off with a blast — sorry for the pun — and promises interesting things in the issues to come, especially in terms of time travel twists.
Andy and Derek are back at Lone Star Comics in Plano, TX, and this month they're talking about American-themed comics with the scheduling manager of the shop and good friend of the show, Shea Hennum. Since this is the month of Independence Day, the Two Guys with PhDs thought it would be a great opportunity to focus on comics about the United States, its history, its culture, and its people. Among the many comics they discuss are Harvey Pekar's American Splendor, Steve Darnall and Alex Ross's Uncle Sam, John Ridley and Georges Jeanty's The American Way, Howard Chaykin's American Flagg, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Preacher, Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams's Green Lantern/Green Arrow comics of the 1970s, Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, the Marvel event Civil War, the various incarnations of Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters, and Paul Pope comics. They also talk about other kinds of comics, such as Adventure Time, Brandon Graham's Prophet (which Derek does like, thank you very much), Frank Young and David Lasky's The Carter Family, Garth Ennis's Fury MAX, and erotic comics, among others. They also give their two cents on the recent announcements on the acquisition of Archaia by Boom! Studios and on Kitchen Sink joining forces with Dark Horse. And as an extra added bonus, you get to hear Shea, Andy, and Derek describe what they plan to do for the July 4th holiday (nothing exciting, really). The Two Guys with PhDs also name the winner of their July contest and announce the theme of next month's Lone Star Comics discussion and giveaway: all-age comics. So be sure to check back in August for that episode!
