Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Tobin

For those that watch the Faqs Project Youtube Channel, I've had a chance to cover the first 3 issues of Dark Pyramid for Mad Cave Studios. The Story centers around the disappearance of a Exploring Social Media Influencer named Hooky Hidalgo whom as he was livestreaming lost connection in the Denali mountain ranges of Alaska until his girlfriend Becca arrives only to find this town in the Foothorn territory where he went missing is tight lipped and want nothing to do with outsiders. Today I get to sit down with both Paul Tobin and PJ Holden about that process in creating this act of conspiracy based on some true events in this section of the world. Paul gives us the means on why he chose to center this story into its particular setting in Alaska. PJ illustrates the setting as another character as the landscape he creates become larger than life. The Construction of the creature they created in Eve, they both didn't think she'd stay long enough but they made this being Multidimensional as a tool to the military operation led by General Cho, whom doesn't seem like a villain but more as someone under strict orders to contain this area. I've had more questions outside of issue 3 than issue 1 where this ride leads from influencer parties to Goats with Human faces. This series is a must read.Written by Paul TobinArtwork by PJ Holden and Sara ColellaLetters by Taylor EspositoSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

Horror is one of my favorite genres and I've often heard horror creators on the show talk about avoiding a modern setting in their work. How do you deal with technology, cell phones, and social media? It's way easier to just drop it in the nostalgia of the 80s before much of that happened and we've seen an explosion of popular IPs set in the era of Pac Man and MTV, but what if you had a horror story with a social media influencer as the protagonist putting their experience front and center in front of a live worldwide audience? That's the hook of the new five issue mini-series Dark Pyramid from Mad Cave Studios and I'm lucky enough to have co-creators Eisner Winning comics writer Paul Tobin and his extraordinary artist accomplice PJ Holden to tell us all about it on today's episode. Truthfully, prior to my interest in this book, I didn't know all that much about the Dark Pyramid in Alaska. Conspiracy theorist I am not, but it does make for an interesting backdrop to this folk horror take in rural Alaska. We get into how the myth inspired some of the book's elements, how using a protagonist who is documenting their life live works in a horror story, and PJ tells us all about his experience starting improv. Dark Pyramid hits shelves on March 12th. Paul's website: https://www.paultobin.net PJ's website: https://www.pauljholden.com From the publisher Hooky Hidalgo, adventurist and popular live streamer, has gone missing while climbing Mt. Denali in Alaska! When his girlfriend, Becca, arrives at the base of the mountain to retrace his steps, she soon discovers something beyond the dreamy and impressive landscape. There's a conspiracy deep within the heart of Denali itself—a dark pyramid, silent, waiting. Becca—and the scores of Hooky fans determined to either find him or find some fun—will face death, avalanches….and monsters to find the truth. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

Jace is joined by writer Paul Tobin to talk about his series, String, from Mad Cave Studios. Starring a young woman who can see 'strings' that connect people who have been intimate or murdered and those they are about to kill. Yoon often works with the police to try and solve murders by following the black strings, but it's the blue strings that connect sexual partners that often have people feeling uncomfortable around her. Things are completely turned upside down in her life, when she wakes up one day to find a black string emanating from herself. Does this mean Yoon is about to kill or be killed? Either way, with the help of a reluctant police officer, Luke, she hopes to find the answer before it's too late.

The Canadian Coast Guard operates a fleet of vessels ranging from large ice breakers to small rescue boats. Arguably the most unique in the fleet are the hovercraft that the service operates.There are four hovercraft in service with the Canadian Coast Guard. Two are based in Eastern Canada, and two are based in British Columbia.Hovercraft are incredibly versatile platforms. In the military, the best known examples are the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), which are operated by the United States Navy. These hovercraft are used by well deck-equipped amphibious landing ships, Expeditionary Sea Base, and Expeditionary Transfer Docks to transport large vehicles and cargo to shore. The US Navy LCACs are being replaced by the Ship to Shore Connector, which is also known at the LCAC 100 class. These newer generation craft will offer a number of improvements including more powerful and efficient engines, and increased capacity to cope with the growing weight of equipment used by the United States Marine Corps, Navy and Army.In Canada, I had the privilege to go aboard the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Moytel when it was in Victoria, British Columbia, and I had the pleasure to speak with Paul Tobin, the Officer in Command.In this episode you will hear about the capabilities of the hovercraft Moytel, and future plans for the capability -- those plans are part of the Canadian Coast Guards fleet renewal plan, which in part calls for the acquisition of four new Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV), which are otherwise known as hovercraft. The new Canadian Coast Guard ACVs will be designed with fully modernized systems, and a propulsion system integrating green technologies to reduce carbon emissions.The procurement of the four ACVs falls under the Small Vessels construction pillar of Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy, and it is expected that all four ACVs will be delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard starting in 2030.I want to thank Paul Tobin of the Canadian Coast Guard for his time and kindness, and I want to thank him and his crew for the great tour of the hovercraft Moytel.You can see the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Moytel on our YouTube channel -- search for "Go Bold with Joetey Attariwala" and please like and subscribe so you don't miss any of our great videos!Go Bold!

I just love chatting with folks that love comics and one thing I can tell you about today's guest on the Cryptid Creator Corner, is that Paul Tobin LOVES comics. Paul is on the podcast today discussing the new Mad Cave Studios series The Mammoth. The Mammoth is a fantastic new horror mystery series. Arjuna Susini's artwork is incredible. Paul and I chat about the development of the series, his journey creating comics, as well as his own comic book collection, plus I got to tell him how much I loved Heist or How to Steal a Planet. Paul was such a joy to talk to and I feel like I learned so much, not just about Paul, but about writing comics. I'm already looking forward to having Paul on again and he has some other great projects coming out. Be sure to check out his website so you don't miss any of them: https://www.paultobin.net. From the publisher Something is wrong in the deep forests of Broke Tree Valley. Something deadly. Something mammoth. The legends speak of something larger than human comprehension…A monstrous phantom that disappears for decades at a time. Now, it's back, and things are about to go Very Bad if four people—Olivia, Jess, Kokoro, and Mason, scientists who have come to the small city of Kasbro to investigate a bizarre series of seismic activities in this heavily forested valley—can't put the Mammoth to rest. One real problem with this is…Olivia's dead. Our episode sponsor Play TTRPG games? Make sure to check out our partner Arkenforge.

Paul Tobin (writer of Bunny Mask, Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil, etc.) joins Douglas to discuss Astonishing Tales #1-5, but they are attacked by an all-consuming sonic sponge.

Creator Talks proudly presents the husband and wife team of writer Paul Tobin and artist Colleen Coover.  Together they created the costumed teen cat burglar Bandette.   Bandette began as a digital publication in 2012 on Comixology through Monkeybrain Comics. It was nominated for four Eisner's Awards in 2013.     Not long after, Dark Horse Comics collected the single issues into soft and hard cover editions.   The next Bandette hard cover collection will be released by Dark Horse Comics on July 7th 2021 is Volume 4: The Six Finger Secret.   I discuss with Colleen how she illustrates Bandette and the reason for her bold primary color choices.   It would not be Creator Talks if I did not get personal with my guests so I ask the happy couple how they met. Did Cupid's arrow strike and was it love at first sight?   Paul and Colleen once managed a comic book store in Iowa. Paul shares how he managed to build his comic book collection while he worked there as an employee and how comic shops have changed since the 1980s.   He is also an avid comic art collector. Paul talks about some of his favorite pieces of art and why he considers himself lucky to have them. What is it about these artists' work that appeals to Paul? Which ones tuned him off as a youth but now from whom he has great admiration. His answers may surprise you.   How has collecting art become an education itself for Paul and Colleen as creators?   Paul and Colleen made several trips to France, which is the setting of Bandette's adventures. They share some of their special memories of France and later their decision to move from Iowa to Portland, Oregon for the sake of their careers.   In closing I ask Paul and Colleen my Final Nine Questions including what they like to do for recreation, beverage of choice, pet peeve, missed opportunities and when they took a risk.   Fini   Creator Talks Theme Song: "Jazz Relax" from LoopsLab  Creator Talks logo by The Design Punk Transition Music - French Music "Jazz In Paris" Media Right Porduction "Spanish Flea"  by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass    Please rate and review Creator Talks on Apple Podcasts   More about Bandette: The Six Finger Secret   About Paul Tobin   About Colleen Coover

The Crew is back to talk about the first volume of Stilwater which is about a town whose citizens can not die. The book is pretty creepy and everyone had fun reading and talking about it. The hosts then discuss intentional and unintentional gatekeeping among comics fans caused by strongly expressing negative opinions about comics, creators or genres that the particular fan expressing the opinion may not like. Other items discussed this episode are "My Name Is..." by Iskander Salim (New Naratif); Bunny Mask by Paul Tobin, Andrea Mutti, and Taylor Esposito (AfterShock); and Made in Korea #1 by Jeremy Holt, George Schall, and Adam Wollet (Image). "My Name Is..." can be found here. https://newnaratif.com/comics/my-name-is/ Comics Deserve Better is a weekly podcast hosted by Brian, Carrie and Darci which covers the world of Independent Comics.

Sam Adonis (@realsamadonis) returns to the podcast to discuss his upcoming hair vs hair match against Blue Panther August 4th in Arena Mexico.  We discuss the world-wide media attention he has gotten for his flag-waving American gimmick in Mexico and how that fits in with wrestling's history of xenophobic heels. We talk about the feud with Blue Panther and invoking the name and gimmick of the late Love Machine Art Barr and his feud 25 years ago in CMLL. We chat about his favorite opponents and partners over his year in Mexico, his upcoming trip to Japan and how things are going for his brother, WWE announcer Corey Graves.  Sam is super busy these days, so we thank him very much for his time. Also, a quick shout-out to former podcast guests Colleen Coover and Paul Tobin, for their third consecutive Eisner Award for Bandette. You can hear them discuss it on episode 24. Congratulations to all the winners, some of whom are tentatively planned as future guests.

Earlier this month the nominees for the 2017 Eisner Awards were announced at the Comic-Con International website, and as Andy and Derek like to do every year, they're devoting a full episode of The Comics Alternative to a discussion of the nominations. On this week's show, the Two Guys give their impressions of the various nominees, both as a whole and on a category-by-category basis, making observations and trying to understand any trends underlying this year's selections. However, Derek and Andy resist the urge to play armchair quarterbacks, so they don't second-guess the six-member panel of judges or focus on what they would have chosen if they had been on the selection committee. As diligent comics scholars, they judicial and discerning in their commentary. At the same time, they don't shy away from pointing out a few inconsistencies and a few head-scratchers when trying to make sense of this year's nominations. You can find a complete list of the 2017 Eisner Award nominees below.

The husband and wife creative team of Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover are getting ready to publish “The House of the Green Mask”, the third volume of their effervescent creation, that Audrey Hepburn of master thieves, “Bandette”. The series won two Eisner awards for best digital comics series in 2013 and this year. Bandette is a pert, teen-aged thief living a barely-closeted life of crime. She steals to delight herself, leaping across the rooftops of the city to tweak the noses and egos of the real bad guys. Bandette's setting is identifiably French — a Paris of the imagination— but it's time period is deliberately fluid. We talk with Tobin and Coover about the pleasures of fleshing out the world around a different kind of action heroine.

Colleen Coover (@colleencoover) and Paul Tobin (@paultobin) join the show to talk about their award-winning comic Bandette, its origins and influences. We also talk about all-ages comics and their work on them, past work including Batman '66, Marvel Adventures and I Was the Cat. We also talk about Paul's forthcoming novel, How to Catch an Invisible Cat, out March 1. Then we talk soccer, including the MLS Champion Portland Timbers and NWSL Portland Thorns, Barcelona vs Real Madrid, the pantomime behavior of Jose Mourinho and the dilemma of liking players on teams you can't stand. In the second segment, Mark reviews two new Marvel titles: Illuminati by Josh Williamson Williamson__Josn) and Shawn Crystal (@shawncrystal) and The Vision by Tom King (@TomKIngTK) and Gabriel Hernandez Walta (@ghwalta).
