What was the original spark that made you all say, “Actually…this could work”?Colliding Tones: Hopeful vs. DirtyHow did you navigate blending the wholesomeness of Riverdale with the gritty world of Twilight City without undercutting either tone—or letting one overpower the other?The Role of SabrinaSabrina is the hinge point between both universes. How did you land on her as the “bridge,” and what made her magic the right kind of chaos to kick off the crossover?Playtime (Frankie Follis) vs. ArchiePlaytime and Archie are about as different as two protagonists can be. What were the most surprising character parallels—or contrasts—that emerged as you wrote their interactions?Deep Cuts and Fan FavoritesThis series packs in everything from Salem the Cat to the annoying Reggie. How did you decide which characters to include—and how deep into both universes' lore did you dig?Implications for the Minor Threats UniverseJordan and Patton, you've said this story has long-term consequences for Playtime. Without spoiling anything, can you tease what ripple effects this Archie encounter sets in motion?Archie Breaks BadThe idea of Archie "breaking bad" is hilarious and a little terrifying. What was it like writing Archie with a criminal edge—and how far did you all consider pushing it?Why Comics?Jordan mentioned this is a story that only works in comics. What elements of this crossover could only have been done in this medium—not TV, not film, not prose?I'd be remiss not to ask, is there any romance in the series?Milkshakes & Mayhem (Fun Question)Let's say the Riverdale crew and the Minor Threats gang go out for milkshakes together after all this chaos—who's the last one standing in the milkshake chugging contest?And finally, Archie is also crossing over with Jay and Silent Bob, could you guys see a similar crossover with Kevin Smith's characters?

How do you balance those tones without losing the story's core message?The concept of Monkey Meat Island explores hyper-capitalism and corporate exploitation in surreal ways. What new angles or themes are you excited to explore in The Summer Batch?You describe Monkey Meat as a comic where you can "shed corporate expectations."

What inspired this structure, and what do you think it brings to the reading experience?Characters and WorldbuildingFrom superhero monkeys to debt-collecting witches, the characters in Monkey Meat are wild and wonderfully diverse. Are there any new characters in The Summer Batch you're particularly excited for readers to meet?In previous issues, the Monkey Meat Company has a huge impact on the local, magical fauna. Does the environment of Monkey Meat Island evolve or play a role in this new arc?Art and CreativityYour art is incredibly dynamic and experimental. How does your artistic process change when you're working on an anthology with multiple stories in one issue versus a single, continuous narrative?Fun/Silly QuestionIf you were forced to take a vacation on Monkey Meat Island, what three survival items would you bring, and how would you avoid getting on the bad side of the local witches or demons?

Raise your wands Libration Nation! This week's book is Carry On by Rainbow Rowell a magical mages story about Simon Snow, the worst chosen one ever according to his roommate and nemesis, Baz. Carry On is the first book in a trilogy and is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters. My guest this week is Rachel Yorkshire, she lives in Richmond with her wife Marissa and their very spoiled dog. She and her wife both post their bookish endeavors and reviews over on their bookstagram lesbereaders, and they would love for you to give them a follow. If she's not reading, Rachel is probably daydreaming, laughing with friends, or bothering her dog. In this story Simon is known for devouring Sour Cherry Scones, so our drink pages homage to that with a Tart Cherry Cocktail!

Best known for her hit young adult novels "Eleanor & Park" and "Fangirl," Rainbow Rowell has been called “the best thing to happen to young adult literature in ages” by Vox. Today, she joins The Bright Side to discuss her new book “Slow Dance,” the Reese's Book Club pick for August. The New York Times bestselling author opens up about who inspired the characters in her latest novel, the health scare that made her think she might never write another book, and the vital importance of unflinching storytelling for young people, especially as her early work continues to be banned. You can find “Slow Dance” on Apple Books or wherever you get your books. Listen to Rainbow's playlist for “Slow Dance” here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's MuggleCast, we're setting book 4 down and picking up on real world controversy that was happening RIGHT as Goblet of Fire was first published, in July of 2000. At issue was whether the series, quickly gaining national publicity in the US, was instructing young readers to take up witchcraft, join the devil and abandon God. It's HP vs Christianity on MuggleCast 666! New episodes of MuggleCast will now be released in full video on our YouTube channel, right when they are released on our podcast feed! For today's Main Discussion, Eric has compiled a PDF of sources from the late 90's to 2007 news media. The polished PDF is available via this link. By July of 2000, Harry Potter had gained massive popularity in the US, and raise alarm bells with some concerned parents. Were any of the hosts told not to read the HP books on religious grounds? The controversy may be categorized as a moral panic, not unlike the Satanic Panic phenomenon of the 80's/90's, which unfortunately had large ramifications. Why was HP targeted? And why were evangelicals in particular caught up in it? We discuss four main arguments against the Potter books: that they will make children want to do witchcraft or join the occult; that they make children susceptible to evil by downplaying the danger of magic; that the books themselves are intentionally demonic; that the books are just plain immoral! (We find it hard to disagree with the last point). Is there any evidence that kids joined the occult after reading the books? Years later in 2005, what did Georgia parent Laura Mallory add to the discussion surrounding the books? We review our own attempts on MuggleCast to get a hold of Mrs. Mallory. As late as 2019, the argument was still being used to ban books. What lessons can we learn from these events? Be sure to subscribe to MuggleCast Gold via Apple Podcasts, or join our Patreon for access to Bonus MuggleCast segments. Visit mugglecast.com for transcripts, social media links, our full episode archive, favorite episodes and more! A very special thank you to Connie Neal, Judy Bloom, Rainbow Rowell and others for extolling the virtues of the Harry Potter series when we were all children and too young to do so in print media.
