Transcending Comics had our first ever live show at Flame Con 2024! We were lucky enough to be joined by some incredible panelists, including Maia Kobabe (Gender Queer: A Memoir), Kim Wang (Of Thunder & Lightning), Ben Kahn (Elle Campbell Wins Their Weekend, Renegade Rule), and Daniel Falco (Transphoria)! We absolutely loved the input from each of our panelists, and the audience had some great questions for the creators. We also want to give a special shoutout to our friend Sadie for capturing and editing the footage of this event, she even managed to good audio of the audience questions, which we couldn't have managed without her! Stay tuned for more from our trip to Flame Con! Music: Intro: A Little Soul by Carlsin Outro: You've Been Starrin by Carlsin Check out more of his music on Carlsin.com
Today we're joined by multi-talented creator, Ben Khan, as they share their creative processes, influences, and experiences throughout their comic career. From their work with Ubisoft tie-ins like "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix: Crushing Love" and "Immortals Fenyx Rising," to indie comics like "Renegade Rule" and "Heavenly Blues," or even their new young adult novel "Elle Campbell Wins Their Weekend!" If you're not familiar with Ben from their incredible work in comics, you might recognize them from the Progressively Horrified podcast! Ben does an incredible job both playing with and subverting established tropes, and they have a knack for world building that we've rarely seen elsewhere! We get into the creative origins behind these stories, and gush about the films that have inspired their work.
Brent and Adam talk to the hilarious and energetic writer of Gryffen: Galaxy's Most Wanted, Heavenly Blues, and the upcoming novel Elle Campbell Wins Their Weekend, Ben Kahn! This discussion covers everything from science fiction, to teamwork, to how crazy 90s shows could be.
Renegade graduate Syrita Steib is running for US Senate in the state of Louisiana. If elected, she will be the first black women to ever hold that position. Her story is remarkable. She grew up in a small rural town surrounded by sugar cane, spent 10 years in prison and has successfully created, and passed, legislation that is changing the narrative for many people. In this discussion with Amy Jo, Syrita talks about her trauma that led her to prison and the moments since that have motivated her down the current path she is on. She details the lack of access to bare necessities she faced after incarceration. Syrita has taken Renegade Rule #3 (turn adversity into an asset) to a whole new level as she has leveraged adversity over and over again. Syrita has always been a fighter and her mindset is that the only way is forward. Syrita's resilience and fierce commitment to doing what she sets out to do is apparent. She has started the non profit, Operation Restoration, passed Louisiana Act 276 which banned a box on college application that asked about previous felonies for the purpose of admission, expanded this to 6 different states, received a full presidential pardon and much more. She does all of this by not by looking at challenges in totality, but instead tackling the process step by step. Syrita needs help now. Her main ask is for people to to talk about the issues she brings up in this episode. Spread awareness. Louisiana is the only state with jungle primaries - an election in which all candidates for elected office run in the same primary regardless of political party - so November 8th is the primary election. Early voting is October 25th. Syrita is the only woman in the race as well as the only one with experience creating and passing policy successfully. A big thanks to Syrita for sharing her story.

Demon Knight was their first attempt. It's fun, funny, and between Jada Pinkett's badass final girl, Billy Zane's zany murder demon, and the deft directing of Ernest Dickerson - they came out with something that exceeded the bro-horror TftC brand. Demon Knight is an action, horror, comedy with lots of shlocky b-movie bits that somehow soars. Director: Ernest Dickerson (trailblazing black horror director of Bones, Juice, DMX's Never Die Alone, and a number of the best tv shows including The Wire, Dexter, The L Word, Treme and the list goes on) Writers: Ethan Reiff & Cyrus Voris (Bulletproof Monk, Kung Fu Panda, Russel Crowe Robin Hood, Brimstone ,Sleeper Cell) , Mark Bishop Stars: John Kassir (The Cryptkeeper), Jada Pinkett Smith, CCH Pounder, Thomas Haden Church, Brenda Bakke, William Sadler, and the reason we're all here whether we know it or not, Billy Zane.

Before his first day is over he'll be dealing with the Toronto mob (led by David Cronenberg himself) and he'll be part of a bizarre love rhombus with his old girlfriend, the spunky bat-wielding clerk at the donut shop, and a cab driver with a deeply inexplicable accent.Topics of Discussion:-pansexual vampires-cabbies who know it's okay for men to cry-David Cronenberg's cowboy boots-shoe rental-astral vampire sex-selective sun allergies-popular men's v-neck styles-Vincent Valentine and the definition of a cape-the strangest block in Toronto-research on important topics like "circus" and "dream"-Vampire the Masquerade-bargain priced 2 for 1 guns-name brand lemon juice-90's urban fantasy landscapes: a world of brick, steam, and plastic sheeting - an audio essay by Emily MartinRecommendations:ExistenzLast NightBon Cop, Bad CopThe Lost BoysThe HungerNadjaPet Shop of HorrorsVampire's KissInnocent BloodFollow our guest, Bronwyn Kelly-SeighOn twitter: @shinybabybCheck out her podcast: "Ladies of Valhalla"Support LoV on PatreonFollow us on twitter @proghorrorpodFollow Jeremy on twitter @jrome58Visit his website at JeremyWhitley.comFollow Emily on twitter @megamothEmily's Website: Megamoth.netFollow Ben on twitter @benthekahnPre-Order Ben's new book, Renegade Rule.RSS Feed: https://feeds.transistor.fm/progressively-horrifiedWebsite: https://progressivelyhorrified.transistor.fm/Join our Patreon at: patreon.com/progressivelyhorrified to support the show, get bonus episodes, early access to upcoming episodes, and a cool Progressively Horrified t-shirt.Come back next week when we talk Horror Noire!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

“One of the goals of Renegade Rule was to present a book and world that allows for queer joy” - Ben Kahn “The closer it is to trope-y fan fiction the more I like it” - Rachel Silverstein Meet the writers of a new original graphic novel published by Dark Horse, Renegade Rule! "The Manhattan Mist have beaten the odds to land themselves in the national championships for Renegade Rule, one of the hottest virtual reality games in existence. But they're in for competition fiercer then they ever imagined, and one team member's entire future could be at stake. Four queer female friends will have to play harder than ever against self-doubt, infighting, romantic distraction, and a slew of other world-class teams if they hope to become champions. From Ignatz-nominated writer Ben Kahn, debut author Rachel Silverstein, and artist Sam Beck is a celebration of friendship, competition, queer identity, and the insane things we do for the things and people we love."
