On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by writer Rob Williams to talk all about Hidden Springs, his wild new series that blends retired Hollywood legends, a baby kaiju, and a desperate race against the military. It's a fun, heartfelt conversation about building flawed characters, mixing comedy with tragedy, and why stories about second chances hit harder when everything's on the line.

Dave: Absolute Batman #20 (Skottie Young) Chris: Bleeding Hearts #4 (Juni Ba Variant) Interview: Robbie Williams - Hidden Springs - Rend and Tear and Tooth and Claw - Feature film Game 1. Hidden Springs has such a wonderfully strange premise: retired Hollywood legends protecting a baby kaiju. Where did the initial spark for this story come from, and when did you realize this was the right mix of heart, comedy, and monster chaos? 2. The cast of characters is incredibly eclectic, from a rocker reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne to a classic Hollywood beauty, a trailblazing female director, a stand-up comedian, and a career TV star. How did you approach building such different personalities and making them feel like a believable found family? 3. Nil Vendrell Pallach is handling the art. What did Nil bring to the project visually that made them the perfect collaborator for a story that moves between comedy, nostalgia, and kaiju action? 4. There's something inherently funny about ageing celebrities being the only ones capable of protecting a world-ending monster. What interested you about pairing the idea of aging, fading fame, and second chances with something as huge and destructive as a kaiju? 5. With all these Hollywood types, I was reminded of Caccoon, about a group of old folks who encounter an alien eggs that give them youth, with your new series on the way do you think this the old person encountering sci-fi elements is an underused corner of fiction? 6. What made dark horse the right publisher for this? 7. You've written everything from Judge Dredd to Petrol Head. Where does Hidden Springs sit for you creatively? Does it tap into a different storytelling muscle compared to your other work? 8. (Fun question) Your heroes include a rocker, a comedian, a movie star, and a legendary beauty escorting a baby kaiju across the countryside. If you had to add one more retired celebrity archetype to the team, who would it be and what ridiculous skill would they bring to the kaiju babysitting mission?

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we interview cartoonist Stephanie Stalvey, diving deep into her graphic memoir Everything in Color. In the conversation, Stalvey opens up about growing up in an evangelical household, unpacking purity culture, and how motherhood reshaped her understanding of faith and identity. It's an honest, vulnerable discussion about turning lived experience into art, and why telling these stories can resonate far beyond one person's life.

Dave: Feral #22 (Tony Fleecs & Trish Forstner Weapons Homage Cover) Alex: Wiccan: Witches' Road #5 (Karen S. Darboe variant) Interview: Stephanie Stalvey, EVERYTHING IN COLOR out 04/28/2026 Your book explores growing up in an evangelical community where love and obedience were deeply intertwined. When you look back now, how do you understand that relationship differently? One of the most striking ideas in the book is the notion that “our bodies belong to the authority figure.” How did unpacking that belief shape the emotional core of this memoir? Everything in Color is deeply personal, especially in how it portrays your relationship with your husband and your child. What was it like sharing drafts with your husband as you were creating the book? Your journey raises big questions about faith, doubt, and identity. Did you find yourself arriving at answers while making the book, or is it more about learning to live with the questions? The book touches on major shared moments like 9/11 and the COVID lockdown. How did anchoring your personal story to these larger events help shape the narrative? There's a powerful shift in the book where love, especially through motherhood, reframes everything as sacred. When did that realization first begin to take hold for you? This is a massive and ambitious work. Was it always envisioned at this scale, and how long did it take you to bring it to life? The title Everything in Color feels like a mission statement for the book. At what point did you know that was the right way to describe this journey? The artwork blends intimacy with emotional weight throughout. How did you approach pairing your visual storytelling with such vulnerable subject matter?

This week on Panel Chewing Pick of the Week, Steve and Jarrod dive into another stack of comics and break down the books that stood out from the week's pull list.Before jumping into the comics, the conversation kicks off with a nostalgic look at the comic-magazine era. From Wizard Magazine to Comic Shop News, the hosts reflect on the lost culture of comic journalism and how the internet—and now social media—has changed how fans interact with the hobby.Then it's time to talk comics.Highlights this week include discussions on new releases like Absolute Superman #17, Astral Quantum #2, and Save Now #3, along with the finale of a recent Detective Comics arc and the latest chapter of Rick Remender's The Sacrificers. The guys also dig into indie titles, time-travel chaos, noir mysteries, and the continuing brilliance of Conan the Barbarian.A few books nearly steal the show, including:The Peril of the Brutal Dark — a noir mystery blending archaeology and pulp adventureAssorted Crisis Events #8 — a deeply emotional comic about fading relationships and lost connectionsConan the Barbarian #29 — an issue so strong it works even without Conan appearing until the final pageBut the biggest surprise of the week?Steve's Pick of the Week ends up being Batman #7, a haunting psychological story featuring a silent Joker, an uneasy conversation with Batman, and echoes of The Killing Joke.Finally, the hosts continue their Grant Morrison Batman group read, discussing issues 657–658 from the Batman and Son storyline. Damian Wayne enters the story with a bang—and not in a good way—raising questions about Batman's judgment and the darker implications of the character's introduction.If you're reading along, the next discussion will cover issues 663–664 after a short break.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.

Josh and Trav finish off the three episode series featuring WWII books. DANIEL ACUÑA and Rick Remender team up for a war book that embraces the brutal action of war…but there is a twist… there are no humans in this book. What will the boys think of this off-center take?

On this episode of Fantastic Forum, we break down Escape #1 from Image and Floaters #1, the body-horror one-shot from Finish Line Comics. In Escape #1, writer Rick Remender and artist Daniel Acuña deliver a visceral, war-torn epic that starts with a bomber pilot shot down behind enemy lines in a brutal, anthropomorphic world. Stranded in a city he once helped obliterate, Milton Shaw is trying to escape before his own side's bomb drops and erases everyone in its path. Then we review Floaters #1! Conceived by Edward Davis, this one-shot uses body horror to explore how something as mundane as eye floaters can morph into a nightmarish force that dismantles a person's life. We've read the books, the dust has settled — now it's time to talk about what worked, what surprised us, and why both deserve the conversation. Watch tonight at 6:30 pm PT and call in live at www.fantasticforum.live to share your thoughts. Fantastic Forum, assemble!

I mean, all of them are really creator forward. They're real big swings, Lobo and Deathstroke. They're big over the top epic books. Batwoman, real, real great swing by Greg Rucka and Dani. Zatanna really levels Zatanna up. Firestorm and Shadow of the Bat. I mean, there are just so many good ones. There really are. Legion of Superheroes and Jonah Hex and there's just a ton coming that we can't wait for you to see. And they're all passion projects. And a lot of that is born out of you guys supporting things that are riskier, that are different, that hopefully feel yours. And it's the best time I've ever had in superhero comics. I'm so, so grateful to you guys and so proud of what we're able to do right now at DC. So first, let me start this end of year thing by just saying thank you.Our Top Books of the Week:Dave:Punisher: Red Band #4 (Ben Percy, Julius Ohta)Escape #5 (Rick Remender, Daniel Acuna)Coplan:​​Ultimate Endgame #1 (Deniz Camp, Jonas Scharf)Lost Fantasy #6 (Curt Pires, Maxi Dallo)Standout KAPOW moment of the week:Coplan: Ultimate Endgame #1 (Deniz Camp, Jonas Scharf)Dave: Ultimate Endgame #1 (Deniz Camp, Jonas Scharf)TOP BOOKS FOR NEXT WEEKCoplan: Toxic Avenger Comics #6 (Matt Bors, Fred Harper)Dave: X-Men #23 (Jed MacKay, Tony Daniel)JUDGING BY THE COVER JR.Dave: The Amazing Spider-Man #19 (Sara Pichelli Variant)Coplan: Twilight Zone #3 (James Stokoe Main)Interview: Andrew Joustra - Tales of TMNT #4 (out Mar 18, 2026, FOC Feb 9th)Recently he wrote the theatrical animated short Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 - Lost in New Jersey for Paramount and is currently writing the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book series for IDW Publishing.Andrew has dwelled in the sewer for a while now, having been the script & recording coordinator for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and currently working as the script supervisor for its sequel.1. Andrew's comics debutAndrew, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #4 marks your comic-writing debut and kicks off a three-issue arc. What did it feel like to finally see your name on a TMNT comic page after working in animation for so long?2. Transition from screen to pageYou've worked as Script Coordinator and Script Manager on Mutant Mayhem and its sequel—what muscles did you have to retrain (or unlearn) when shifting from screenwriting to writing comics?3. Working with Louie JoyceCan you talk about collaborating with Louie Joyce on this arc? How did your scripts leave room for visual storytelling, especially with action and emotion?4. Fugitoid's debut in TalesThis arc introduces Fugitoid into the Tales of the TMNT universe. What made him the right character to bring into this specific corner of TMNT, and what excites you most about using him in this format?5. Anti-AI themes and “Chrome Alone 2”Andrew, you recently wrote the animated short Chrome Alone 2, which has a clear anti-AI message. Without getting into anything off-limits, how important is it for you to sneak big ideas and values into genre storytelling?6. Franchise stewardshipWhat's exciting about Tales of the TMNT specifically as a space for experimentation and tone shifts within the brand?7. Entry point for new readersFor readers who might be jumping into Tales of the TMNT for the first time, what do you think makes this arc—between your voice, Louie's art, and Fugitoid's arrival—a great onboarding point?8. Fun / silly closer: Last one: If the Turtles were brutally honest, which one would give the worst notes on your script—and why would it definitely be Michelangelo?

Two decades after it crash-landed into comics, Fear Agent is still one of the most ferocious, heartfelt, and inventively insane sci-fi adventures ever put to paper. For its 20th anniversary, we bring together the core creative team — Rick Remender, Tony Moore, and Mike Hawthorne — for a no-holds-barred panel looking back at the series that redefined pulp for a new generation. The trio walks through the origins of Heath Huston, the booze-soaked alien-blasting exterminator who somehow became one of the most unexpectedly human heroes in modern comics. They dig into the design choices, tonal shifts, heartbreaks, and hard left turns that shaped the series from its earliest issues to its explosive finale.

If Titans Season 2 were a comic book arc, what title or event would it resemble?As horror experts reinventing what horror means to so many, and horror being more prevalent with the return of EC Comics at Oni, and even Marvel going deeper into gore with polybagged Red Band comics, do you feel like Dragula is part of that same movement of pushing boundaries — treating horror as a living, evolving genre rather than a fixed set of tropes?Evolution of tone: You once described earlier Dragula seasons as DIY, campy, or serious horror. With Titans Season 2 blending those flavors, how would you describe the “recipe” of this new season?With Steve Orlando and Todd McFarlane judging on Titans Season 2 I feel like there more comic book representation on TV than ever, why were they important to weave into your show?Fright Feats twist: The extermination challenges are gone, replaced by mandatory Fright Feats. Why did you feel now was the right time to evolve that part of the competition, and how do you expect it to push the competitors differently?The first challenge is rooted in a spooky staple: reinventing classic Halloween costumes with a return of the Halloween house party. Not to give anything away, but do you have a favorite challenge of the season, and might you say which episodes #'s they are?Making comics is nothing new for you with your Heavy Metal Magazine takeover back in 2021, and a story in DC Horror Presents #1 and Hello Darkness #10! Do you see future opportunities where Dragula and comics collide again — perhaps a Dragula: Titansgraphic novel?

In Part 1 of this in-depth conversation, writer B. Clay Moore reflects on his early years as the marketing director at Image Comics during the early 2000s — a pivotal era when the company was reinventing itself around a new wave of creator-owned talent.Moore discusses working behind the scenes with emerging voices like Rick Remender and Jonathan Hickman, and how Image's independent spirit encouraged creators to take bold storytelling risks that reshaped the comics landscape. Moore also dives into the creation of his breakout series Hawaiian Dick, co-created with artist Steven Griffin — a genre-blending mix of crime noir, tiki-era cool, and supernatural mystery that became a critical and cult favorite for Image. He shares how the concept was born, how he and Griffin developed its striking visual tone, and how the book stood out in an industry dominated by superhero titles.The discussion rounds out with Moore recalling his collaboration with Tony Harris at DC Comics on the acclaimed JSA: The Liberty Files — a gritty espionage reimagining of the Justice Society set during World War II — and their later follow-up project, The Whistling Skull, a pulpy, post-war adventure that expanded their unique corner of the DC Universe.Part 2 airs tomorrow, covering more on Moore's creative process, later volumes of Hawaiian Dick, and his perspective on the modern state of creator-owned comics.

In this 2007 conversation, writer Rick Remender opens up about his breakout creator-owned work and his forays into iconic franchises. He discusses the pulp-fueled intensity of Fear Agent, blending sci-fi adventure with personal tragedy, and the haunting horror of Sorrow, a tale of possession and small-town dread.Remender also previews The End League, his dark, subversive spin on the superhero genre, where flawed champions struggle to hold society together after the fall of the world.Alongside his creator-owned projects, he reflects on his contributions to beloved universes like Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek, sharing how he approached telling new stories in such well-established mythologies. Candid, energetic, and filled with creative insight, this talk captures Remender at a pivotal moment, on the cusp of becoming one of comics' most daring voices.

We're With the Banned, our miniseries on challenged comics and graphic novels, rolls on with a discussion of Yusei Matsui's manga Assassination Classroom Vol. 1: Time for Assassination, published by Viz Media! Consider this a big ol' content warning, as this charming and bizarre story contains many scenes of attempted murder inside a school, as the underachieving students of classroom 3-E are charged with assassinating their teacher! Oh, and that teacher, Koro Sensei, just happens to be a tentacled creature with a giant smiley face for a head, who's already destroyed most of the moon -- and threatens to do the same thing to the planet Earth unless our hapless junior high students can assassinate him before the school year ends! This may be the silliest book we've covered on the podcast – far sillier than Ambush Bug for sure. But will that be enough to win a seat at that cool kids' table known as … The Comics Canon?
