Podcast appearances and mentions of Scott Snyder

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by Scott Snyder for one of our favorite conversations of the year. We dive deep into Absolute Batman, the newly announced animated series, why he believes monthly comics need to embrace what makes the medium unique, and the creative philosophy driving one of comics' biggest successes. It's a candid, wide-ranging discussion on storytelling, the future of superhero comics, and why taking big swings matters more than ever.

Dave: A Mischief of Magpies #1 (Bilquis Evely) Chris: Nightwing #140 (Jorge Fornes Main) Interview: Interview: Scott Snyder 1. Manga storytelling influence Joe Kelly recently mentioned how manga like One Piece can devote entire chapters to a single action sequence, something that's harder to replicate in American comics because of page counts and production realities. Is manga storytelling an influence on your work, and do you find yourself thinking about how to capture that same sense of scale and rhythm within Western comics? 2. Marvel and DC I recently spoke with Josh Williamson about writing Iron Man, and it was fascinating hearing how he's consulting on DC projects while also becoming part of Marvel's plans. Seeing creators move more freely between publishers these days, does that ever make you want to jump back into Marvel for another major project? 3. Harley Quinn and Joker The revelation that Joker is Harley's father completely reframes both characters. What made that the right relationship for the Absolute Universe, and what storytelling opportunities does it create that couldn't exist with their traditional dynamic 4. Designing Gotham's monsters Body horror and transformation have become defining visual elements of Absolute Batman. What are your guiding principles when reinventing characters like Poison Ivy, Clayface, and others while still making them instantly recognizable? 8. Absolute Batman animated series You're serving as showrunner on the newly announced Absolute Batman animated series. How does that creative role differ from making comics, and what has surprised you most about translating this version of Batman to animation? 10. Court of Owls Finally, the Court of Owls has entered the picture. Without spoiling anything, what can readers expect from your take on one of the most important Batman concepts you've ever created?

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, writer Mark Russell joins the show to discuss The Forgotten Divine, his new graphic novel from Ahoy Comics, now available to back via Kickstarter. Russell digs into the inspirations behind the story, why he wanted to explore the appeal of cults from the inside out, and how the project ultimately became one of his most personal works yet. We also discuss creativity as a form of belief, and the challenges of telling a complete story in one sitting.

What was the starting point for you, and what did you want to understand or say about that impulse? Rodney feels like a very grounded, human entry point into a story that quickly spirals into something much bigger. How did you approach building him so readers stay with him even as things get more extreme? There's a real balance here between empathy and critique. You can understand why these characters believe what they do, even as things go off the rails. How do you walk that line without judging them or letting them off the hook? The preview pages have some striking bits of philosophy, like “the secret to happiness is low expectations.” How do those ideas emerge for you, and are they things you believe or more reflections of the characters' mindset? The idea that “where you are is who you are” feels especially loaded, almost like a commentary on class, fate, and identity. Was that always baked into the concept, or did it grow as you developed the story? When we glimpse the alien world, it feels almost overwhelming, with that massive eye and the intense color palette. What were your conversations like with Russ Braun in shaping how that world should feel versus how the “real” world reads? You've done a lot of satire, but this feels like it leans harder into psychological and emotional territory. Did this project push you in new directions as a writer? AHOY has built a reputation on smart, risk-taking books, and this is their first Kickstarter. How does that format change how you think about the book, if at all? The story seems to ask whether there's something real behind the visions or if belief itself is the point. How important was it to keep that tension alive rather than give clear answers? Fun one to close: If you started having Rodney's dreams tonight, what's the first sign you'd think, “Okay, I might actually be starting a cult”?

Join Tyler & Jake for a wild, no-holds-barred Episode 261 of Off Panel Off Topic — live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios!

DC Studios dropped three major animation announcements at Annecy this morning, and this episode breaks down all of them. The headliner is an Absolute Batman animated series with the comic's own creative team steering the ship, followed by Joker: Laugh Riot, an original anime that flips the Batman formula on its head, and a Krypto series that brings a much lighter, family-friendly energy to the slate. No manor, no money, all Batman, and that is just the start.Beyond the three big reveals, this one digs into why these announcements matter for the bigger picture. With projects like Mister Miracle from Tom King already in the works, DC is treating animation as a real priority rather than a side project. The takeaway is simple: animation has become the place where these characters can be told accurately and ambitiously, the same way Invincible and X-Men '97 proved the medium can carry the most compelling superhero stories around.00:00:00 DC Studios' Big Annecy Announcements00:00:04 Absolute Batman Gets an Animated Series00:00:29 Joker: Laugh Riot, DC's First Anime00:00:57 Krypto and the SpongeBob Connection00:01:17 Why Animation Is No Longer a Side Project for DC00:01:32 Listener Question and Sign OffAbsolute Batman is getting an animated series with Scott Snyder showrunning and artist Nick Dragotta producing, so the comic's creative team stays intact. No release date yet.The Absolute Batman comic has sold more than 6 million copies, with the first volume already on its 11th printing. This version is a working-class Bruce Wayne with no fortune, no manor, only one parent lost, and a civil engineer who builds all his own tools.Joker: Laugh Riot is an anime from WB Animation, DC Studios, and Japan's SOLA Entertainment, the studio behind The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, with the same director attached.The Joker story is original: after Batman is killed, the Joker tears through Gotham's underworld hunting the culprit, because he realizes he does not know who he is without Batman.The Krypto series is the furthest out and the most lighthearted, following Superman's dog as he runs with a gang of misfit criminals. C.H. Greenblatt of SpongeBob fame is developing it, so expect that playful energy.The bigger story is that DC is putting real weight behind animation now, with Mister Miracle from Tom King and more on the way. Following the lead of Invincible and X-Men '97, animation is where these comic-accurate stories can truly shine."If you're not on the absolute train yet, get on it. It's so good.""He works on the city during the day, fights crime at night, and he's beefy as hell.""Animation is no longer a side project for these guys. They're actually putting a lot of mustard behind this."For the latest geek news, head to GeekFreaksPodcast.com, our source for everything covered on the show.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave a review, and share it with a fellow geek using #GeekFreaks.Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcastThreads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastFrank: @franklourence79Thomas: @thomascraigviiiAre you reading Absolute Batman?

In this landmark episode of The Marvelists, hosts Peter and Eddie sit down with the legendary Frank Miller for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation that spans decades of comic book history, raw creative wisdom, and a few Hell's Kitchen hot dogs. The discussion kicks off with Frank's powerful new book Push the Wall — how it came together, the raw personal fire behind it, and the hard-earned advice he wishes someone had given him earlier in his career. From there, the trio celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Dark Knight Returns, reflecting on the seismic impact it still has today. Frank opens up about his early Marvel days, sharing warm and wild memories of working with Jim Shooter and the late great Neal Adams. The conversation naturally flows into his transformative run on Daredevil, the character that made him a household name, and whether a return to the Man Without Fear is even on the table. He also dives deep into his latest project, Ronin Rising, breaking down the collaborative process with artist Philip Tan and what it felt like revisiting that world. Things get delightfully goofy when Peter and Eddie hit Frank with the ultimate New York question: what are the best places to eat in Hell's Kitchen? The answers do not disappoint. Later, Frank geeks out over tools of the trade, talking shop about his favorite Blackwing pencils. The episode builds toward the future as he previews the upcoming Push the Wall tour, leading into a heartfelt moment where Peter asks what it's been like watching Scott Snyder explode as a major Batman voice — and what advice Frank has personally given him along the way. Finally, with DC's Absolute line crushing it, the hosts ask the million-dollar question: if Frank were handed the keys to reinvent any character for the line, who would he choose and why? Funny, reflective, inspiring, and packed with stories only Frank Miller could tell — this is an episode every comic fan needs to hear. New episodes of The Marvelists drop weekly.

Career / Process You broke in around 2006, and you're now pushing close to two decades in comics. How has your approach to storytelling changed from those early years to now? You've been at this for nearly 20 years at this point. What's something you understand about comics today that you wish you knew when you started? You're writing across multiple major franchises right now. How do you shift your voice between something like Superman, Iron Man, and G.I. Joe? On top of all this, you wrote a story in Creepshow Vol. 4 #5 titled Artificial Ignorance. Was that a story you had in a drawer, or…how did that come to be? Superman / Superboy-Prime Superboy-Prime has always been a volatile character, but here he feels almost desperate to prove himself. How do you balance his edge with making him someone readers want to follow? With Manchester Black entering the picture, what excites you about putting those two characters in conflict specifically? Any Superman elements/tropes you want to touch? Iron Man You've said Tony Stark is one of your favorite characters. What's something about Tony that you feel hasn't been explored enough in past runs?

Dragotta shares the project's Frank Miller-meets-manga blend of influences, his "yes and" collaboration with Scott Snyder, and the bold visual decisions that shaped the book's identity.

Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord surprised us in the best way possible. Going into this new Star Wars series, our expectations were fairly modest. While Darth Maul has always been one of the franchise's most iconic villains, we weren't convinced that another Maul-centered story would bring anything new to the table. After watching all ten episodes, we're happy to admit we were wrong. In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we give our full spoiler-filled review of Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord, discussing the story, characters, action sequences, major reveals, connections to Star Wars lore, and what the future could hold for Darth Maul and the galaxy far, far away. COLD OPEN (First 21 Minutes) Before diving into Maul Shadow Lord, we discuss several major topics from the worlds of comic books, superhero movies, and pop culture: • Why Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder has become such a massive success • Bruce Wayne's lack of an internal monologue and how it changes the character • Why readers are embracing a more violent, immature, and physically imposing Batman • The new Supergirl movie teaser and Kara Zor-El's first meeting with Superman • Our upcoming Supergirl review and discussion of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow • Lex Luthor's comic-accurate power suit from the recent Superman set photos • First impressions of the Lanterns television series trailer • The future of the DC Universe under James Gunn FULL SPOILER REVIEW After the cold open, we jump into a deep spoiler discussion of Maul Shadow Lord. We discuss: • Darth Maul's character development • The show's fast-paced storytelling • The impressive lightsaber duels and action sequences • New Star Wars characters and villains • The shocking reveal in Episode 9 • Connections to The Phantom Menace • What happened to Maul after Naboo • Star Wars canon and lore implications • The future of Maul's criminal empire • The next chapter of Star Wars animation and television While Maul Shadow Lord isn't necessarily groundbreaking television, we found it to be one of the most enjoyable and cohesive Star Wars projects in recent memory. The series expands Darth Maul's story in meaningful ways, delivers exciting action, introduces compelling new characters, and leaves fans with plenty to speculate about moving forward. If you're a fan of Star Wars, Darth Maul, The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Phantom Menace, Andor, Ahsoka, Star Wars lore, comic books, superhero media, or pop culture discussions, this episode is for you.

It amazes me sometimes that, 242 episodes into this whole thing. how many stories we still haven't read. When Jason Todd tier backer Kyle Still came to me with his options for this week's episode, and one of them included the Batman and Robin tie-in to the Joker-centric event "Death of the Family" I realized that we had never actually done the main arc from Scott Snyder's run on Batman. So, well, that sort of settled things. This week we read a story that features, as Will calls him, "the gayest Joker ever," as Joker, who at this point has no face, does everything he can to show how much he loves Batman in stories from the New 52 volumes of Batman, Batman and Robin and (sort of anyway) Detective Comics. Death of the Family (Batman V.2 # 13-17) Little Big Man (Batman and Robin V.2 # 15-16) Nothin' But Smiles (Detective Comics V.2 # 16-17) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

Look what the cat dragged in. Absolute Catwoman #1 is out now wherever rad comic books are sold, and we're joined this week by co-writer Che Grayson to discuss the first issue in detail. Yes, this is another full spoilers conversation. So, if you haven't read the comic yet, press pause, go do so, and hit us up when you're done. You've previously heard Grayson's co-writer Scott Snyder say on Comic Book Couples Counseling that Absolute Catwoman is the Batman of this universe. She's got the money. She's got the butler. She's got the gadgets. And, now, with Absolute Catwoman #1, we see she's got the Cat Family. How does that actually work, though? We get into it with Che Grayson. But first, we must discuss Comic-Con season. It's here. HeroesCon is this weekend. Not only can you attend and meet Che Grayson and Scott Snyder (as well as a whole bunch of other Absolute creators), you can also attend our Live Podcast Recording with Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer.

If you're attending HeroesCon, make sure you're in Room 207CD at 3:30 PM on Friday, June 12th. If you can't attend, don't worry, that event will arrive in your podcast feeds next Wednesday. You may have heard that Absolute Catwoman #1 also serves as a springboard for the Absolute Cassandra Cain one-shot, also written by Che Grayson with art by Matias Bergara. Yup, keep your ears peeled to this week's podcast, we talk all about Cain and how she fits into Selina's Cat Family. Absolute Catwoman #1 is in shops as of today. It's written by Che Grayson and Scott Snyder, illustrated by Bengal, colored by Giovanna Niro, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni. Follow Che Grayson on Instagram and their Website.

Most restaurant brands think their problem is sales. Scott Snyder thought he was walking into a franchise sales problem at Badass Coffee of Hawaii. What he found was much bigger: a brand with enormous recall, loyal memories, and a great product, but almost none of the infrastructure required to grow.In this episode, Scott breaks down the first question every operator has to answer before opening or expanding: will anyone remember this?He explains why a restaurant needs more than good food, good coffee, or a clever name. It needs a unique, ownable truth that guests can feel, repeat, and share. From there, the business has to support that promise through product, systems, training, technology, franchisee trust, and a guest experience that delivers consistently.We talk about brand memory, social storytelling, local content, merchandise, franchisee buy-in, and why being memorable is not the same thing as being ready to grow.This is the episode for anyone trying to build a concept that does not disappear into the noise.To go deeper, download the free 2026 Restaurant Playbook at joshkopel.com/square_________________________________________________________Today's episode was brought to you by Square.

Absolute Batman write Scott Snyder said the quiet part out loud. It's hard to get a comic storyline to last past six or eight issues because readers drop the book after the first couple. He also says that there's some inflation going on with comic book numbers, but stops short of saying the industry is NOT in a good place right now. One of the reasons for the short attention span? He says streaming (i.e. Netflix) but... c'mon. We know that's not what's actually going on here. Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

Dave: Marc Spector: Moon Knight #3 (Ryan Stegman) Alex: Sorcerer Supreme #5 1:25 Mingyi Gan Variant Interview: PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE and RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE - Out May 20 - (FOC April 27)  For Pornsak Pichetshote: This book leans hard into urban horror and murder mystery. What drew you to reimagining Green Arrow through that lens rather than a more traditional superhero approach? For Rafael Albuquerque: The visuals carry a lot of mood and unease. How did you approach designing a version of this world that feels grounded but still heightened enough for horror? Trick arrows, yes or no? For Pornsak: Dinah Lance is effectively our entry point into this mystery. What made her the right character to lead the story instead of Oliver himself? For Rafael: This series deals with violence in a more unsettling, investigative way. How do you balance making those moments impactful without overwhelming the reader? For Pornsak: The suspect list of archers is a clever way to tap into DC history. How did you decide which characters to include, and how do you make each feel distinct within the mystery? For both: This series is arriving after several Absolute titles have already established the tone and expectations of the line. How did you think about fitting into that larger world while still carving out your own identity? For Pornsak: There's a question at the heart of issue #2 about whether the killer is something to stop or understand. How important is moral ambiguity to this version of Green Arrow? For Rafael: Oliver Queen's presence looms large even in death. How did you approach visual storytelling around a character who is central but not always physically there? Fun question for both: If you had to survive in this world and pick one DC archer to have your back, who are you choosing… and who are you absolutely avoiding?

The Yeti is back! Finally after an extended absence for a lupus flare I'm back and what an episode to return with because I've got returning guest comics writer Pornsak Pichetshote and first timer legendary comics artist Rafael Albuquerque on with me to discuss their new DC Comics project Absolute Green Arrow. Highlights from the episode include a deep dive into how the creative team is reimagining Oliver Queen not just as an archer but as a mysterious figure in a Giallo inspired murder mystery where corrupt billionaires are the targets, how Scott Snyder and DC editorial granted total creative freedom to reinvent the Green Arrow mythology from scratch, the visual look of the book influenced by 70s thriller textures and a vintage comics like Daredevil providing the feel Rafael and colorist Marcelo Maiolo are bringing to the page, the mystery of Absolute Black Canary or Dinah Lance and why she is the real heart of the story, and the impact of masters of horror comics like Junji Ito and Bernie Wrightson on the series. Follow Pornsak on Instagram Rafael's website Devil's Luck: A Hailstone Story Season 2 Absolute Green Arrow from the publisher WITHOUT THE TRICK ARROWS... WITHOUT THE MONEY... WITHOUT MERCY... WHAT'S LEFT IS THE ABSOLUTE HUNTER! A serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires. The only clue to their identity is the mysterious green arrows sticking out of his victims' corpses. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, a.k.a. Absolute Black Canary, is one of the people tasked to uncover this murderer's identity as she investigates her suspects... all familiar DC archers uniquely linked to a recently murdered Oliver Queen. I Know What You Did Last Summer for billionaires, Absolute Green Arrow reimagines the Emerald Archer's mythos into a dangerous, urban horror murder-mystery by Eisner winners Pornsak Pichetshote (Dead Boy Detectives, Infidel) and Rafael Albuquerque (Detective Comics, American Vampire).

Todays Guest on the Pod we bring you Aaron Cohen and the all too humorous Schticks & Stones Holiday Special Live on Kickstarter. Aaron's work in this particular book started within Scott Snyder's Best Jackett Workshops where he developed the comic strip styling of Schticks & Stones as a Hilarious Passover special into the anthology The Cloak Room books on Kickstarter. The book highlights the Fineman Family mainly our young protaganist Ben whom within each book designed around 3 Jewish Holidays: Passover, Hannakuh, and Purim and in the spirit of Sunday morning Comic strips. The Stories (Crime and Passover, Eight, and Rich Dad, Purim Dad) line themselves as Mysteries and Ben is the lead Detective. He navigates the family gatherings amidst all the chaos and just wants to not be stuck at the little kids table anymore during dinner.Alex Schumacher builds an excellent character design as Ben along with his do-good Cousin Mark and the rest of the Fineman Family. If you like the Family Circle, Calvin and Hobbes, Doonesbury this comic is for you.Written by Aaron CohenArtwork by Alex SchumacherColors by Ralf SinghLetters by Taylor Esposito

BatMarch IV continues with Absolute Batman Vol. 2: Abomination by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta and Marcos Martin But first, what did we think about the trailers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Dune 3? What makes Absolute Jake different than regular Jake? Is brutal the best way to describe this volume? Is volume 2 better than volume 1? What other DC Absolute titles have we covered and how do the second volumes of each compare? Did this comic edgemaxx us? How do we feel about Absolute Mr. Freeze and his Slenderman deisgn? Did this arc remind us of The Court of Owls? What other glimpses do we get of Batman villains in Ark M? Does this volume feel like a body horror comic? Is Absolute Bruce Wayne almost the ideal height and weight for a stoner? Do we like Absolute Catwoman's costume? Is Absolute Alfred fucked? Was Bane's backstory one of the best parts of the volume and is it different from the main Bane? Who is Absolute JK Rowling? Did Waylon aka Killer Croc get messed up the most by Bane? How did we feel about Absolute Red Hood/Harley Quinn? Would Azrael fit well in the Absolute Universe? Is Joker the Epstein of the Absolute Universe? What is Bane's ultimate plan for Batman? What does Batman do to try and escape from Ark M and Bane? What movie immediately comes to mind when we hear “guano”? How do we feel about the final fight between Batman and Bane? What was the “Jake and Cody” moment in the comic? What characters would we be in this volume? Is this one of the best selling comics/series in the last year? What does Cody have to say about Ultron?New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

You're returning to the world of Event Horizon after Dark Descent. At what point did you know you had the green light to continue this story, and was Inferno always part of your long-term plan, or did it grow out of the response to the first series? 2. The solicitation pitches this as “Aliens meets Dante's Inferno.” That's a big swing. How consciously are you leaning into the structure or themes of Dante's Inferno, and does this story descend through its own version of circles of Hell? 3. Setting the story two hundred years after the original incident gives you a massive time jump. What does that distance allow you to explore that you could not in Dark Descent? 5.5. You have a compelling mix of characters working for the billionaire. How do you balance their personalities and backstories? Do you flesh out a cast, then go, “hmmm i'm mixing X”? 4. The idea of a billionaire assembling a private star fleet to plunder the wreckage feels very modern in its cynicism. Were you intentionally tapping into contemporary anxieties about unchecked wealth and corporate ambition? 6. The gravity drive has always been the heart of the horror in Event Horizon. In Inferno, does the focus shift more toward the metaphysical implications of interdimensional travel, or are we going even harder into physical, visceral terror? 7. Rob Carey joins you on art for this series. What does he bring visually that makes this version of Event Horizon feel distinct from Dark Descent? 7.5. Love the suits these characters wear. How do you design something that's new, but also as cool as something we've seen in a sci-fi movie before? 8. After revisiting this universe twice now, how do you personally define what “Hell” is in  Event Horizon? Is it a place, an entity, a force of nature, or something humanity carries with it into the stars?

We talk all things Infernal Hulk, from why this era of Hulk is finally colliding with the wider Marvel Universe to how Johnson has reshaped Bruce Banner's world into a Southern Gothic monster epic rooted in Marvel lore. Along the way, we get into the X-Men crossover, the Living City, Dungeons of Doom, his new Marvel exclusive deal, and the bigger plans quietly building beneath the surface of his Hulk run.

Dave: Absolute Batman #18 (TONS of retailer covers but going with Dexter Soy) Chris: Logan: Black, White & Blood #3 (Chris Campana Variant) Interview: Phillip Kennedy Johnson 1. On Horror as Hulk's Natural State With Infernal Hulk, you've fully repositioned Hulk as a horror icon rather than just a force of destruction. What makes horror such a natural lens for this character, and what aspects of Bruce and Hulk feel newly unlocked for you in that genre? 2. On Marvel Exclusivity & Timing You're now officially Marvel exclusive while also wrapping up Book of El at DC. Creatively, what does this moment represent for you? Does going exclusive feel like narrowing your focus, or opening up the sandbox in a bigger way? 3. On Bruce Without the Monster One of the smartest pivots in this run has been stripping Bruce away from the Hulk and forcing him to watch the consequences. What fascinates you most about Bruce when he's powerless and confronted with what the Hulk becomes without him? 4. On Writing Other Heroes Judging Bruce You've written the wider Marvel Universe reacting to Bruce in a way that feels tense, even cruel at times. Why was it important that the heroes not simply rally around him? 6. On the Living City Concept The Living City feels mythic, grotesque, and operatic all at once. What inspired that setting, and how important is it that Hulk's world now feels almost biblical in scope? 7. On INFERNAL HULK #7 and the X-Men In issue #7, Hulk exerts mysterious control over mutantkind and draws them into the Living City. That's a bold escalation. What makes the X-Men the right foil for this version of Hulk, and how does their connection to identity and mutation complicate what Eldest is doing? 7. You and Ben Percy are both playing in Marvel's darker corners right now, and “Dungeons of Doom” has that same horror-forward energy we're seeing in Infernal Hulk. What's it been like working alongside Ben in shaping that space, and how do you make sure your vision of horror and mythic stakes complements rather than overlaps with what he's building? 8. Fun Silly Question If Eldest decided to build the perfect army out of Marvel characters purely based on vibes, who would absolutely make the cut… and who would Eldest reject immediately for being “bad monster material”? 9. Any other projects you'd like to plug?
