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?

Episode 324. We read Secret Identity by Alex Segura, a prose novel set in the world of 1970s comic book publishers. Carmen Valdez is a publisher's secretary trying to break in as a writer, and when she finally gets the chance to introduce her own superhero, her co-creator winds up dead and her name is missing from the comic's byline. We discuss the myriad mysteries in this book beyond the whodunnit, the moral murkiness that makes it a noir story, the worldbuilding of fictional comic companies alongside the real works of Marvel and DC, and racking up bills taking informants out for dinner.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Secret Identity of Enoch the Scribe!Mysteries of Ancient Wisdom™ with Cub KukerPodcast Episode 574Welcome to the Mysteries of Ancient Wisdom™ Podcast with Cub Kuker (formerly Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast).Today I'll be exploring the true nature of knowledge—what it is, what it is not, and how it differs from simple information. We'll look at its deeper connection to the planet Mercury, the cosmic messenger, and what it truly means to serve as a channel of divine communication. Knowledge is more than data; it is living light, flowing through those who are open to receive and transmit it. Mercury reminds us that when we align with the higher currents of wisdom, we become interpreters of the divine, translating eternal truth into human language.

We're still continuing his run on Thunderbolts with #18 and the rudest French supervillain you'll ever meet, but first we're reading Superman: Secret Identity from 2004, with Stuart Immonen on art.  It's a story about a regular kid named Clark Kent in a regular universe where superheroes only exist in comics, who gets ridiculed constantly for his name. And then he gets powers. Whoa! Join us as we follow this variant Clark Kent through a full lifetime, and we discuss the duality of Busiek. Next Time: We check out the Secret Identity spiritual sequel, Batman: Creature of the Night!

Welcome to the The First Ones, an Our POoRCHoices podcast.  On this series Sarcastro picks a show from yesteryear and then rallies some (or all) of the fellas to join him in recapping just the first episode of said show while dissecting it and determining if it's a show that would fly in today's entertainment landscape. This month Sarcastro selected the late 80's show, My Secret Identity, starring a young Jerry O'Connell just three years off of starring in Stand By Me and 6 years before his stint on Sliders.   Banky joins in to help recall how much they actually don't remember about the show and question the writers' decision to have the power of flight propelled by hairspray cans used to rescue a damsel in distress when the main character had super speed.  As they look to find who could play the main character in a reboot of the series, Sarcastro suggests using Prince Sarcastro as the new teen star and Captain (Sarcastro's dad) as the crazy scientist neighbor.   Intro and outro interpreted and performed by Sarcastro

Clark Kent! What a wimp! I started watching Clark Kent when he was a "mild-mannered reporter," it said, "for a great metropolitan newspaper." I was a kid then. Poor Clark! He always seemed pretty easy to push around, kind of Joe Ordinary; "Clark Can't" really. Of course there was a secret no one in Metropolis suspected. No one knew that underneath that ordinary exterior was his real identity - Superman! Clark knew that he was a whole lot more than meets the eye. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Your Secret Identity, a Secret No More." For many years the ancient Jews had been sort of Clark Kent - pushed around, ordinary, powerless. They had been the slave labor force of the Egyptian Empire, exploited, they were beaten and they were stripped of their dignity. In a word, they were victims. But not any more. No, God had delivered them. They were free! Outside that is, but they hadn't gotten that message inside. The Lord was giving them a super new identity, but they were still "Clark Kent-ing." Our word for today from the Word of God, Leviticus 26, beginning at verse 12 (you're going to like this). God says, "I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people. I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high." Man, listen to who they are! God says, "You are My people, no longer slaves. The bars that have held you have been broken. You can walk with your head held high." God's saying, "I know what you were, but you can stop living like that now. You are liberated! You're Mine!" They were out of Egypt, sure. But Egypt wasn't out of them. They were out of slavery, but the slavery wasn't out of them. You say, "What does that have to do with me?" A lot, especially if that word victim rings a bell in your heart. Because maybe you've been carrying around a lot of hurt. Honestly, there's been rejection, abuse, maybe rape, abandonment, betrayal. In some form, or maybe in many forms you have been the victim of someone else's sin. If you've been through a lot of pain, it is very natural to see your identity as a victim. Like a business card that has your name and your position on it, except yours has a name and it says "Victim." But it doesn't have to be that way if you have given your heart to Jesus Christ. He's called Savior, Redeemer, Healer, and if you have Christ, you have a secret identity. A secret because maybe only He knows who you really are now. You don't have to be what you have been. You are no longer a slave He says. He's broken the bars that held you. You can walk with your head held high. You've been loved by God Himself. You've been cleaned up from the sins of the past - yours and those of others because of Jesus' death on the cross. He's made you a son of the King and daughter of the King. You're a prince; you're a princess. You don't have to make the future an extension of your painful or sinful past. Ask for His grace to turn the page on your past and not be defined by it anymore. To begin a whole new volume. Begin to act as if you are who God says you are, not a victim but a victor. Clark, maybe your secret identity has been secret even to you. But God says you're free! You're royalty! It's not a secret any more. You don't have to crawl anymore. Because of Jesus, you were meant to fly. It all comes together the day you begin your personal relationship with Jesus. That could be right now when you say, "Jesus, I am Yours." He'll make you "a new creation," the Bible says. And our website will help you know you belong to Him. If you can get there today, it's ANewStory.com. This is who you were meant to be - new, because of Jesus. {module Open a chat window - needhim}

Chapter 1 What's The Alter Ego Effect by Todd HermanThe Alter Ego Effect is a concept introduced by Todd Herman that explores the idea of using an alter ego to enhance performance and overcome challenges. In his book, Herman explains how individuals can create a powerful alternative identity that embodies traits they wish to exhibit in high-pressure situations, such as confidence, resilience, or charisma. This method draws on psychological principles, suggesting that by stepping into this persona, people can better manage their emotions, focus their efforts, and access a heightened state of productivity. The Alter Ego Effect can be particularly useful in sports, business, and personal development, as it allows individuals to tap into their inner strengths, break through limitations, and achieve goals that might otherwise feel unattainable. By consciously crafting an alter ego—complete with a backstory, characteristics, and even costumes—users can effectively shift their mindset and behavior, creating a mental space that fosters success.Chapter 2 The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman SummaryIn "The Alter Ego Effect," Todd Herman presents a compelling framework for harnessing the power of an alter ego to achieve personal and professional success. The book revolves around the idea that creating a separate identity can help individuals overcome fears, self-doubt, and limitations that hinder their performance. Key Concepts:Alter Ego Definition: Herman defines an alter ego as a unique persona that embodies the qualities and traits you aspire to possess. This identity allows individuals to tap into different aspects of themselves that may otherwise be suppressed by insecurities or external pressures.Psychological Foundations: The book draws on psychological principles that showcase how embodying an alter ego can help individuals access peak performance states. By adopting a different identity, people can detach from their inner critic and increase their confidence in challenging situations.Identity Creation: Herman provides a step-by-step process for creating an alter ego. This includes: Identifying the traits and qualities you wish to embody. Choosing a name or character that resonates with those qualities. Developing rituals or visual cues that activate the alter ego when needed.Historical Examples: The author highlights examples of famous individuals who have successfully utilized alter egos to triumph in their fields, such as athletes, performers, and entrepreneurs. These stories serve as motivational illustrations of the effectiveness of the approach.Application Across Life: Herman emphasizes that the Alter Ego Effect is not limited to high-stakes environments such as sports or public speaking. It can be applied in various areas of life, including business, personal development, and relationships.Empowerment and Transformation: The overarching message of the book is that everyone has the potential to transcend their limitations through the inventive use of alter egos. By adopting a new identity, individuals can unlock capabilities they didn't know they had, transforming their approach to challenges and opportunities. Conclusion:In "The Alter Ego Effect," Todd Herman inspires readers to embrace their full potential by temporarily stepping into the shoes of an alternate persona. This framework not only fosters greater self-confidence but also encourages a playful and imaginative approach to overcoming the barriers that may hold one back in personal and professional pursuits.Chapter 3 The Alter Ego Effect AuthorTodd Herman is an author and performance expert known for his work in the realms of personal development, sports psychology, and leadership. He gained prominence with his book "The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life", which was released on April 30, 2019....

SECRET IDENTITY, 35min,. UK Directed by Gurjoeth Singh Bassra A closeted gay actor who's known for playing a superhero character on an 80s TV show must confront his dual identity. https://coffeebeanpictures.com/productions https://x.com/CoffeeBeanPicUK https://www.instagram.com/secretidentityfilm/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I was inspired by the story of Kevin Conroy, who remained in the closet for most of his life, and found it very interesting the way he played a superhero character who had a secret identity of his own, and suddenly it clicked, a light bulb turned on and I could feel a story coming to me. It also helped that I was really bored over my summer break so I essentially locked myself in a room, threw away the key, and started writing the first draft of the script. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? It all made sense to me, the sound issues were also apparent to me, but to be entirely honest I kind of just got tired of trying to make the film exactly perfect and figured it was better to release it now or otherwise it will just never get released, and the time I spend trying to make this slightly better could be time I spend on the next project. Overall, I'm happy with how the film turned out. Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

John continues his conversation with Matt Beaudreau. In Part 1, Matt discussed his perspective on education, the flaws in traditional education, the concept of real learning, and his mission to transform the educational system through his organization, Apogee Strong. Matt believes that true education is about developing sovereignty, freedom, and the ability to define your path in life.

Everybody has something amazing to offer the world, and a lot of times, they've learned it through being a total moron and through pain.  They're still also struggling to get better somewhere.” “Be careful on both extremes. If you consume too much and don't put it out, you're like a sponge that's full of water. A sponge is designed to be wrung out so it can absorb again. But if you're always giving and never receiving, you're dry, hard, and kind of brittle.” “Don't get stuck in infobesity. Don't get stuck in just consuming and never acting on what you consume.” “Leaders don't care about the number of followers; they care about building more leaders.” “Good questions are always better than the answers. As soon as you assume you have the answer, you inherently stop growing in that arena.” “It's okay to take a lot away from a book, wrestle with concepts, and say, ‘I don't agree with this, but I do agree with that.' Growth comes from that wrestling.” “At the end of the day, all education ends up being self-education. So there's got to be a bit of self-awareness in there too.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth by Brad Blanton (https://a.co/d/6Dj8gni) The Alter Ego Effect: The Power of Secret Identities to Transform Your Life by Todd Herman (https://a.co/d/3Ugz1Z8) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/CraigGroeschelLeadershipPod) Read to Lead Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/ReadToLeadPodcast) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://apogeestrong.com/ https://www.apogeestrongfoundation.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-beaudreau-071a5b99/ https://www.instagram.com/mattbeaudreau/ https://x.com/MattBeaudreau https://www.facebook.com/matt.beaudrea https://youtu.be/JPAXMNXy5UQ?si=1Mk62agvQHNOKLRm https://youtu.be/fv8tYbljc0s?si=ISC9MBP8EmCIlBwX  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
