Podcast appearances and mentions of Simon Furman

In this episode, we roll out with Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman, the legendary minds behind the original Transformers comics from Marvel and Marvel UK respectively. With Skybound's massive compendiums reigniting interest in both series, we dive deep into how a Japanese toy line transformed into a pop culture juggernaut. Bob shares how Transformers first landed on his desk at Marvel and the challenges of writing 50+ issues while constantly introducing new characters. Simon discusses navigating the complexities of fitting UK stories around US continuity and eventually taking over the US title himself. Together, they reflect on their favorite characters, what made Transformers such a lasting property, and the creative synergy—and surprises—between their respective runs. It's a must-listen for fans who want to go beyond the robots in disguise and hear the human stories behind the mythos.  Skybound's Compendium Set Kickstarter campaign goes until May 7, so be sure to back it here before time runs out: http://kck.st/4i3ts31.Support the show

Boo and Evan have completed the first story arc of Simon Furman's delve into the Marvel Transformers book and go right into the story, "Raiders of the Last Ark." The story seems to be setting up the ultimate US Marvel cover with "Are All Dead." But...there seems to be a distinct lack of Transformers in the UK comic, but never too little Machine Man. At least its more enjoyable?If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you'd like to toss a buck or more per episode, we'd adore and say nice things about you.

Dreamwave issues 14-18 - Worlds Collide We return to the Dreamwave Armada comic for its final arc, which looks an awful lot like a Generation 1 comic instead. Wada forgets what anime looks like, Jo struggles to feign interest in Optimus Prime doing nothing for four issues, and Simon Furman manages to write misogynistic dialogue in a story with no women. Plus, we finally discover the central theme of Armada!   Follow the podcast on Twitter: @OurWorldsPod Wadapan: @TheWadapan Jolene: @lesbianautica Podcast art by Claudia: @ActualSkullgrin

Dreamwave issues 6-13 - Fortress We once again take a break from the cartoon to have a look at Simon Furman's debut on the Armada comic, which leans into his strengths — though they might not be what you think! Emergent themes, the full spectrum of Dreamwave art, and a villain that's ruthlessly committed to dialectics: we ended up enjoying this one more than we thought we would!   Follow the podcast on Twitter: @OurWorldsPod Wadapan: @TheWadapan Jolene: @lesbianautica Podcast art by Claudia: @ActualSkullgrin

Il arrive parfois que les comics décident d'embrasser de nobles causes. Mais pas toujours de la façon la plus judicieuse. Revenons à l'époque où Marvel pensait que la meilleure solution pour sauver la planète, c'était de filer des flingues aux dauphins… Si vous avez grandi durant les années 1980 et 1990, vous savez à quel point ces décennies symbolisent le règne des merdes en plastique. Depuis le succès colossal de Star Wars en 1977, et de la ligne de figurines commercialisée par Kenner, tous les fabricants de jouets cherchent la licence qui cartonnera auprès des gosses. Les Transformers et les G.I. Joe de Hasbro, les Cosmocats de LJN, les fameux Maîtres de l'Univers de Mattel, sans oublier le succès des Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles de Playmates, autant de bonshommes en plastoc qui envahissent la chambre des enfants et vident le porte-monnaie des parents. Paradoxalement, tandis que la promotion de ces nouvelles figures de la Pop Culture est assurée par des dessins animés diffusés à la télévision, c'est aussi à cette période que diverses productions commencent à sensibiliser le jeune public à l'écologie. De Captain Planet à Widget, en passant par SOS Polluards et certaines séries de Tokusatsu, les messages incitant les enfants à protéger la nature et la vie sauvage sont partout. C'est en 1989, dans ce contexte qui mêle surproduction d'action figures et éveil quant à l'importance de notre environnement, que Marvel Comics demande au designer Charles Viola de concevoir des personnages qui pourraient devenir une ligne de jouets à succès. Fort d'avoir su adapter en comic book les G.I. Joe et les Transformers, et de l'accueil commercial, quelques années auparavant, de la gamme Secret Wars développée avec Mattel, l'éditeur américain est persuadé de pouvoir vendre les droits de ses nouveaux héros à un fabricant de jouets pour une petite fortune. Il faut dire que, même si on l'a un peu oublié aujourd'hui, il fut une époque où la Maison des Idées était experte en matière de partenariats plus ou moins pérenne : de ROM le chevalier de l'espace, avec Parker Brothers, à Dazzler en collaboration avec Casablanca Records, en passant par la Saga de Crystar, avec Remco, Marvel Comics a, notamment durant les années 1980, multiplié les coentreprises à double sens, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Le premier numéro de Brute Force sort en juin 1990, soit trois mois avant la première diffusion de Captain Planet à la télévision et plus d'un an avant son adaptation en comic book par Marvel, qui ne connaîtra que douze numéros, mais c'est une tout autre histoire. Pourtant, Brute Force n'est pas véritablement une série initiatrice de tendance pour la bande dessinée américaine, le Animal Man de Grant Morrison la précédant de plusieurs années. Elle est néanmoins totalement dans l'air du temps en ce qui concerne ses thématiques, même si son approche est largement perfectible. Scénarisée par Simon Furman et dessinée par Jose Delbo, la mini-série en quatre numéros s'ouvre sur l'attaque d'un laboratoire de la société Multicorp, dans lequel travaille le scientifique Randall Pierce. Une équipe de clowns armés jusqu'aux dents, sans doute échappée du fast-food du coin, fait irruption alors que le docteur Pierce pratique une opération extrêmement délicate visant à sauver la vie d'un gorille en le transformant en cyborg. Après que le commando costumé ait pris la fuite en emportant avec lui l'animal amélioré, Randall Pierce s'empresse de prévenir son patron, Monsieur Frost, qui ne semble pas vraiment paniqué par la situation, et lui interdit formellement de prévenir la police. Après quelques tergiversations d'ordre moral et un échange avec son fils autour des responsabilités qui nous incombent vis-à-vis de notre belle planète bleue, le docteur Pierce décide finalement que le meilleur moyen d'aller sauver son gorille est de transformer d'autres animaux, innocents et en parfaite santé, en machines de guerre. Surfstreak le dauphin, Lionheart le lion, Soar l'aigle, Wreckless l'ours, et Hip Hop le kangourou, voilà les cinq animaux qui vont former une équipe d'un genre nouveau : Brute Force !Désormais dotés d'une intelligence supérieure et de la parole, équipés de lance-roquettes, de canons lasers, et capables de se transformer en véhicules, nos cyber-animaux sont donc envoyés en mission en dépit du bon sens, sans aucune précaution ou prise en considération des dommages qu'ils pourraient causer. Des débuts difficiles, presque burlesques, tant les membres de Brute Force peinent à coopérer. Entre leur incapacité à utiliser leur équipement et leurs caractères incompatibles, cette première mission est un semi-échec, puisqu'ils ne parviennent pas à récupérer le gorille, mais réussissent tout de même à protéger le village d'une tribu amazonienne d'un groupe paramilitaire qui voulait les exproprier. On découvre à la fin du premier numéro que les mercenaires en question portaient de l'équipement conçu par Multicorp, et que l'homme derrière les malversations criminelles qui ont mené au kidnapping du gorille n'est autre que son président : Monsieur Frost ! L'épisode se conclut sur la première apparition de l'équipe de super-animaux antagonistes créée par Frost pour tenir tête à Brute Force : Heavy Metal !Un requin, un rhinocéros, une pieuvre, un vautour, et le fameux gorille capturé plus tôt, de “vilains” animaux qui ont à leur tour été transformés en machines destructrices.Dans le numéro suivant, le docteur Pierce se questionne sur sa décision de transformer les membres de Brute Force, tandis que les animaux cybernétiques apprendront à leurs dépens que leur nouvelle condition inédite ne leur permettra pas de trouver facilement une place dans notre monde. On assiste au premier affrontement avec Heavy Metal, qui a pour objectif de faire couler un pétrolier, et Frost parvient finalement à faire arrêter Pierce, qu'il fait passer pour le méchant de l'histoire. Le troisième épisode alerte le jeune lecteur sur les dangers de la pollution, en mettant en scène une créature mutante transformée par un environnement toxique créé de toutes pièces par Frost comme une simulation de l'écosystème du futur. Et enfin, le quatrième et dernier numéro oppose les animaux de Brute Force à de faux activistes anti-nucléaire, qui s'avéreront être envoyés par Frost, avant leur affrontement final avec Heavy Metal. Brute Force parvient à arrêter Frost avec l'aide du docteur Pierce, et décident de continuer à travailler ensemble pour sauver la planète, malgré leurs différences. Ironiquement, cet ultime épisode se termine par “The Beginning”, ou “Le Commencement” dans la langue du docteur Klein, mais la suite des aventures de Brute Force va se faire attendre. Brute Force est une mini-série pleine de contradictions. Pensée pour parler à un jeune public ; elle devait dans un premier temps être publiée sur le label STAR de Marvel, regroupant les titres à destination des enfants ; elle adopte pourtant un ton acide qui se moque des multinationales et de la malbouffe, dénonce les prémices de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui le “greenwashing” et va jusqu'à traiter d'écoterrorisme. Mais, en parallèle, Brute Force passe totalement à côté de son message écolo sur de nombreux points, à commencer par la nature même de ses héros. Protéger la nature en transformant d'innocents animaux sauvages en armes de guerre destructrices, un non-sens total qui ne semble interpeller personne chez Marvel. Pas plus que de propager un message totalement idiot à base de “gentils” et de “méchants” animaux rempli de clichés éculés : le sympathique dauphin contre le vilain requin, l'aigle majestueux contre le vautour malfaisant, et ainsi de suite. Tout ça est justifié de façon plus ou moins implicite par une formule que l'on pourrait synthétiser en “c'est cool, donc ça passe”, une vision décérébrée - et typiquement américaine - dans laquelle la violence et les armes règlent pas mal de problèmes. Le scénariste Simon Furman et l'équipe éditoriale formée par Bob Budiansky, Tom Brevoort et Tom DeFalco se renvoient d'ailleurs volontiers la balle quand il s'agit de déterminer de qui vient telle ou telle idée. Un peu comme si assumer la paternité de Brute Force n'était pas la plus grande fierté de leur carrière, et on peut le comprendre. La série possède quand même quelques points fort remarquables, comme les dessins de l'Argentin Jose Delbo, qui avait déjà œuvré sur les adaptations en comics des Transformers et des Thundercats pour Marvel, mais aussi, dans un genre totalement différent, sur Wonder Woman chez DC Comics. L'artiste parvient de façon assez surprenante à donner un peu de crédibilité à ces personnages, mélanges improbables d'animaux réalistes et de robots aux points d'articulation similaires à ceux de figurines faites pour être moulées à la chaîne. L'ensemble est plutôt agréable graphiquement, tout en restant assez enfantin dans l'esprit. Le fond est loin d'être bête et la personnification des différents animaux est parfois intéressante, notamment quand il s'agit d'opposer leurs caractères distincts et leur soif de leadership. L'écriture très directe des personnages se heurte donc à un aspect visuel digne d'une série pour enfants des années 1980, si bien que l'on ne saisit plus vraiment quel est le public visé. Les aventures de nos animaux cybernétiques s'inspirent également de véritables catastrophes écologiques contemporaines de leur publication pour sensibiliser le jeune lectorat qui, avouons-le, est certainement passé à côté de toutes ces références bien trop sérieuses. Une dichotomie qui n'échappe finalement à personne une fois passées les portes des bureaux de Marvel Comics, dont la stratégie commerciale vis-à-vis des fabricants de jouets s'avère pour le moins bancale. Résultat : Brute Force tombe dans l'oubli pendant plus de vingt ans. Exception faite d'une équipe de monstres génétiquement modifiés créés par Arnim Zola et affrontant les Thunderbolts le temps de quelques épisodes, en 1999, il faut attendre 2014 pour revoir la Brute Force originale en action, dans les pages du premier numéro de Deadpool Bi-Annual. Engagé pour empêcher des militants écologistes de s'en prendre à un parc aquatique qui maltraite des animaux marins, le mercenaire provocateur va faire face aux défenseurs de la nature : les super animaux de Brute Force ! Un épisode assez réussi et plutôt amusant, qui assume pleinement le côté kitsch de ces animaux robotisés, et dont l'autodérision, Deadpool oblige, contraste fortement avec le ton presque grave de la mini-série d'origine. Quoi qu'on en pense, ce Deadpool Bi-Annual officialise le statut canonique de Brute Force au sein de l'univers Marvel, chose qui n'avait jamais été clairement établie auparavant, et ouvre la porte à l'utilisation de l'équipe dans d'autres histoires. En 2019, le one-shot Wolverine & Captain America : Weapon Plus éclaire le lecteur sur les individus améliorés de l'univers Marvel, notamment sur la création des animaux de Brute Force, mais aussi sur l'existence d'autres super-animaux liés au programme Weapon Plus, comme Weapon II, l'écureuil qui possède les mêmes pouvoirs que Wolverine… Et oui, tout est possible dans les comics. Le sujet des animaux modifiés par la science est d'ailleurs assez vaste dans la bande dessinée américaine. Rien que chez Marvel, on pourrait parler de Rocket Racoon, ou des Power Pachyderms, une équipe pour le moins étonnante constituée d'éléphants exposés aux radiations d'une bombe atomique avant leur naissance et ayant développé des super pouvoirs. Un seul numéro de cette étrange parodie a été publié en 1989, et il figure sûrement sur la liste des armes de guerre interdites sur le site d'Amnesty International. Dans un genre beaucoup plus moderne, We3 de Grant Morrison et Frank Quitely fait écho à Brute Force en racontant comment un chien, un chat et un lapin sont transformés en machines de guerre hi-tech. Une brillante mini-série, aux thématiques très actuelles, dont je vous recommande chaudement la lecture. Si j'ai voulu vous parler de Brute Force, au-delà de son aspect déconcertant, c'est parce que cette série est la preuve que l'on peut réfléchir de plein de façons différentes sur la BD, même quand l'objet de cette réflexion paraît totalement idiot au premier abord. Malgré ses motivations mercantiles et sa combinaison aliénée d'idées contradictoires, la mini-série de Furman et Delbo lance quelques pistes qui ne sont pas intéressantes et restent très pertinentes trois décennies plus tard, d'autant plus quand on l'analyse avec un regard critique quant aux desseins initiaux de Marvel. Qui aurait pu s'en douter en 1990, quand ça semblait normal de donner un bazooka à un ours ? Avant de terminer, si les thématiques soulevées par Brute Force vous intéressent, je vous recommande d'aller faire un tour sur le blog de Ecologeek, une véritable mine d'or en la matière ! N'hésitez pas à partager cet article sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !Recevez mes articles, podcasts et vidéos directement dans votre boîte mail, sans intermédiaire ni publicité, en vous abonnant gratuitement !Retrouvez le podcast POP CULTURE & COMICS sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute en cliquant ici !   Get full access to CHRIS - POP CULTURE & COMICS at chrisstup.substack.com/subscribe

[DISCUSSION] Way back in episode 16 we made a rod for our back by talking about Transformers Armada, the first in a trio of Transformers franchises that would become known as the Unicron Trilogy. Thus dooming ourselves to talk about the subsequent two parts.... and this is episode covers the much maligned second part of the trilogy... Transformers Energon! We discuss the show, the 'plot' the bad dubbing, the Japanese Superlink show, the terrible pacing, the lazy theme tune, the surprisingly overlooked toys and much much more!Credits:Hosts: Virtual Dave and Orion GhiaClip of Episode 25 features: Simon FurmanEditing and Production: Orion GhiaIntro music and stings: Oliver PrimeOutro Music: The VidiprinterClips taken from: Transformers Energon and Transformers SuperlinkLinksTransformers Energon episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ww_XWhJ-Q&list=PLDDB6F272B52928F6Transformers Superlink episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvCBKFpf6jM&list=PLPNHgwrrD-gjUCy6_rtUK0dPAkGlP5bfyThe 'missing' episode "Return!

Breaking in with Marvel UK and 2000 AD (the one-two punch for many British comics creators), artist Barry Kitson has enjoyed a long and influential career. You may know him from Transformers (with past guest Simon Furman),  his early DC work on L.E.G.I.O.N. and Azrael, or from the classic JLA: Year One (with writers Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn). He reteamed with Waid on Empire, a fantastic, underrated series about a supervillain who actually conquered the world. It started at the Image imprint Gorilla Comics, but was completed at DC. Since then, he's been a steady presence at DC and Marvel, penciling everything from The Titans and Legion of Super-Heroes to the Amazing Spider-Man and The Order.  You can follow Barry on all the socials: @BarryKitsonArt.__________________________________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

[DISCUSSION/INTERVIEW] Continuing our new series of 'Conversations with...' podcasts, Orion Ghia sits down with the daddy of Death's Head, the genesis of Jhiaxus, the progenitor of Primus, the mastermind of Marvel UK… the one and only Simon Furman! Arguably one of the most influential creators and certainly the most consistently present and prolific throughout the now almost 40 years of the franchise, Simon chats with Orion about his work on the Transformers comics from the original Marvel run to Dreamwave to IDW... plus his creator owned work like To The Death, the forthcoming Astrobots and much more!nb. Due to a nasty chest infection Dave was unable to attend the interview... but he is better now so we have a nice chat about Simon's work and the interview afterward.Credits:Hosts: Virtual Dave and Orion GhiaSpecial Guest: Simon FurmanEditing and Production: Orion GhiaIntro music and stings: Oliver PrimeOutro Music: The VidiprinterLinksSimon Furman Profile: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Simon_FurmanSimon Furman Twitter: https://twitter.com/SimonFurman3To The Death! https://getmycomics.com/ToTheDeathAstrobots Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0aoNJVZkscAstrobots Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Astrobot08Whatnot Publishing Astrobots Solicits: https://whatnotpublishing.shop/blogs/news/transformers-simon-furman-does-astrobots-whatnot-publishing-march-2023-solicitsBleeding Cool Article on Astrobots: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/transformers-simon-furman-does-astrobots-whatnot-march-2023-solicits/ Hosted on Acast.

Transformers! Transformers, Transformers, Transformers. If you don't like where this is going, abandon ship now, because our guest today has been associated with Transformers comics for over 30 years. That's right, it's the British Bob Budiansky: Simon Furman! Simon was already working on a Transformers comics for Marvel UK, when Bob (the original writer and developer of the Transformers characters) chose him to take over the main US title. Simon expanded the Transformers mythos from there, developing an origin story that involved Primus and Unicron. He would continue to write Transformers on and off for every publisher that had the license, including Dreamwave and IDW. Did you know he also created and wrote the original Death's Head book for Marvel? Well, now you do. Some might say Simon is "more than meets the eye." __________________________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Hejsan TF-Fans, välkomna till ännu ett avsnitt av Transformerspodden! Denna gång på engelska då vi har en gäst! Vi har denna gång den stora äran att ha Simon Furman med oss under avsnittet. Simon behöver väl egenlitgen inte något introduktion för ett TF fan!? Han skrev de flesta av UK tidningarna under generation1 eran samt den sista tredjedelen av den amerikanska tidningen. Han har sedan dess fortsatt med otaliga titlar inom Transformers.

If you want to relive your childhood this is the place to be!! To say James enjoyed talking to him is an understatement!

Today we continue our coverage of the ANNIHILATION SAGA, a project we're going to be tackling for many episodes to come! This week, we take a bit of a breather from the main action to delve into three mini series that are tangentially related to, or touched by, the Annihilation wave. "Annihilation: Silver Surfer," "Annihilation: Super Skrull," and "Annihilation: Ronan" were all wildly different from each other, but don't just take this description's word for it, go on and listen! Trade readers can find these in "Annihilation Book Two" or split between "Annihilation: The Complete Collection" Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.Also, a correction. Simon Furman wrote the back half of the original US Transformers line, many early Transformers UK issues as well as the beginning of the IDW stuff, but NOT the original miniseries. That was Bill Mantlo (#1-2) and Jim Salicrup (#3-4) followed by Bob Budiansky when it became an ongoing (#5-55).Next time, we will close out the first part of the Annihilation Saga with the main "Annihilation" series #1-6, "Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus" #1-2 and "Nova" (2007) #1-3. Trade readers can find the first two in "Annihilation: Book Three" or "Annihilation: The Complete Collection," Vol. 2 as well as "Nova" (2007) Vol. 1: Annihilation. Do not read issues #4-7! Those will be coming up in a couple episodes.

On Episode 255 of the Twincast / Podcast, cast members talk about the latest news and developments in Transformers. First, the cast discusses the Hasbro Pulse exclusive War for Cybertron Trilogy: Quintesson Pit of Judgment 5-Pack, which includes the Quintesson Judge, Prosecutor, Bailiff, and Sharkticon, as well as Kranix. The group then has some fun guessing reveals in the upcoming Hasbro Pulse Fan Friday event, and discusses the leaked name and implications of the 3rd installment of the War For Cybertron trilogy: Kingdom. The crew checks out the recently revealed Transformers X Top Gun crossover figure, Maverick, and largely has good things to say, before pivoting to the future of the Studio Series line. They then take an opportunity to consider the soon-to-be revealed Masterpiece Starscream, the 3rd iteration of this character in the Masterpiece line, and what to do with all the previous versions of Seekers they've accumulated over the years. The group touches on Simon Furman's new comic, Transformers '84: Secrets and Lies #1 (following #0), concluding the fan service does a nice job pulling those nostalgia stings. Then, the show ends as it usually does, with a round of bragging rights where each member talks about their notable acquisitions since last episode.

In 2005, the Transformers comic license had found it's way to IDW Publishing and back into the hands of beloved Transformers scribe Simon Furman. Only, things didn't necessarily go according to plan in those initial issues as the man behind the keyboard spun a tale largely absent the well worn trappings of the franchise. To say the fan base was uneasy is to put it mildly so fresh off of the collapse of Dreamwave Productions. Thirteen years, more issues than any other Transformers universe, and the longest running singular continuity across the Transformers landscape later, and it's all coming to a close with the arrival of Unicron. Originally made famous by film legend Orson Welles in the 1986 animated movie,  this planet eating threat will put a bow on the most critically successful era of Transformers ever. To recap how we got here, we're joined by one of the hosts of the TransMissions Podcast, Charles Shelton and chart the entire IDW Transformers timeline from Infiltration to Unicron. We talk about how IDW has been forever transformed by the property, our predictions for how this is all going to unfold, and ask what's next for the nearly 35 year old franchise. http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/6675154 Issues: Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 1 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 2 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 3 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 4 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 5 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 6 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 7 Transformers: The IDW Collection Vol. 8 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 1 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 2 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 3 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 4 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 5 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 6 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 7 Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase 2 Vol. 8   Like what you hear?

This weekend, Shane Chebsey and his team have brought their not inconsiderable expertise of running the International Comic Expo shows for an inaugural event in the south-east coastal town of Margate in the UK. AEISD Leonard Sultana has been in attendance and has recorded the panels being held over the weekend - however, away from the panel room, Leonard managed to sneak some time in with prolific writer Si Spurrier who has found himself with plenty on his plate in recent years, with many projects occupying his time. Two of which - ANGELIC, with Caspar Wijngaard, Jim Campbell and Emma Price for Image Comics and MOTHERLANDS with Rachael Stott for DC/ Vertigo - were the main topic of conversation here. As the conversation went on, however, talk went on to another exciting, ambitious and, yes, intimidating project that Si has barreling out the pipe - Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN, for which he is writing one of the first books under that umbrella, THE DREAMING. That conversation was a whole meal in itself and so, include that here as a seperate presentation. Please do check out anenglishmaninsandiego.com for the rest of my chat with Si, as well as all of the other fascinating panels I recorded at ICE Margate, including Kieron Gillen, Simon Furman, Emma Vieceli and Dan Abnett. Thanks to Shane and his team for the putting on of the ICE Margate event, and to Si for allowing me to record and present this interview here.

We took a trip up north to Carlisle Comic Con recently. We feature interviews with some of the comic creators featured there. These include Emma Vieceli featuring on the show for her 2nd interview, Dave Cook of Card Shark Comics, James McCulloch from Comichaus, Lydon White, and Simon Furman. We review the comics Out in the Open by Javi Rey which is taken from the novel by Jesus Carrasco following a young boy who runs from an abused life into the void of the deserts and meets up with a goat herder who helps him survuve the harsh landscape and also The Either by Matt Garvey and Dizevez. We also give our thoughts on the anaimated movie In This Corner of the World which looks at the struggles of Japanese life through WW2. Mike talks about nerd culture and what he called Alternative 80's, looking at the stories that now look back and use 80's themes and refrences for their stories whilst Pete continues Kirbys life. This time he looks at the years between 1958 to 1961 from monster comics to the birth of the Fantastic Four. Enjoy.

Lord Retail is joined by a cavalclade of Acme alumni including John Bethel (ep #106 Good Ol' Children of the Atom, ep. #185 America Still Needs Your Help), Jay Howerton (ep. 120 People v. Acmecast), Ryan Rubio (Acmecast #166 Weapon X-Files, Acmecast #141 Gijoey), and newcomer Devin Turner to bask in the glory of the Marvel cinematic universe, past, present, and future! Show Notes: Editor's Note: I don't like to over-analyze the episodes that I didn't host myself, but if I could throw one thought out there, it would be that Jon Favreau doesn't get enough credit for establishing a visual style that is able to be both unique to each director and character (Star-Lord's dancing intro in Guardians, the period piece of Captain America: the First Avenger) and transcendant of all genres and actors.Jermaine touches on Warner Bros. not getting the interconnectivity of the movies, the DVD shorts, TV shows, etc., and I think that's 100% true, but they've also clung to the super-stylized take that Christopher Nolan brought to Batman, even when it's not appropriate for Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, etc., as emphasized by the leaked inter-office memo concerning Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.Even though they haven't gotten too far into the detailed reasoning behind Edgar Wright and the other cast members leaving Ant-Man, maybe Wright, whose body of work has always been 100% his, Simon Pegg's, Nick Frost's and Jessica Hines', couldn't play ball with the visual language to which Marvel movie-going audiences have become accustomed. Wright's other comic adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, a favorite of mine, made just $47 million worldwide, whereas the least successful Marvel cinematic movie, Hulk, still grossed $263 million. I also just want to clarify the creative credits for Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest: Drax the Destroyer came out in 2005 before Annihilation began and was written by Keith Giffen. During the Annihilation minis from 2005-2006, Giffen wrote Silver Surfer, Abnett & Lanning wrote Nova, Javier Grillo-Marxuach wrote Super-Skrull, and Simon Furman wrote Ronan. Giffen then wrote the unifying Annihilation mini series in 2006, which the Nova ongoing series by Abnett & Lanning spun out of in 2007 The Annihilation Conquest minis started in 2007, with Quasar written by Christos Gage, Star-Lord by Giffen (introducing the Guardians of the Galaxy as we know them today), and Wraith written by Grillo-Marxuach. Abnett & Lanning then stepped in for the climax mini series in late 2007/ early 2008, from which the Guardians of the Galaxy spun out.
