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 Fantastic Forum, we are blasting off into the heavens and diving back into Hell's Kitchen with two major releases. First up is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie! With Chris Pratt returning as Mario alongside Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Jack Black as Bowser, this interstellar adventure takes the Mushroom Kingdom to the stars. With galaxies to explore and new allies and threats along the way, we are breaking down whether this sequel captures the magic, scale, and fun fans are hoping for. Then we turn to Daredevil #1, written by Stephanie Phillips with art by Lee Garbett, colors by Frank D'Armata and Frank Martin, and letters by VC's Ariana Maher. This new era finds Matt Murdock stepping into an unexpected role while a mysterious new villain targets him from the shadows. With a fresh status quo and a deeper dive into Daredevil's noir roots does Phillips and Garbett set the stage for a bold and unpredictable chapter in Hell's Kitchen?

This week's spotlight interview is with Timmy Heague, co-writer of Lost Fantasy #9, and is especially revealing, not just because of the wild hooks (Nazi dinosaurs, bazooka swords, monster hunting), but because of the unique vantage point he brings as both a writer and a longtime comic shop owner. That dual perspective shapes everything, from how he thinks about audience expectations to how stories are built to connect on the shelf. This interview goes far beyond Lost Fantasy #9. Timmy Heague digs into his unlikely path from comic shop owner to working writer, how collaborations with Curt Pires and Franklin Jonas actually function behind the scenes, and why being on the retail front lines gives him a sharper read on what fans want than most creators. You'll also hear about the realities of breaking in, the push and pull of co-writing, and the mentors who helped shape his voice. It's part origin story, part industry insight, and a candid look at how comics really come together.

Dave: Black Cat #9 (Variant by Kris Anka) Chris: Iron Man #4 (Ryan Stegman-Frank Martin Main Cover) Interview: Timmy Heague on Lost Fantasy #9, mixing craft, collaboration, and story teases: You're stepping into Lost Fantasy #9 during a moment where Henry is already physically and emotionally battered. What interested you most about picking up his story at this breaking point? You're working with Eamon Winkle on the Bombshell story. What makes Bombshell a compelling lens into this world, and how does her story complement or contrast Henry's? You're co-writing this issue with Curt Pires and Franklin Jonas, while also contributing to a backup that ties into Fireborn. How did you all divide the storytelling responsibilities, and what did that collaboration look like on the page? You've recently come off co-writing Archie vs. Minor Threats with Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, which thrives on tonal contrast. Did that experience influence how you approach tone here, especially with the mix of action, sci-fi, and character work? The solicit teases Henry being pulled into a new case while still recovering. How do you balance forward momentum with giving weight to his injuries and trauma? The issue introduces the “Cyber-Ronin,” which is an instantly striking concept. What was the creative spark behind that character, and how does he challenge the world of hunters in a new way? Lost Fantasy blends genres in a big way, from cyberpunk elements to mythic hunting lore. When you're writing in that kind of sandbox, how do you keep the story grounded and emotionally clear? Fun one: if you had to drop Bombshell into another comic universe for a one-shot, where would you send them and why?

On this episode Matt and Jon discuss The Pitt, the penultimate Shrinking, the literally gut wrenching Invincible and the Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins while Jon saw Daredevil: Born Again, DTF St. Louis and They Will Kill You as well as read the beginning of Stephanie Phillips' Daredevil run while Matt began the new season of For All Mankind, finished Paradise, and continues Bergman with The Magician, The Virgin Spring and The Devil's Eye.

Who was responsible for the last great Spider-Man run?  Batman?  Green Arrow? Hulk? We give you our take on those and a bunch more. Plus, Vince and DAP speak on DC / Marvel: Superman / Spider-Man (better late than never) and Daredevil by Stephanie Phillips, Lee Garbett, and Frank Martin. We also toss in The Sentry; Ariela Kristantina's The Girl Who Draws on Whales; Is Ted OK? by Dave Chisholm; and more!

This week we play a game of "Metal band or comic character?" before talking about first issues with old pal The Budget King! We'll cover Stephanie Phillips new Daredevil run, Captain Marvel Dark Past, Royals by Derek Kirk Kim (who you may remember from The Last Mermaid), the MAD Magazine DC special, and we'll round out the convo with Alien King Killer out on Marvel. I'll also mention we had a great time at Planet Comicon this past weekend, and enjoyed meeting tons of fellow comic fans at the Boulevard Brewing Company Space Camber tasting booth! We'll talk a bit more about our experiences on Monday's patreon episode.

Daredevil is getting a fresh start with a brand new #1 from Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett — but after the last run left a lot of fans frustrated, the real question is whether this reset actually fixes what wasn't working. In this review, Jace takes a look at Daredevil #1 and breaks down what works, what doesn't, and whether this new direction brings Matt Murdock back to the street-level hero fans have been missing. From stronger pacing and action to a compelling new villain in Omen, this issue feels like a true return to form — but is it enough to win fans back long-term? Let us know your thoughts in the comments — did you stick with the last run, or are you jumping back in with this new #1?

On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by Matthew Rosenberg to talk about one of the most ambitious creator-owned books on the horizon: If Destruction Be Our Lot. For a story about the end of humanity, this one is surprisingly full of life. We dig into how the series came together, from its strange and instantly compelling premise of a robotic Abraham Lincoln wandering a post-human world, to the deeper themes driving it. Rosenberg opens up about how the book grew out of his own creative evolution, how it responds to the current moment for artists, and why this isn't a bleak dystopia so much as a story about connection, purpose, and trying to find meaning when the system no longer makes sense. We also get into the craft behind it all, including the long development process, the collaboration with his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg, and why artist Andy Macdonald might be doing some of the most exciting work in comics right now. Of course, we also talk Spawn and what it means to step into that world, but the heart of this conversation is If Destruction Be Our Lot and why it might be Rosenberg's most personal and layered work yet.

You've tackled everything from crime to dark comedy. Where does this series sit creatively for you, and does it feel like a departure or a natural evolution? On Spawn You're stepping into Spawn with a major time jump and a new status quo. What excited you most about taking on such an iconic title at this moment? Favorite Spawn character?

Today, we're heading off-world — straight into the events of Marvel's massive Imperial Cosmic Epic, as the Green Goliath of Law gets a brand-new chapter in Planet She-Hulk. Writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Aaron Kuder join me to break down how Jennifer Walters finds herself at the heart of an intergalactic power struggle — torn between the laws of a reformed empire and the raw fury that made her a legend. We'll talk about the tone of this new book — part political sci-fi, part space opera — how it connects to Hickman's larger cosmic tapestry, and what fans can expect from Kuder's out-of-this-world visual design and Phillips' signature balance of empathy and grit. Whether you've followed She-Hulk since the Byrne and Slott days, or you're jumping on now, this is the perfect gateway into Marvel's next great cosmic saga.

San Antonio stands out as the largest city in North America to adopt a deconstruction ordinance, shifting how older buildings are taken down and how building materials are valued, reused, and kept within the community.Cory Ames sits down with Stephanie Phillips, Senior Deconstruction & Circular Economy Program Manager at the City of San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation, to discuss the origins and aims of this policy, the environmental and community impact of slowing demolition, and the pathways to a more circular local economy. Their conversation offers insight into how these programs seek not only to reduce landfill waste but also to preserve the city's heritage and build social cohesion.In this episode, they cover:• The history and impact of San Antonio's deconstruction ordinance• How embodied carbon and building material reuse are becoming central to city planning• Workforce development and the challenges of scaling deconstruction in a fast-growing city• The potential for both commercial and residential expansion of circularity efforts• How local organizations and residents can get involved in supporting reuse and sustainable building practices• What makes San Antonio uniquely positioned to lead on these issuesStephanie also shares observations on the city's “big city, small town” identity, the importance of community engagement in policy, and what a circular future may look like for San Antonio.RECOMMENDED NEXT LISTEN:▶️ #135. Planting Change in San Antonio through Community Gardens – How can green spaces transform a city's health, safety, and future? Host Cory Ames sits down with Gardopia Gardens founder Stephen Lucke to explore the role of urban agriculture in boosting wellbeing, fostering land justice, and inspiring new generations of community leaders in San Antonio.-- -- CONNECT

Sorry about the delay, but finally, here's the third part of my conversation with Stephanie Phillips. It's a fantastic wrap-up and contains plenty of new info on managing a writing career in comic books. One thing I took away from it was that you need to be prepared to do the work and don't fear that part either. Everyone who is succeeding as a writer finds a way to write their way across the finish line. Without that, you will not have a career. Remember, every completed piece of work starts a conversation that could open another door.

As Phoenix, Jean Grey has faced endless cosmic mysteries, but nothing like this. Her sister, Sara, murdered by the Phalanx years ago, has inexplicably returned. How? When? Why? Jean should be asking… but if she did, this would be a very different story. Stephanie Phillips brings back Sara Grey this June!

Was it your own writers block?Can you describe the creative journey behind developing Seth Holms as a character struggling to write a happy ending?The comic is described as a "love letter to the Italian slasher genre"—how have films like those of Dario Argento influenced your storytelling and visuals?13How do you balance the elements of horror, gore, and B-horror camp with a critique of our cultural obsession with true crime?I really liked how, in a scene set in the narrative, you call back to the fact we're in the story within the story via lettering, was that in the script or Hassan's idea?With He Came in with a Smile as a backdrop, how does Seth's past impact the unfolding narrative in this new miniseries?What are some of the challenges you faced while infusing both literary and cinematic influences into a cohesive comic book experience?In what ways do you hope readers engage with the commentary on true crime fandom as they dive into this dark, twisted world?If you discovered that your own stories were coming to life, which character from 'You'll Do Bad Things' would you least want to encounter in a dark alley, and how would you try to escape their clutches?

Published by Boom Studios, Grim is a original series created by writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Flaviano with colorist Rico Renzi, imagining the world of the afterlife run by various "Grim Reapers" of all backgrounds featuring the main character Jessica Harrow. She is a young Grim Reaper who is edgy yet caring character that is here to escort the dead to the afterlife. That is until her scythe gets stolen and the people living can see her. However, as we learn quickly this is just the tip of the iceberg. The mystery of Jessica Harrow's origins, how did she die, and how does her lineage end up putting the fate of the world in her hands, is what drives book forward. The pacing on this book is phenomenal, character development of Jessica is earned, the various Grim Reapers in their society are all unique, well developed story and the cliff hangers at the end of each issue made the series amazing. We recommend anyone who likes supernatural, action, drama with themes of horror vibes check out Grim. We read the first Deluxe Edition collecting the first 15 issues of the series, but the book is still ongoing with issues 16- 20 in volume 4 just released.

Is there a science to balancing a compassionate message with that same hyper-violence?
