This week Gary and Justus had the opportunity to interview Wes Locher. Wes is a comic book and video game script writer.

In this episode I sit down with the leader of Free City of Trinsic Skye Wolfbane. She is the leader of a huge guild on UOF and this a unique take on how her past experiences have shaped her current role. From a PvM standpoint this was a very interesting chat as we actually agreed on way more than originally thought with PVP. Skye has also been a huge supporter of the Braving Britannia and has helped provide insight and content to Wes Locher. It was truly and honor to sit down and just talk some UO and really understand a question I often have asked myself, "Would I ever want to lead a large guild?". By the end of this episode you should draw your own conclusions and find out!

Traveling is tricky right now and, for most, the boundaries of our worlds have shrunk dramatically. So a lot of people are spending a lot more time in virtual places, like Sea of Thieves, Fortnite, Ultima Online and more. Explore how these online worlds help us push past real-world boundaries and have vastly new experiences, even become new versions of ourselves—all without leaving the comfort of home. Check out guest Wes Locher’s book, Braving Britannia: Tales of Melancholy, Malice, and Peril in Ultima Online. You can learn more about Russell Quinn’s computer game, Linda & Joan, at lindajoan.com. Huge thanks to Lee Yancy, whose conversations were invaluable for contextualizing the world of video games, and to Raph Koster for his insight into the virtual world.

I take a seat with a best selling author Wed Locher. Wes brings his creative side like no other and explains how he got into Ultima Online. Writing a book is an under taking like no other and this unique take was equally fun to create and listen to. With the release of his second book I can tell Wes has as much passion as any of us. I am still amazed someone has created a book for Ultima Online and recorded something. This is something so unique and I am glad people are now starting to listen, create and fully understand how big of a game this was and is today!

On this episode, Wes Locher returns as a guest to discuss his upcoming comic with Loch Ness, Bug Slugger, their loving send up to the shows of the 90s like Power Rangers, Street Sharks, and so much more. Mike and Jon pick their brains of how this project came together, where Loch Ness' artistic inspiration came from, to what its like to relase a comic during a pandemic/quarantine. 

Wes Locher recently published the book Braving Britannia, about the seminal MMO Ultima Online, which he played obsessively for five years. Unlike most videogame books, which focus on game design or gameplay strategies, Braving Britannia is an oral history, collecting fond reminiscences from dozens of players.

Comic book artist, video game writer, and author Wes Locher recently published a new book: Braving Britannia: Tales of Life, Love, and Adventure in Ultima Online. It's a collection of stories about (what else?) the experience of different Ultima Online players and developers throughout the various eras of the game, and was something of a passion project for Wes. We invited Wes onto the podcast to chat about Braving Britannia, its relatively short writing process, how he went about collecting stories, and more.

As the three discuss the actual comic itself, Wes gives Mike and Jon a behind the scenes look at what the inspiration was behind the creation of Unit 44, further looks into what it took to get Unit 44 out into the world and what the future holds for Hatch, Gibson, and Wes himself.

Happy Holidays and welcome to another Christmas themed episode of Canned Air! We are joined by comic creator Wes Locher to first help us list off some of our most memorable Christmas gifts in this week’s Retro Roundtable. We didn’t always get what we wanted growing up, but sometimes it was the gifts we didn’t expect that leave the biggest mark on our memories. Let us know on Twitter what your most memorable gift was!   Then we turn our attention to Wes and talk about his comic Unit 44! Agents Gibson and Hatch forget to pay the rent on the facility's off-site storage unit, and the secret contents are sold to a couple of backwoods rednecks at a public auction. Now an alien invasion threatens planet Earth, and the agents will have to recover an item from the locker if they have any hope of stopping the extraterrestrial threat.

Episode 30: Graphic Novel Writer Wes Locher Talks "Unit 44" - Wes Locher's newly released sci-fi/comedy graphic novel is packed with laughs, with great visuals from illustrator Eduardo Jimenez. UNIT 44 - This sci-fi/comedy romp tells the story of inept Area 51 employees who forget to pay the rent on the facility's off-site storage unit, leaving the secret contents to be sold at public auction. When an alien invasion threatens Earth, it's up to agents Hatch and Gibson to recover an item from the locker if they hope to stop the extraterrestrial threat. Alterna Comic's newest graphic novel is hilarious; laughs on every page, if not every panel (awesome sight gags from Ed Jimenez).  We highly recommend it. Writer and Unit 44 creator Wes Locher was a great guy to interview. He tells us how he got involved writing comic books and writing video games. He's got other projects in the works that sound awesome as well. He survived the eclipse, and if you did also, you should buy his graphic novel.  You can get it on Amazon, Target, and if you go to your local comic store, your buddy behind the counter can still order it to get it into your hands.  After you listen to this interview, you should probably just go to your comic shop.  Oh, first give us a good review on iTunes (Apple Podcasts).  Every 5-star review helps our show get noticed by more potential listeners.  HELP US HELP YOU!  Follow Wes Locher on twitter: @weslocher Follow illustrator, Eduardo Jimenez on twitter: @edjimenezart Follow Alterna Comics on twitter: @alternacomics In this episode you will also get MissGeek89's review of "Unit 44"!  Go find MissGeek89 on Instagram!  She's got a great IG account.

Thanks Wes for coming on our show!  Chuck and I truly are working to improve upon the "Skype standard", so next time we talk I won't sound like a cylon.  Ha!

This week for a brand new Booked Stevil goes solo as he chats with Wes Locher, the creator and writer of Unit 44, a new comic about a couple of bumbling Area 51 agents who forget to pay the rent on a storage space filled with secret contents and is subsequently sold to some rednecks at a public auction. Stevil and Wes chat about the inception of the idea, stemmed from Wes's own fascination with aliens possible existence, the instant gratification of collaborating with artist Ed Jimenez and the style choice of comedy over the usual dark and gritty. Wes also fills Stevil in on the great freedom creating your own independent comic in the new digital landscape. Unit 44 is available now on Comixology and can also be found on Wes and Ed's website.

I'm so glad that guests enjoy the show so much that they want to come back on. WES LOCHER has been before to talk about his books CHAMBERS and UNIT 44. Now we get into one of his older stories that was three years in the making -- see, you don't need to put out a book a month to consider yourself "in comics." THE UNDOUBTABLES is fun, fast-paced heist story about a playing card theme gang lead by Spencer "Spade."

Today's podcast guest WES LOCHER is a perfect example of how writers can have broad range. The first book we discuss is CHAMBERS, an action-packed crime drama followed by talk on UNIT 44, his Kickstarter sci-fi comedy, and finally INNOVATION which is his serious sci-fi webcomic.
