First prog of the new year!! Zaucer of Zilk melted our minds...
He's the mad genius behind Zombo, Damnation Station, and the Zaucer of Zilk - and now he's in the pub, talking to the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast! Bringing a unique new voice to 2000 AD, his vivid imagination and dark humour-tinged stories quickly established him as one of 2000 AD's most popular writers and a regular on Judge Dredd, where he worked with Si Spurrier and Rob Williams on the hugely successful Judge Dredd crossover epic, Trifecta. With his on-going success with Marvel Comics, Ewing sits down with Molch-R to discuss his beginnings as a writer, his preferred version of 'The Marvel Method', his thoughts on continuity, and whether he's coming back to the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast is the award-winning podcast that takes you behind-the-scenes at the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic! As well as interviewing top creators and famous fans, we bring you announcements, competitions, and much more!

After our first-ever scheduled skip week, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester are back with Episode 95, two hours and two barrels of auditory comic book double-talk. Once again, extensive show notes are up at savagecritic.com and we advise you use them as a roadmap to our amorphous conversational landscape...especially if you like to know how far in you need to jump to miss the non-funnybook talk. But we can tell you that we do discuss Zaucer of Zilk by Al Ewing and Brendan McCarthy, Axe Cop: President of the World #1, Prophet #27, Captain Marvel #1, National Comics: Eternity; Flash #11 and Detective Comics #11, Extreme X-Men #1, as well as updates on reading Mad Magazine, Shonen Jump Alpha and The End of the Fucking World digitally, a long spoiler-filled discussion of The Dark Knight Rises and all the Batman movies, self-consciousness versus self-awareness, and much, much more. Please keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all time, and in case of accidental oral ingestion, please induce vomiting until all foreign substances are expelled. As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!
This is Episode 91, the first episode in seven months to live or die on its own, without any help from listeners' questions. Do Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester have the ability to carry on a conversation without twitter or the web page whispering like Cyrano from the bushes! The answer is a resounding 'kinda,' as we cover the weather in Portland; plans for our first "live" podcast; a long discussion about Casanova 3.4; Zaucer of Zilk by Brendan McCarthy and Al Ewing; Matt Howarth, Lou Stathis, and Those Annoying Post Bros.; why the song remains the same; copied characters, satire, and analogues; the point of a first issue in modern comics; Spider-Men #1; that old Parker luck and the Spider-Man movie franchise; the evolution of Marvel's edgier heroes; Saga #4, Avengers Vs. X-Men, and more! (You know, maybe not that much more, to be honest, but definitely more!) We thank you for listening and, as always, we hope you enjoy!
