Last time Gerry Duggan was on the show, we were talking about his photography project Timing/Luck and ironically what made me a fan of his work isn't The X-Men or any other of the of great titles and characters he's penned and developed over the years, what made me fall in love with it was a breakdancing skeleton named Walt. You might be asking yourself why that may be. A few years ago I lost one of my best friends to a motorcycle ...

I've got a family history with moonshine. It started when I was a little kid riding around on my grandfather's tractor. He always had a half gallon Mayfield milk jug full of something or other he'd periodically take a swig from and, yes, more often than not the later on in the day it got, the more likely we were to end up in a ditch but that was all part of the fun of our time together. Later I learned he was a part of the illicit ...

Sometimes you just need a good diversion to distract you from the dumpster fire that is modern life and few things can immediately take you on the emotional rollercoaster like a good satirical dystopian narrative so I've got first time guest Alice Darrow on with me today to help me break down what is the surprise comic book of 2025 for me, Tramps of the Apocalypse. Sitting somewhere between Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Idiocra...

I’ve been talking and thinking recently about the intersection of comedy and comics. It’s sort of right there in the name but it’s rare to see a comedy forward book released right now which strikes me as particularly odd given the challenging times in which we are living mid 2025 when we could all use a good laugh. My guest today, Anthony Iannaccio, is no stranger to comedy as one of the hosts of the popular podcast Comics and Chro...

The intersection of the genres of horror and humor is a fascinating one. It’s something I’ve brought up several times on the podcast since my first chat with comics writer Kyle Starks. They share the same cadence and rhythms, and it should be no surprise that the recipe comes out as delicious as peanut butter and chocolate, so I was delighted to see Steve Urena’s email hit my InBox as someone who’s work blending the two I’ve come t...

It’s becoming increasingly clear from my recent chats on the podcast and all the ones that happen in emails or DMs that a substantial part of the glass ceiling for women working in the comics medium centers around the editorial level, but is that accurate and what exactly might specific barriers be? Now I don’t know about you, but to me, you ask an expert. So, I reached out to Rachel Pinnelas. Rachel, has been an Assistant Editor a...

We live in the era of AI. The technologies many of us saw for the first time in sci-fi movies are now the technological experiments that will define humanity for generations to come. In some ways, that’s an exciting concept. How does nature versus nurture apply to machine learning and what exactly are the boundaries we will set to protect us? Human beings are historically bad at implementing guard rails with our new toys. What happ...

As I was setting up the round of interviews that would be our first Women In Comics Feature to celebrate Women’s History Month on the podcast, I wanted to get a variety of voices included to represent different facets of the medium. That lead me to reaching out to Barbra Dillon, Editor-In-Chief of Fanbase Press, a GLAAD Winning and Eisner and Harvey Nominated publisher and geek culture website. Who better than Barbra to cover the a...

It's more Marvel March Madness with returning guest David Pepose! Jimmy and David discuss Space Ghost (published by Dynamite) and Cable: Love and Chrome. First, if you're not reading Space Ghost, you should be, because it's phenomenal. Second, David talks about the direction he wanted to take Cable into and what he wanted to see from a character that already has so much history, some of it fairly complicated. Jimmy found the new se...

This episode is a real treat because I get to talk about one of my favorite ongoing series at a time where the ongoing series is becoming increasingly rare. I had legendary comic book artist Terry Dodson on awhile back with Pornsak Pichetshote talking about their Horizon Experiment project The Manchurian and Terry mentioned there was a new Adventureman arc coming out in early 2025. I jumped at the chance to lock him in again for a ...

The last time Ringo Nominated comics writer Erica Schutlz was on the show with me was to talk about her Marvel Comics project Hallow's Eve.

Her recent Laura Kinney Wolverine book is one of my top favorites of the From The Ashes X-Office storylines an...
