Episode 805: Alex de Campi on FULL TILT BOOGIE
March 04, 2024 04:49 - 1 hour - 93.1 MBHaving just talked about the early days of 2000AD, we thought it would be fun to chat with someone with a strip running in the Progs right now. Starting with Prog 2367 was Book Two of the strip “Full Tilt Boogie”, the continuing adventures of teen bounty hunter Tee, her grandmother, and their cat as they criss-cross the galaxy. Drawn by Eduardo Ocana, colored by Eva de la Cruz, lettered by Annie Parkhouse, and written by today’s guest. She is a multi-hyphenate creator whose CV would take t...

Episode 801: David A. Trampier's "Wormy"
February 05, 2024 15:00 - 14 minutes - 20.9 MBGreg kicks off The Someday Project looking at one of his early comics influences: a magazine-sized mind-bender (at least for someone of his age to read it) unlike anything else on the stands. HEAVY METAL? Nope. 2000 AD? Negative. Those are coming soon enough, but today Greg talks about the impact of David A. Trampier's "Wormy" from DRAGON magazine. Does it still hold up? How can you get a hold of it today? All that and more in today's episode! SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL The start of "WORMY" ...

Episode 800: Jose Villarrubia on Restoring SWAMP THING and THE CORBEN LIBRARY
November 23, 2023 13:30 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBToday's guest is someone listeners of this show will be familiar with, as he name is mentioned often and in tones of reverence. For almost 30 years he has worked with such artists as Jae Lee, Jeff Lemire, Bill Sienkiewicz, JH Williams III, and BERNIE WRIGHTSON to bring color into their art in a way that always enhances, never detracts - no mean feat there. He's also been a teacher/presenter/lecturer of art and illustration at such institutions as Towson University, Johns Hopkins University,...
Episode 799: Howard Chaykin on Mentoring and FARGO
November 09, 2023 13:30 - 40 minutes - 57.2 MBToday's guest needs no introduction, but we have episode post space to fill so we're doing one anyway. He's a creator whose balance of romanticism and pragmatism has kept him in the business and thrall of comics for almost 50 years. As an artist, a writer, and a cartoonist, he has almost certainly forgotten more about comics, history and storytelling than most of us will ever know. But thankfully, two of his latest projects are about giving that knowledge back to the comics community. The f...
Episode 798: Josh O'Neill and BEEHIVE BOOKS
October 12, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 114 MBThe last time today's guest was here for his own episode, it was July 2014, during the final days of the Kickstarter campaign for Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream, the Eisner-winning anthology title assembling a truly dream-worthy roster of creators to pay tribute to Windsor McCay's seminal comic strip. In the nearly ten years since then, he has gone on to found Beehive Books, where he and creative partner Maielle Doliveux continue to put out book after book, work after work that seem like a...
Episode 797: Tillie Walden on CLEMENTINE, BOOK TWO
September 28, 2023 12:59 - 1 hour - 104 MBThere are many days working in the show that Greg is grateful to be an observer of comix rather than a creator of them, because the level of craft and skill his hypothetical output would have to measure up against already gives him the willies. That being said, today’s guest has already put together such a formidable resume and body of work (all before the age of 30) it makes even this comix-adjacent host wonder what the hell he's been doing with his life. With nearly 10 published works t...
Episode 796: Tom Scioli on I AM STAN LEE and STAR WARRIORS
September 14, 2023 12:30 - 49 minutes - 69.8 MBToday's show brings another returning guest: a cartoonist so well-known for being in tune with the vibe of Jack Kirby in his own work that when he published his Kirby biography Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics in 2020, there's no doubt a large portion of the readership wondered what had taken him so long. The delay was most likely due to the fact he was busy making a name for himself with such projects in the comics mainstream and independent arenas as The Myth of 8-Opus, G0...
Episode 795: Dr. J. Andrew Deman on THE CLAREMONT RUN: SUBVERTING GENDER IN THE X-MEN
August 24, 2023 12:00 - 48 minutes - 68.4 MBProgram warning: today's episode dives directly into Chris Claremont's original 16-year run on UNCANNY X-MEN, which means Greg will be once again talking about his all-time favorite run of comics (although this time with an expert to help out). Longtime listeners playing a drinking game based on him name-dropping these comics on the show would be wise to give that game a pass today, or risk massive liver damage. You have been warned. In the epilogue to his Twitter account THE CLAREMONT RUN...
Episode 794: Nikesh Shukla on SPIDER-MAN: INDIA
July 27, 2023 12:30 - 59 minutes - 83.2 MBWhen someone is inducted into the Royal Society of Literature, they are invited to sign their names in a roll book dating back to the society's founding in 1820, using the pen of Lord Byron, T.S. Elliot, or George Elliot. Greg closes today's chat with writer Nikesh Shukla by asking what pen he chose, because not only is Nikesh writing the current Spider-Man: India miniseries (with issue #2 hitting shelves July 26th), but he was also inducted into the Society back in 2019, to join such fellow...
Episode 793: Milton Lawson on ORSON WELLES: WARRIOR OF THE WORLDS
July 13, 2023 12:00 - 51 minutes - 72.4 MBOrson Welles wore many hats in his day: filmmaker, actor, writer, producer, pitch man, raconteur . . . the list goes on and on. But what can only be told now is that you can add ‘defender of the Earth’ to that list as well. According to Milton Lawson’s Orson Welles: Warrior of the Worlds comics project, illustrated by Renton Hawley and finally debuting from Scout Comics on August 16th, the thespian led a secret life keeping this planet safe from invaders from not only Mars, but all aroun...
Episode 792: Mike Norton & Rafer Roberts on THE ROCK GODS OF JACKSON, TENNESSEE
June 08, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBToday's episode takes us back to a time when gods walked the earth. Oh sure, they may LOOK like four late 80's teenagers banging their way thru semi-coherent covers of rock songs, but they are, in fact, all that stands in the way of Jackson, TN suffering a biblical-level plague of . . . well . . . you'll find out in The Rock Gods of Jackson, Tennessee, the new OGN by Mike Norton & Rafer Roberts, now in comic shops from Dark Horse. Greg talks with the duo about how to spin autobio soul-sear...

He goes deep-dive into his experience at last weekend’s 2000AD 40th Anniversary Thrill Festival, both from behind the microphone and from wandering the convention floor. What kind of shindig does Tharg throw for his favorite Earthlets? How far does the American dollar go in picking up orig...
Episode 791: Owen Michael Johnson on THE BEST OF 2000AD
May 11, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 97.3 MBToday's episode returns the show to a topic apparently never too far from our thoughts: the galaxy's greatest comic 2000AD! After his recent chat with Mike Molcher where The Best of 2000AD was touched on, Mike suggested Greg reach out to today’s guest for a real deep dive into the subject. Some emails were sent, plans made, and here we are with Greg chatting with the Best Of maestro himself: Owen Michael Johnson. The pair talk about Johnson's decidedly non-2000AD comics upbringing, the per...
Episode 790: Mimi Alves & Ben Crane on COSMIC CADETS: CONTACT
April 27, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBToday's episode takes us out to the farthest reaches of outer space and the even further reaches of the human emotional spectrum with the debut collaboration from illustrator Mimi Alves and writer Ben Crane: Cosmic Cadets, Vol. 1: Contact! from Top Shelf!

Episode 789: Eric Trautmann on THE FORGED
March 09, 2023 01:50 - 1 hour - 124 MBToday's guest is writer, game designer, editor, and graphic designer Eric Trautmann. While his previous comics work has included such titles as DC's Checkmate with Greg Rucka, Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist with Alex Ross, Red Sonja, Vampirella, and the Vertigo OGN Shooters with co-writer Brandon Jerwa and artist Steve Lieber, he's on the show today to talk about his new Image Comics series The Forged. Drawn by Mike Henderson, colored by Nolan Woodard, lettered by Ariana Maher, and co-written by...
Episode 788: Michael Molcher on I AM THE LAW: HOW JUDGE DREDD PREDICTED OUR FUTURE
February 23, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 91.5 MBToday’s guest is not only a man of his times, but several others as well. When he’s not re-enacting 17th century English civil warfare, he’s spreading the gospel of 2000AD, the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, as the now-Brand Manager of Rebellion/2000AD. But it’s his role as author of the new book I AM THE LAW: How Judge Dredd Predicted Our Future that brings him back to the show today. The book melds comics history with political, social, and policing scholarship to us how a comic series started i...
Episode 787: Sierra Barnes on HANS VOGEL IS DEAD
January 26, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 114 MBSierra Barnes is a cartoonist whose work combines such varied influences as history, folk lore, mythology, fascism, anti-fascism, war, and foxes that might not actually be foxes.

Episode 785: The Tony McMillen Buzz
December 08, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBWhen thinking about today's guest, the word one would keep coming back to is "buzz", like the hum of a amplifier just turned on and waiting for its first power chord. His work refuses to stay in any one medium, be it prose, comics, podcasts, or music. His latest work is the second half of his comic Serious Creatures looking at the life of a teenage special effects wizard. He has all the right cultural touchstones in his work to stand out from the crowd to me, and his art is vibrant, kinetic,...
Episode 784: Chattin' CHARLTON COMPANION with Jon B. Cooke
November 24, 2022 13:00 - 59 minutes - 82.8 MBCharlton Comics may have been looked at as the fourth-place finisher in a three-person race for much of its publishing life, but the Derby, CT-based publisher gets the all-star treatment this month with Twomorrows Publishing's release of The Charlton Companion by longtime writer/editor/designer Jon B. Cooke. Greg got a chance to talk with Cooke about the book, some of the company's ups and downs, the vast amount of comics talent that showed up in Charlton's books (little-known folks like Ste...

A fantasy western with vengeance, blood, electric colors, surprise lettering, and a guy named Dirt, Above Snakes is their third collaboration, after The Few and Thumbs.

Robots is a show built on being a fan of something. While the fandom in question is usually comics, today's episode deviates from the norm a bit as Greg kicks off a 2-part chat with Jillian Maryonovich about fandom in general and their shared passion for the Canadian rock trio Rush. in particular. Jillian was not only in the front row for Rush's final show ever,...
Episode 779: 6 SIDEKICKS's Chris Schweizer & Kyle Starks
May 12, 2022 08:00 - 2 hours - 169 MBAnother great interview lined up for you folks today, because Greg got the opportunity to sit down with the 6 Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton team of writer Kyle Starks and artist Chris Schweizer.

Episode 774: TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE 35th Anniversary Discussion
November 11, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBToday's episode is beyond good, beyond evil, beyond your wildest imagination ... because it looks at the seminal 1980's animation classic Transformers: The Movie! Like Pennywise luring so many children to their unsuspecting doom, this beautiful & enticing film shattered the innocence of so many childhoods. But unlike that hellish clown, this film does have many virtues that Greg has brought Chad Bowers and Tom Scioli on board to celebrate for the film's 35th anniversary. Does the movie sti...

November 04, 2021 08:00 - 53 minutes - 74.5 MBAfter two years of quarantine, Greg finally attended a live show this past month: the Baltimore Comicon! And as luck would have it, Wordballoon's John Siuntres (aka podcasting's cool uncle) was there as well. What better way to celebrate the chance to get back to in-person interviewing and yakkin' about various things than with the man who helped so many of us do that very thing? While some of the conversation was lost due to technical snafu, what survived ran the gamut from podcasting in th...
[Rebroadcast] Episode 713: SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE and Adapting Novels into Comics
October 28, 2021 08:00 - 2 hours - 144 MBGraphic novels may be all the rage, but the art of turning prose into comix is one many publishers are finding just slightly easier than turning lead into gold. From the early days of Classics Illustrated right up until today, Mike & Greg take a look at five novel-to-comics adaptations to get a better understanding of what works and what doesn't when it comes to adding pictures to all those words: A People's History of American Empire by Howard Zinn (adapted by Mike Konopacki and Paul Buhl...

Matthew's kicking off a new four-issue series of his self-published series "Cankor," so we certainly wanted to have the man himself swing by to talk about it. There are some new elements to the new issue that really caught Mike's attention: one anyone can see, and another that you'll need to get a little navel-gazey for. There's plenty of "Cankor" discussion as well as ...
[Rebroadcast] Episode 334: Supergirl Spotlight with Paul Lai
October 14, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBThis episode was originally broadcast on September 28, 2016. With Multiversity Comics heading into the home stretch of its 40 Days of Supergirl celebration, Greg decided it would be neat to have a little Supergirl discussion in conjunction with that. But with Mike unavailable, Greg turned to friend of the show Paul Lai (from the excellent podcast The Paul List) to come on and give the episode his specific brand of considered and researched opinion.

September 23, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 87.2 MBThis episode was originally broadcast on January 15, 2015. People often say there is a single line between fantasy and reality. But in Farel Dalrymple's "The Wrenchies", there are just as many lines between different realities as there are on the pages themselves. Described by Multiversity Comics' own Matthew Meylikhov as a book "about how damn great and powerful comic books are", Dalrymple's graphic novel is one part post-apocalyptic children's adventure, one part existential adult a...
