  • Dakota Brown Interview - Death Comes For The Toymaker

    Dakota Brown Interview - Death Comes For The Toymaker
    Oct 18 2024
    Since I started this comics journalism journey, I've been lucky enough to meet some truly amazing people. One of those is comics writer and fellow native East Tennessean Dakota Brown. Dakota was a guest at the beginning, before the podcast, when I started doing interviews on Twitter Spaces. We were talking about his upcoming project Death Comes For The Toymaker from Scout Comics back in 2021 which was set to be released as individual issues. As it sometimes goes, in the end he had to find a different publisher and happily it has found a new home in trade paperback format with Magma Comix. When he reached out to chat about it again, I jumped at the chance to have him back on to hear all about the labor of love it's taken to get this thing out into the world for people to read. It's a great book. I have a rare signed copy of the first issue with the Scout label hanging on my wall and the trade would make a great holiday gift for the comics lover in your life. From the publisher Death comes for us all. But for Gil the Toymaker, the visit is an eternal tragedy! Every year the holiday gift giver visits children all over the world on a special night, but Gil’s immortality comes at a cost. Forced to do the work of Death, carrying a list of ready-to-harvest souls alongside his naughty and nice lists, Gil gives toys AND takes souls all in one night! But as the Toymaker reflects on the relationship he’s had with Death for several millennia, an associate reveals a scheme that may just put an end to Death’s contract (and, perhaps, Death himself!) An epic twist on the legend of Santa Claus from writer Dakota Brown (Grandma Tilly’s Hell-Tech Mech) and artist Ryan Cody (Family Tree)! NEW PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

  • Horror Movie Recommendation Special with Kyle Starks, John Harris Dunning, and David Ian McKendry

    Horror Movie Recommendation Special with Kyle Starks, John Harris Dunning, and David Ian McKendry
    Oct 17 2024
    We were trying to figure out what to do to celebrate Halloween on the podcast and fortuitously Dark Horse marketing reached out and asked if we had anything planned. I cooked up the idea to have an episode featuring horror movie recommendations from some of the best comics writers in the business chatting about the movies that have inspired and scared them the most, plus to promote their new books of course. Both Kyle Starks (Peacemaker Tries Hard, Sex Castle, Where Monsters Lie) and John Harris Dunning (Wiper, Summer Shadows, Ripperland) have been on the show previously but we brought in a sacrificial... I mean newbie, award winning horror writer and filmmaker David Ian McKendry (Barstow, Found, All The Creatures Were Stirring) into the fray. I don't think I've ever had this much fun hosting an episode which was honestly more like herding cats, but it was an absolute blast and a privilege to get a glimpse into how the genre has influenced them and their work. Make sure to check out their projects: Kyle's Those Not Afraid A new crime series from three-time Eisner nominee Kyle Starks for fans of true crime and murder fiction. Two serial killers discover they are within reach of the state record for kills and enter a terrible competition to see who gets there first. Featuring amazing and stylish noir art from Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business) and incredible covers from the legendary Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Hellblazer). John Harris Dunning's Ripperland The year is 2188 and Jack the Ripper has returned to London. For the last century, a shattered post-Brexit England has operated as a massive Victorian theme park in exchange for American military and financial protection. But when an American mogul’s grandson is killed in the heart of London, the delicate status quo is threatened. Is the killer a brilliant maniac? Americans taking advantage of their superior technology? Or the English Underground Resistance, wishing to throw off the yoke of American oppression and re-join the modern world? American Special Agent Jesse Holden and local British Police Detective Edwin Fogg must overcome their clashing ideologies in order to find the truth in the foggy streets of 22nd Century London. David Ian McKendry's Barstow At the center of the Mojave Desert, at the crossroads between hell and gone, lies Barstow. Agent Miranda Diaz is in this godforsaken land on the trail of a missing agent. He’s a man she’s never met, and yet her name was the only clue he left behind. Something dark . . . something demonic . . . lurks beneath this oddball town, but can Miranda unravel the mystery before all hell breaks loose? • Award-winning horror writing and filmmaking team David Ian McKendry and Rebekah McKendry team-up with Eisner-nominated artist Tyler Jenkins for this all-new comedy-horror series!

  • Bryan Reheil Interview - Milk Run

    Bryan Reheil Interview - Milk Run
    Oct 15 2024
    Bryan and I have been Comics Twitter friends for some time now, so it was incredibly exciting to have him on the podcast to discuss his first series Milk Run being published through Scout Comics. Oh, and it's set in Philadelphia AND it's described as a comic fans of Back to the Future and Minority Report will love. Bryan & I discussed his influences for this series, what it was like writing and pitching his first series, working with artist Jarret Katz, colorist Robert Nugent, letterer Rob Jones, and editor James B. Emmett. I love being able to interview some of my favorite creators, but it's also great being able to introduce listeners to new creators, who just may become your next favorite writer or artist. I had a great time chatting with Bryan and I'm excited to check out more of Milk Run. Issue #1 was great and you can read it when it comes out on November 27th. Make sure you add it to your pull list before FOC on October 21st. Here is how the publisher describes Milk Run: Zack Morgan has a simple life: he works from home, has a nice apartment, loves living in Philadelphia, and can also create a magical portal that lets him travel through time up to ten years into the past. What seemed like a blessing quickly turned into just another part of his mundane life, becoming a way for Zack to save money on groceries by jumping to the past to pick up his milk, eggs, and other necessities. That all changes when a true crime podcast shines a light on a mystery he's wondered about for a long time: an unsolved murder he knows his powers can help solve if he just stopped thinking about himself for once.
