Fist of the North Star 10 Big Brawls for the King of the Universe with Andrew Mecha Davis (Popanimecomics)

These days when a series is based all around fighting and punching people in the face it’s a surprise when there isn’t a fighting game to go along with it. But did you know that there was a time when Street Fighter II hadn’t come out yet? And that people were making fighting games before…

Scout’s Honor with David Pepose

It’s a thing we’ve all seen before. Post apocalyptic worlds and the groups who rise to power in which to rule them.

M.O.D.O.K Head Games with Jordan Blum

Comics have  such a long history that there’s no way anybody can know everything about every character. M.O.D.O.K. is that way for me. I have an idea of who this giant killing organism is but only because he’s happened to be in other things. Good thing I have Jordan Blum, one of the writers on…

Octobug with Eric Bailey (Tiny Bookshelf)

I look at comics all the time here in this Creator Talk set of bonus episodes. And I’ve looked at a card game that you play in the real world with actual, physical cards like some kind of caveperson. But somehow I’ve never looked at an actual video game. Until now that is. Time to…

Zen Intergalactic Ninja with Steve Honeycutt (Ray Can’t Sleep

Ninjas are cool. Aliens are cool. So why not make a ninja that’s also an alien? And also has a team of rag tag environment saving sidekicks to help him out? Saving the environment via something aimed at kids and hoping they’ll pressure their adult overlords into following suit is still cool right? Enter Steve…

Long Ago & Far Away with Chris Mancini

There are tons of stories about little kids who get to go to other worlds and have grand adventures. Like literally tons, and I’m cool with that. But what I really want to know is how they handled things afterwards. Outside of Peter Pan related things (and Narnia but I think that’s a bit of…
