Episode 341 – Hella Arbitrary f/ Daniel Kibblesmith

Daniel Kibblesmith is a good friend of the show and writer of the upcoming Valiant High digital-first series from Valiant and ComiXology, so we’re more than happy to have him back this week! We talk with him about high-school AUs in general, making the Valiant characters fit in a high-school setting, whether there’s a world outside the school, and, of course, the Garfield convention we’re all planning to attend later this year. Plus, we answer an oddly relevant listener question!

Episode 336 – How KRS-One is Like Wonder Woman f/ Afua Richardson

Afua Richardson joins us for this week’s show, and while you may know her as the cover artist of Black Panther: World of Wakanda and artist of Genius from Image Comics among other comics projects, she’s also worn many, many other hats including singer, voice actress, beatboxer, floutist, and the list goes on. Also, she’s on a first-name basis with KRS-One, which obviously makes her one of our favorite guests. In addition to all that, we also talk about taking breaks from work, adding symbolism to art, her X-Men ’92 variant cover, and much more! Plus, we take a listener question that relates to Every Story Ever!
