Ramon Villalobos, Gordie award winner and artist of Secret Wars: E is for Extinction, joins us this week! We talk with him about the importance of footwear, getting inspiration from DJ Khaled, his parents’ dogs, self-reinvention, Frank Quitely, the Royal Rumble and so much more! Plus, we take a handful of listener questions!
Our old friend Kyle Starks, writer and artist of Image Comics’ Sexcastle, has returned to War Rocket Ajax on the heels of the big news that Fox has acquired the rights to the book for a possible film! We talk about fancasting, writing amazing dialogue, getting a book optioned, the Kyle Starks Shared Universe, basketball, ’80s action stars and so much more! Plus, Chris and Matt kick off a brand new post-interview segment!
It’s the first War Rocket Ajax of the year! That means it’s time for Chris and Matt to hand out a whole bunch of awards in categories selected by you, the listeners!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, which means our perennial Christmas guest Matt Fraction is stopping by! This year, we’re taking your yuletide questions and acceding to a very aggressive listener demand! (Yes, it involves Psychopathic Records.)
We’re welcoming Sam Humphries, the writer of the new Image Comics series Citizen Jack, back to the show this week! We talk about the book’s political origins, trying to maintain some distance from real-life politics, Sam’s hair, Prince, fictional devils, how difficult it is to satire politics in 2015, and much more! Plus, the last batch of Word Heavyweight Champion contenders!
Artist and pal Tom Fowler returns this week to talk about his new book of tabletop fantasy art, D&D&D! But before we do that, we’ve got to talk for a long time about Canadian TV. You know how that is. Plus, we take a listener question that turns out to be a bit of a riddle.
We’re digging in and getting to 100 entries in our Word Heavyweight Champions list this week, come hell or high water! (We get there in about an hour.)
The Rundown:
I promise I’ll update the WHC list this week! Really!
