(Matt’s power was out for 62 hours. That’s why this was late.)
This week, we’re beyond pleased to welcome Michael Witwer, one of the authors of the new Dungeons and Dragons: Art and Arcana! We talk about where he found all that good good art, choosing which art to use, the utility of the gelatinous cube, why certain characters dress the way they do, why bards are the best and more! Plus, a listener question about leadership!
This week, we’re happy to welcome back friend of the show Jon Morris to talk about his new book, The League of Regrettable Sidekicks! We talk once again about what constitutes a character being “regrettable,” the worst Robin, a sidekick that did all the work, the Joker’s pre-Harley sidekick, why one notable sidekick is missing, and much more! Plus, a listener question that honors the memory of Stan Lee.
Friend of the show Kel McDonald returns this week to talk about her new Comixology Original The Stone King! Of course, we also talk about werewolves, as well as the horror of drawing horses, characters talking to themselves, asking artists what they want to draw, werebears and more! Plus, a question that combines the worlds of wrestling and comics!
Friend of the show Michel Fiffe returns to the show this week to talk about his new GI Joe series, Sierra Muerte! We talk a lot about G.I. Joe. A lot. Copra and Bloodstrike come up a couple times, but it’s mostly G.I. Joe. Plus, Matt and Chris take a meta listener question!
It’s our annual Halloween episode, so you know we had to ask on our annual Halloween guest, Benito Cereno! We’ve gotten together with him to create a list of 20 monsters–fictional and perhaps not-so-fictional–ranked from best to worst. Who will win the Monster Match? Listen and find out!
Friend of the show Christopher Hastings and new pal Branson Reese are asking us to let them into this week’s show, and we’re excited to have them! We’re talking about their new graphic novel, Draculagate, as well as building a world around monster diplomats, storytelling habits from webcomics, The West Wing vs. Veep, what makes Dracula special, sequel possibilities and much more! Plus, Matt and Chris take a high-difficulty listener question!
Friend of the show Jeremy Whitley is back this week to talk about his new Rainbow Brite series, the return of The Unstoppable Wasp and “Suicide Squad for My Little Pony”! We talk about sleep habits, getting hit by hurricanes, heist teams made up of cartoon heroines of the 1980s, what the Wasp team was doing on its hiatus, working with a greeting card company and a whole lot more! Plus, Matt and Chris answer a listener question about some BS!
