ECCC 2019: In Conversation with Jonathan Maberry (Emerald City Comic Con, March 2019)

ReedPOP's Emerald City Comic Con once again takes over the immense WA State Convention Center in Seattle, attracting tens of thousands of comic book and pop culture fans from across the globe, by showcasing some of the best creative talents there is to offer - our man on the ground, Dan Berry, has been very lucky to be invited along as Press, meaning hes got the chance to speak one-on-one with members of this outstanding creative melting pot.

Jonathan Maberry is having one hell of a time, deep in the middle of a creative windstorm in many fronts which is keeping him very busy, with new titles on the way, the promotion machine for the PATIENT ZERO novel continues to roll on, and adaptations of his books are either heading towards production or barrelling on full steam to hitting screens for fans to enjoy.

Jonathan talks to Dan about what is keeping him distracted at the moment, spilling a whole bunch of wonderful anecdotes as he gets into what we can expect from him in 2019.

Thanks to Jonathan for taking time out of his busy con, and to Dan for bringing the interview to us...

Ep 08 with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

In this episode, Dec talks to his own mother.

This episode was recorded back in December. Dec talks to his mum about about raising a 'creative' child in 1990s West of Ireland. This episode has a lot of funny stories. Not as informative as previous episodes but likely a lot more entertaining. Enjoy!

s08 INCIDENTAL EPISODE: Scott Snyder Talks 'Nocternal'

During the difficult time of lockdown, the comics industry - as did all of us - found itself in limbo, facing the even harder challenge of how it would resume business and keep telling stories once society struggled to get back on its feet. Scott Snyder and thousands of other writers and artists found themselves looking towards alternative ways to maintain the connection with their fans and readers, as well as generate income for the tough time ahead.

Scott, alongside his co-creator and artist Tony S. Daniel, has turned to crowdfunding to help create Best Jackett Press, an imprint that will eventually publish through Image Comics a new high-concept title NOCTERNAL - the book will see print in the beginning of 2021 but, for the first time ever, Scott will unveil script pages of his work along with WIP and original B&W artwork for the book in a special Collectors Edition to be released before the end of the year. Scott joins us for a short 20min interview to talk about the project...

s08e02 PART 1 - DC FANDOME REVIEW

This weekend has seen the fruits of the labours of many an editor and After Effects renderer as DC Comics and Warner Bros. unleashed their flashy 'Virtual Global Fan Experience' / 'don't call it a comic con' DC FANDOME onto the world.

Trailers were shown, sizzle reels unveiled, fan art and cosplays showcased, promotional showboating was deployed and even more Zoom calls were recorded and unleashed for the delight of baying fans over the course of twenty-four hours - but was it enough to sate the appetites of rabid DC fans. And did it, could it, should it ever fill the hole in the hearts and minds of comic con aficionados? Leonard has his thoughts, of course...

s08e05 - In Conversation with Lakes Festival Director JULIE TAIT
** Originally Aired on YouTube, Sunday 13th September 2020 **

The challenges placed on every aspect of pop culture, in the wake of the years global pandemic, have spilt over into every aspect of comics fandom including conventions and fan gatherings being cancelled across the board. Many of the organisers of such events have taken to the internet, putting on 'virtual cons'... but these substitutions have been found to work best when replicating a specific branch of fandom. How does this solution apply when your physical event covers many schools of creativity and even a large footprint, over a town or city?

The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is an annual event held in the picturesque city of Kendal in the Lake District, one that is held in multiple venues - art installations, libraries, schools, shopping centres and more - over the course of a weekend, similar in scale (and, indeed, reputation) to the European benchmark for such events, Angouleme. Its Director/Creator Julie Tait joins us to talk about what it has taken to transpose such a sprawling presentation into cyberspace...
