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...

s08e06 - In Conversation with writer CHRIS CONDON & artist JACOB PHILIPS ('THAT TEXAS BLOOD')

Image Comics is currently undergoing a massive push on some incredible titles on its publishing schedule, with hit after hit going great guns at comic boom shops reopening across the globe. UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, ICE CREAM MAN, BLACK MAGICK, GIDEON FALLS, MERCY, SEA OF STARS... the titles go on and on. The imagination and sheer storytelling prowess on display at Image have been nothing short of remarkable.

One such comic is the American crime noir thriller, THAT TEXAS BLOOD, written by Chris Condon and with art by Jacob Philips - but getting the book out of the door has not been an easy task, not in 2020. The chaps join us to talk about what it has taken to create the book in the first place, the inspirations and process of getting it made and what they have planned for this initial chapter of the story. and then also the challenges of releasing a book when the world is seemingly (and literally) on fire...
