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...

JASON INMAN is a canny feller. Writer, author, podcast host, bon viveur, man's man, man about town... We're lucky to get the opportunity to talk to Jason about his thoughts on 2020, on geek culture, and on his convention history (catch Jason in action as part of Baltimore Comic Con / Mainframe Comic Con).

We're also getting to talk to Joel Meadows (Tripwire Magazine) about his Kickstarter campaign for the Autumn Print Edition of the magazine, featuring some cracking articles on the likes of the 80th Anniversary of the Flash, a profile on Kieron Gillan and loads more. We'll also cast our eyes on Metaverse as part of ReedPOP's New York Comic Con efforts and the Lakes International Comic Art Festival Live content. Going to be a packed show...
