  • Knowledgeable, fun, and funny

    This is great podcast for re-creating that feeling of hanging out in the 90s comic shop. Lots of great conversation and interesting tangents. 😀

  • Not qualified to interview

    These guys may be able to have round table chats about weekly releases, but they certainly have a lot to learn about interviewing.

    I suggest that when they have a guest, only one of them conduct the interview. Otherwise, they are unbelievably disrespectful of their guests— sharing their own stories (who cares???), asking rambling questions to show off knowledge, being unprepared, constantly and endlessly interrupting.

    A very frustrating listening experience when they are interviewing. LET YO... more

  • Fun pair of comic nerds. This podcast is great for seasoned comic fans and for those who are just learning. They explain how comics relate to everyday life and how it is a medium for everyone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

With Great Power #357... 22 Panels with Nate Powell
Q: What is the recommended reading order now that the trilogy is complete?
Start with Come Again, then Fall Through, then Diana, and for extra payoff read Fall Through again after finishing Diana, since the interstitial moments and later revelations reframe earlier events.
With Great Power #273... 22 Panels with Ruben Bolling
Q: What has the Kickstarter journey been like for you and what does it mean for your readers?
The Kickstarter for the complete library has been a huge success, funded well beyond goal, with expectations of eight volumes and continuing expansion, driven by reader support and the appeal of owning an enduring, print-first collection of his work.
With Great Power #273... 22 Panels with Ruben Bolling
Q: Tell me about the road that led you from law and finance into cartooning and making Tom the Dancing Bug a weekly habit.
I started drawing in law school after answering a newspaper cartoonist ad; I discovered my voice there, quit the legal/finance track, and kept weekly comics going since 1990, balancing day jobs with the art, which grew into a long-running career and a dedicated readership.
With Great Power #275... 22 Panels with Miguel Vila
Q: Tell me about your comics biography and what got you into comics?
I started with painting studies in Venice, moved to Bologna to study comics because the city has a strong comics culture, and then connected with Canicola to publish Padoval and later Comfortless, which grew out of a pandemic-era mindset and the same characters from Padoval.
With Great Power #276... 22 Panels with Tom Kaczynski
Q: Tell me about your background and how you came to be who you are as a publisher and cartoonist.
Tom describes growing up in Poland, moving to West Germany and the U.S., his early exposure to European and American comics, and how those experiences guided his move into publishing with Uncivilized Books, driven by a desire to expand the global comics landscape and to publish work that might not find a home in mainstream markets.
