  • Too much friction

    The interview episodes are great. When they have creators on the show, they ask intelligent questions and get below the surface with their subjects. However, I listen mainly for The Stack, brief thumbnail reviews of new comics each week, and that’s becoming an unpleasant experience. Too often it devolves into Alex and Justin piling on Pete and deliberately goading him into anger or frustration. Pete, on the other hand, is easily goaded.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Comic Book Club: Wes Craig
Q: What lights you up about writing and what's your favorite part of writing?
Craig says that the process of crafting dialogue and story structure is deeply rewarding, noting that writing creates puzzles and tiny light-bulb moments that push him to be better than the day before.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Ram V
Q: How does the plotting strategy support long-term series development?
He describes using A/B/C plots to seed future seasons, ensuring that second and third seasons can be directly connected to earlier setup, keeping the narrative's momentum and allowing room for expansion.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Ram V
Q: What makes this book distinct as a Vertigo project in the current publishing landscape?
Ram V explains that the Vertigo vibe for him is about complexity, intelligence, and artistic sensibility with political and social commentary, even as trends change, and that Black Tower aims to capture that essence while telling a modern spy/magic story.
Comic Book Club: Zack Kaplan And John Pearson
Q: How do you feel about usage of AI in your fields?
The creators argue that AI has no place in the actual process of making comics as a replacement for human creativity; while acknowledging it can assist, true creativity and the storytelling journey should not be outsourced to AI, which they view as an aggregator that stifles originality.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Mark Russell Feels The Serenity Of Firefly
Q: When were you approached to work on Firefly, and what drew you to the project?
I was approached about a year ago, and I immediately said yes because this is a dream project for me; I'm a big Firefly fan and excited to contribute to its universe.
