  • 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 @ NYCC 2026: Midnight Universe With Jonathan Hickman, Matteo Della Fonte, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, And Benjamin Percy
Q: Why start Reed Richards in that place, already mad and writing on the walls of the house?
Benjamin Percy says Reed has been bailed out of prison by Sue Storm, who is forcing a purge to restore his physical health. Percy wanted readers to see how close Reed was to ruin before that intervention.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Eric Palicki
Q: Did you write this as a four issue series?
Palicki says it was pitched and approved as a four-issue series, but AHOY Comics decided to make it a Kickstarter graphic novel because four issues was an awkward length for its publishing plans.
Comic Book Club @ NYCC 2026: Midnight Universe With Jonathan Hickman, Matteo Della Fonte, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, And Benjamin Percy
Q: What's it like finally having the issue out in front of everybody and interacting with fans here at the con?
Jonathan Hickman says fans seem to like the issue, and explains that the team had less preparation time than usual but worked hard to bring it together.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Eric Palicki
Q: Can you talk about sort of how you landed on this story?
Palicki says he gravitates toward fantasy that is only slightly removed from the real world, and chose dragons because they are visually compelling and underused in comics.
Comic Book Club @ NYCC: Sean Mackiewicz Talks Skybound's New Visions Line Featuring Bumblebee, G.I. Joe, And Turok
Q: How did you land on these characters and titles for the first books?
Skybound considered which characters suited the format and responded to creator pitches. Bumblebee was a priority, while Turok offered a chance for a contemporary take on a long-running character, shaped by Stephen Graham Jones's pitch.
