  • 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. Every week I find myself wondering if these guys are even r... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Comic Book Club Bonus: Darryl Cunningham
Q: So why the change? Why go from these pretty intense nonfiction books to something that is a wild sci-fi, fantasy-esque story?
Because I wanted to explore more imaginative storytelling and create a big, fast-moving structure where ideas about morality, philosophy, and religion could be explored in a lighter, more playful way while still engaging with serious topics.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Benjamin Percy Goes Dark For Midnight Fantastic Four
Q: Can you discuss the collaboration dynamic with the other writers and artists involved in the Midnight universe?
The team operates like a writers' room, staying in constant communication and planning across Slack, with a shared vision while allowing individual artists to contribute their cinematic instincts to the storytelling.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Benjamin Percy Goes Dark For Midnight Fantastic Four
Q: Why release multiple issues at once, and how does that shape the storytelling approach?
Releasing the first three months together creates a moonlit spotlight on the project, signals Marvel's strong backing, and allows for a more expansive, runway-driven narrative that unfolds with long-term planning rather than year-to-year gaps.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Benjamin Percy Goes Dark For Midnight Fantastic Four
Q: What is the core setup for Midnight Fantastic Four and how does it differ from the traditional take on the team?
The core is an origin story set in a new pocket universe where the team starts without powers and must coalesce amid cosmic horror, with fresh origin tales and a willingness to explore gray areas rather than clear-cut heroism.
Comic Book Club Bonus: Tyler Crook Also Sends Archie To Hell
Q: Is Archie going to be drawn with more extreme physical changes as the series progresses, or will the focus stay on his optimistic personality?
Crook emphasizes that the core appeal is Archie's optimism and youth, with any changes serving storytelling needs while preserving that essential spirit.
