What a great show. The guest list is A+, and Aaron manages to get so much out of the guests.
A little corny for my tastes, but one of the best comics interview podcasts that has ever happened. If anyone knows what Aaron is working on these days let me know! (My email is googlable.)
Please- if you are an aspired artist and i am so happy I stumbled upon this podcast. I am hoping they make more episodes because I found my podcast peeps!
This is an awesome podcast! As someone in the process of making a comic, the information and insights to creating comics is invaluable. Aaron is a great host and his enthusiasm for comics really shows thru and the guests respond in kind. Really great podcast for anyone interested in making comics.
I really enjoy the enthusiasm and energy that Aaron brings to every interview. The creators he interviews are top notch, they have outstanding advice and are interesting.
Being that I co-host a podcast myself, I always look to this show on how to keep interviews informative and thought provoking.

Congratulations Aaron on keeping this running for over a year! I've been listening to the podcast since August or September of last year. Though I haven't listened to every interview, they are very enjoyable when I have. For me, this podcast helped me gain a better perspective of my job.
Before this, every problem, frustration, or struggle that arose making comics felt like failures. The professionals didn't seem to have most of the issues I experienced, until I found this. Hearing... more
Comics Manifest is a "one-above" comics creator interview show that strives to dig deep into the creative process. Aaron does a great job guiding the interviews with top-tier writers, artists, and cartoonists to get them to speak about their process, what inspires them and how they approach their work. I always enjoy listinging while I make my own comics.
Great guests with a thorough interviewer, Comics Manifest often gives an unvarnished peek at creatives' processes, concerns and inspirations. I get the impression Aaron, just capping off his inaugural year, is getting his sea legs, but it provides a let's-see-where-this-goes energy that makes you want him to succeed. Aaron's ease grows with each episode and his guests are earnest in their desire to demystify the process of creating comics. The genuine enthusiasm and inspiration coming out of thi... more
I was blown away by Aaron Williams' inspirational Comics Manifest interview of Terry Moore! The production quality of the podcast, and Aaron's wonderful voice make it so enjoyable to listen to, it's like sitting down and hanging out with some good friends. Aaron's insightful questions and follow up also allows the person being interviewed really feel comfortable and open up and share, which is just amazing. I've just found my newest binge-listening source!!! Thanks Aaron and comics manifest!
I stumbled on this doing random comic searches in the castro podcast app. And i am so glad i did. this is a great interview show. I started with the most recent and liked it so much i started jumping around, then realized i needed to just go the episode 00. and it's been a great listen. you really must invest your time in this if you like good comic book interview shows.
Keep up the great show!!
