  • Exactly What I’ve Been Waiting For

    Let’s Talk Comics has quickly become my most anticipated weekly podcast. Jim is a great interviewer always asking thoughtful inside industry questions with a nice mix of more accessible ones for casual readers as well. With back to back episodes with David Finch and Jason Fabok I finally had to leave a review. The sense of community this show makes me feel like I’m in a private club and everyone is invited.

Checked out an issue of Ice Cream Man off the strength of the recommendation, and as I shared in the bittersweet and unfortunately melty joy I realized Camp wrote a page in the same issue as Grant Morrison. So happy to see further and further heights reached base camp to base camp as Deniz climbs comics mountain, and shoutout to the teams behind all... more

  • A Masterclass in comics disguised as a conversation

    As someone who’s always loved comic books but recently started exploring the idea of creating my own graphic novel, Let’s Talk Comics has been an absolute game-changer. Every episode feels like a breath of fresh air—part deep-dive interview, part casual conversation among people who live and breathe the medium.
