    Great podcast! I listen regularly, with no idea who the guests are, but the content is great and every show is ‘school day’ for me. Keep the good work and hopefully soon I can buy some merch in the UK!

  • Excellent Comics Pro Interviews For The Nostalgic Fan!

    From the beginning Oren, Joe and Mike have been booking fantastic guests on their show and diving into the history of comic books, especially for fans of the 80’s and 90’s boom period. I’ve learned so much about the behind the scenes of the comic books that I was reading as a kid and always come out of listening to each episode with a greater appreciation for the journey of the creators who have entertained me for decades.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Yates Returns | Marcus Walker: Kingslayer Protocol
Q: How did this arise and what can readers expect without giving too much away?
The project began after a consequential career shift from Disney, leading to a desire to tell a personal story that blends influences from their favorite animation and tokusatsu, culminating in Marcus Walker, Kingslayer Protocol, with a plan to reveal a complete six-issue arc via a Kickstarter.
Indie Insights: Dennis Robinson (Hive Head Studios) | Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey
Q: What are the biggest lessons from Kickstarter campaigns so far?
Plan detailed budgeting for rewards, avoid expensive stretch goals, and secure reliable manufacturers to prevent cost overruns and production issues.
Indie Insights: Dennis Robinson (Hive Head Studios) | Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey
Q: How much of the overall story is planned out versus discovered as you write?
The ending is known and roughly sketched, with book-by-book planning for the arc through book 15, while keeping flexibility for new ideas as the series evolves.
Indie Insights: Dennis Robinson (Hive Head Studios) | Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey
Q: And how would you describe Lycan Solomon's Odyssey to someone who hasn't read it yet?
It's a multi-layered werewolf saga that blends horror, adventure, mythology, and historical settings, with the same core character traveling to different regions and interacting with regional myths and gods.
Ben Dunn
Q: How do you view the ownership issue in comics vs. working for Marvel/DC?
Owning your creations gives you freedom and long-term value, but you trade off the security of a steady paycheck. Marvel/DC ownership of IPs has historically kept the big characters alive, but indie creators benefit from ownership and direct reader support today more than ever.
