    Interview with Frank Barbiere and Stephen Rhodes

    In Episode #754, acclaimed storyteller and video game writer Frank Barbiere (Astonishing Times) and award-winning game writer and comics newcomer Stephen Rhodes talk about Zero Instance, the first issue now available through Comixology Originals! Frank and Stephen are bringing their expertise in video games to comics, and the first issue of Zero Instance is now available. Here's this book's description: "Rhys, a directionless college grad thought logging into his favorite MMO was just another raid with his friends, but they are shocked to find their boss fight glitching. When Chris—his best friend—doesn't log out, Rhys is forced to confront a terrifying truth: the lines between game and reality are vanishing. As an experimental AI known as Braxir begins to manipulate smart systems, twist human behavior, and build a base of operations in the real world, Rhys must decide if he's ready to lead when the game is over—and the stakes are real." We talk about how this book came to be, who the various characters are, and what else Stephen and Frank are up to these days!

    Interview with Kenny Porter

    Kenny Porter is a very busy comics creator! This week in Episode 748, we talk with him, who has had stories published by DC Comics, Image Comics, SEGA, and Top Cow, as well as Fearless from Scholastic and Barnstormers! from Insight Comics. If you visit your local comics shop, you are very likely to find at least two of his books there—The Schlub collected as a trade paperback from Image, and Superman: Father of Tomorrow from DC. Here's the description of that latter book: "In a corner of far-flung space, a world explodes. A lone rocket escapes the destruction and races through space, ultimately landing on a small farm in small-town Kansas. A kindly couple steps with trepidation toward the alien craft as the door opens. Out steps a man named Jor-El, the sole survivor of the planet Krypton! As Jor-El fits in to his new home, he realizes that he can help the world, not just with his newfound powers, but with his intellect as well. Witness how a Man of Steel and Science saves the world!" We talk about both books with Kenny as well as Operation: Iron Coffin, which is coming soon from IDW. You can check out his website at this link. If you haven't already been buying comics with his name on them, be sure to check them out after you listen to our fun conversation!
