The Comic Source Podcast Jace Milam

Jace welcomes writer Brain Buccellato back to the show to talk about he epic Justice League Vs. Godzilla Vs. Kong. Brian gives us some behind the scenes thoughts on the challenges of juggling such a huge cast of heroes, villains AND monsters! Plus his thoughts on grounding the story with emotion to allow for a more complete narrative. We have loved this series from the start and it's clear that Brian is having as much fun writing it as we are having when we read each issue. Join us as Brian teases the epic conclusion and cross your fingers that we will get a follow up series from this incredible creative team.
 

Jace is joined by writer Rich Douek to talk about three of the series he has written, including one current and two past. The current series Heartpiercer, is a mash up of fantasy and horror with all-out action and great art. Plus a great homage to classic teen films like Breakfast Club and Goonies, with just a little horror sprinkled in, The Ocean Will Take Us is a great title with manga influenced are and gorgeous colors. The final title also calls back to some great films, this time it's classic car chase movies like Cannonball Run, Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry and even the cheesy 90's flick, The Chase with Charlie Sheen. Drive Like Hell draws inspiration from all of these and in classic Douek fashion, Rich brings in a horror feel, with devils, demons and angels to ratchet up the action. Join us for all the details!

Jace and Rocky chat about the DC Comics titles for the week of May 14, 2024. House of Brainiac continues to ramp up the action as Lobo returns to form. The action is also escalating towards Absolute Power in Suicide Squad: Dream team as we learn just how formidable Dreamer can be. Green Lantern has a surprise twist that does not bode well for the Lanterns as Dylan Dog and Batman resolve their case in an unexpected way. Plenty of action in the other titles as well, but the standout may just be the touching tribute to the legendary Ramona Fradon. 

Jace welcomes Josie Campbell to the show to talk about the first season of the hit animated show My Adventures With Superman, tease the second season, which debuts May 26th, and give us some details about the upcoming comic book series based on the animated show. The series serves as a bridge between the first and second season of the show and is essentially the "Christmas episode" that they just didn't have space for in the first season. It is clear from fan reaction and Josie's enthusiasm for the show, that My Adventures With Superman is resonating with fans and the creators behind the property in equal measure.
