    Interview with Mark Russell

    We have a very special guest in Episode 745! It's Mark Russell from Ahoy Comics' Billionaire Island and Second Coming! The first-ever Ahoy Comics Kickstarter will launch soon, and it will focus on Mark's new tale The Forgotten Divine. Russ Braun from The Boys is providing the art. The book is described this way: "His sleep haunted by images of a faraway planet, unhoused veteran Rodney Coleman drifts into establishing a UFO cult with others plagued by dreams of the same world. The group's shared effort to understand, heartfelt at first, descends over time into unreality, conspiracy, paranoia, violence, and conceivably . . . revelation." We explore this fascinating story, including talking about the characters and what this all means! We also discuss his recent collected edition for Traveling to Mars, so I'm sure you're going to enjoy what Mark has to say!

    Wayne's Comics Podcast #740: Interview with Ven Adams

    Ven Adams, the guitarist, creative director, and co-founder of the musical band Fangbanger, is the guest this week in Episode #740! She's bringing an anthology, 120-page comic version of their album Superposition to fans around the world via her zoop.gg crowdfunding project. Ven and the rest of the band blend music and visual storytelling into a singular, immersive aesthetic. The group's work has always drawn on comic and manga influences, shaping their visuals, stage design, and narrative-driven projects. Here's how the book is described: "Superposition was the band's first and only album, and this anthology gives its themes a second life through visual storytelling. Rather than focusing only on loss, the project is about growth, memory, and the strange, beautiful process of becoming someone new after everything changes. Supporting this campaign helps turn the music into something tangible and lasting—a book that carries those emotions forward." We talk about the band, including how it was formed, how the album was brought together, and what Ven is looking forward to doing in the months and years ahead. You can support Ven and this book by going to this link, and this crowdfunder will conclude on or around Thursday, April 30.
