    Paul Tobin and PJ Holden Interview - Dark Pyramid

    Horror is one of my favorite genres and I’ve often heard horror creators on the show talk about avoiding a modern setting in their work. How do you deal with technology, cell phones, and social media? It’s way easier to just drop it in the nostalgia of the 80s before much of that happened and we’ve seen an explosion of popular IPs set in the era of Pac Man and MTV, but what if you had a horror story with a social media influencer as the protagonist putting their experience front and center in front of a live worldwide audience? That’s the hook of the new five issue mini-series Dark Pyramid from Mad Cave Studios and I’m lucky enough to have co-creators Eisner Winning comics writer Paul Tobin and his extraordinary artist accomplice PJ Holden to tell us all about it on today's episode. Truthfully, prior to my interest in this book, I didn't know all that much about the Dark Pyramid in Alaska. Conspiracy theorist I am not, but it does make for an interesting backdrop to this folk horror take in rural Alaska. We get into how the myth inspired some of the book's elements, how using a protagonist who is documenting their life live works in a horror story, and PJ tells us all about his experience starting improv. Dark Pyramid hits shelves on March 12th. Paul's website: https://www.paultobin.net PJ's website: https://www.pauljholden.com From the publisher Hooky Hidalgo, adventurist and popular live streamer, has gone missing while climbing Mt. Denali in Alaska! When his girlfriend, Becca, arrives at the base of the mountain to retrace his steps, she soon discovers something beyond the dreamy and impressive landscape. There’s a conspiracy deep within the heart of Denali itself—a dark pyramid, silent, waiting. Becca—and the scores of Hooky fans determined to either find him or find some fun—will face death, avalanches….and monsters to find the truth. PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

We get into his time selling pogs, what impact Diamond's recent Chapter 11 announcement might have for retailers, and a whole mess of other things. Don't miss it.

    David Andry Interview - Crush Depth

    David Andry returns to the podcast to chat with Jimmy about his new Mad Cave series Crush Depth. David and Tim Daniel have written a fascinating story of a submarine crew, isolated for years from the surface, and on the cusp of discovering something terrible. Issue 1 is about as good as it gets to establish the world, build tension, and then Artist Alex Sanchez delivers phenomenal artwork both beautiful and unsettling. David and Jimmy chat Morning Star, why Crush Depth made sense as a follow-up, his writing partnership with Tim Daniel, and some of those great 80s/90s underwater series like The Abyss, Leviathan, DeepStar Six, and The Rift. It's always a pleasure to have David on the podcast. FOC (Final Order Cutoff) for Crush Depth is February 24th so make sure to tell your LCS to add it to your pull list by then. Issue 1 comes out March 19th.  From Mad Cave Studios Two brothers locked in a sibling rivalry wrestle for command of a massive nuclear submarine, The Absolution, in a near future irrevocably altered by climate change. Chief Science Officer Liana Pearson finds herself not only caught between the Wilder brothers but drowning in her fear of the surface world. When something alien infiltrates The Absolution and upends the balance of power, Liana is left with only two deadly options--reaching the toxic surface world or steering the sub into the unforgiving abyss and crush depth-Breathe Deep!

    Tony Parker Interview - Medusa

    Bouncer union unit! To the best of my knowledge, this is the second time we've hosted a former bouncer on the show. It's not something I normally get to discuss and definitely the first time I've ever gotten to ask the question, "What was your Marvel bouncer personality?" But this isn't a podcast about bouncing, it's actually all about one of my favorite graphic novels of 2024, it's just that bouncing actually can be applied to the book. That book is Medusa from Dark Horse Comics created by writer/illustrator Tony Parker who is today's show guest. If you aren't yet familiar with the project, it's one of the most creative reimaginings of Greek mythology I've ever seen. Show topics include the unique character designs of a silent protagonist, collaborating with colorist extraordinaire Tamra Bonvillain, and the use of pacing and kinesics in storytelling which is something I've been increasingly mindful of in the medium. From the publisher Everything you know about Medusa is a lie. Forever cursed to be remembered as a monster, this ageless yet very mortal hero has spent millennia saving humanity from the horrors of legend. But now, today, in Scotland, she has met a foe that makes even the gods hide in fear. Armed with unwavering resolve, will the mighty Medusa be able to save mankind one last time?

    Ron Marz Interview

    Today's guest on the Cryptid Creator Corner needs no introduction, but here goes anyway. Among others, he's written for Marvel (Silver Surfer), DC (Green Lantern), Dynamite, Valiant, Image, Dark Horse, and CrossGen. He's written Batman/Aliens, DC versus Marvel, Green Lantern versus Aliens, and the Amalgam Comic Doctor StrangeFate. He wrote Hal Jordan becoming a villain, basically started the "Women in Refrigerators" trope, and withstood the H.E.A.T. of a mid-90s campaign to have him fired from writing DC Comics. It's Ron Marz! Ron joins Jimmy to talk about his long career in comics, the stories he likes to tell, and which characters he still hopes to tackle. Ron talks about some of his experiences attending conventions all over the World and why he enjoys them. This is a wide-ranging conversation with one of the greats.
