    Ronny Creates is BACK on Talkin' Comics! Over a year after his first appearance, Ronny Creates returns to talk with AJ about everything that has happened since Episode 20—including conventions, Radical Comics, building an indie comic universe, and the upcoming Unbreakable All-Star Issue #3: “Retribution.” Issue #3 is already finished, and Ronny is taking it to Kickstarter to help fund printing and posters. The story digs deeper into All-Star's grief, his role as a superhero, his relationship with his wife, and the difficult line between justice and revenge. We also talk about some seriously cool creator rewards, including the opportunity for supporters to actually create a character in the Unbreakable All-Star universe. But that's not all! AJ and Ronny also talk about: 📚 Absolute Batman and other Absolute Universe books ⚡ Thor #800 🐴 Beta Ray Bill and the Walt Simonson Thor run 🎨 Learning to draw comics and the challenges of drawing faces and hands 🦸 The Chronicles of Panel Pete 📖 Creating zines and expanding comic book universes 🏪 Selling comics at conventions and comic shops 📱 TikTok Shop and building an audience online 🤝 Radical Comics and other indie creators 🎪 Comic conventions and the indie comic community 💥 The future of Unbreakable All-Star Ronny also explains why Gotham City might be the worst comic book world to actually live in, which comic villain he understands the most, and what the title of his own comic book life would be today.

    EP: 143 Adam Tierney Talks 13 Demons Dead, Godzilla & His Journey From Video Games to Comics

    What happens when you combine horror, manga, teenage drama, demons and the experience of a veteran video game writer? In this episode of Talkin' Comics, AJ Reimann sits down with writer Adam Tierney to talk about his new graphic novel 13 Demons Dead, his journey from video games into comics, and the incredible projects he's worked on along the way. Adam has spent more than two decades working in video games, including projects involving X-Men, Batman, Justice League, River City Girls and Yars Rising. Now he's bringing that experience to comics with 13 Demons Dead, a horror graphic novel about 14-year-old Everly “Ev” Espada, who discovers that she has become the latest demon hunter in a 2,000-year-old battle. We talk about what inspired 13 Demons Dead, the challenges of creating a 250+ page graphic novel over several years, working with artist Saspy, and why Adam wanted to combine genuine horror with humor, heart, school drama and manga-inspired storytelling. Adam also takes us behind the scenes of his work on Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre: Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla, his experiences writing Batman and X-Men video games, working with legendary creators, and how networking at conventions can open unexpected doors. Plus, we talk about comic shops, indie comics, conventions, favorite characters, current comics, and the dream of getting to work with the characters and creators who inspired you. If you're a fan of horror comics, manga, graphic novels, Godzilla, Batman, X-Men, video games or indie comic creators, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Host: A.J.

    EP: 142 GRIM by Stephanie Phillips! Comic-Con Haul, Walt Simonson & More

    What happens when a comic-loving dad and daughter hit the road for a comic convention? A LOT of comics! Welcome to Talkin' Comics Episode 142! After a crazy road trip that took us to Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Terrificon, we're back with a massive comic haul, creator encounters, signed comics, collectibles, new books and plenty of comic-book conversation. One of the biggest highlights was getting to meet Walt Simonson and having him sign the massive Mighty Thor omnibus! We also met Stephanie Phillips, talked with other creators, got to meet in person for the first time and hang out with Mike from Dork Arts Comics, and picked up some amazing comics and convention exclusives. Annakhan also has some great convention finds of her own, including Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Uncle Scrooge, Kingdom Hearts, and more. Then we jump into our weekly comic pulls, mail time, blind bags, and our featured GRIM segment! We talk about Grim by Stephanie Phillips, answer GRIM trivia questions, and play a special GRIM This or That game. Plus, AJ celebrates a pretty big personal milestone in his journey of learning to draw: selling his first piece of artwork! If you're a fan of comic books, indie comics, comic conventions, Marvel, DC, Thor, Stephanie Phillips, GRIM, Walt Simonson, comic collecting, or just love talking comics with your family, this episode is for you!
