    EP: 159 How a Marvel Art Course Changed This Comic Artist's Work

    What does it take to become a comic book artist, create an independent comic, and find your place in the comic book community? On this episode of Talkin' Comics Podcast, AJ sits down with Mark, an independent comic book artist from the Nashville area, to talk about learning to draw, developing comic art skills, creating original stories, and finding inspiration through other creators. Mark shares how he began teaching himself to draw during 2020, why the Proko Art of Storytelling course became an important part of his artistic development, and how learning techniques like thumbnailing, composition, lighting, and visual storytelling helped him approach comic pages differently.

    From Novel to Comic Book: The Story Behind Complete Darkness with Matt Adcock

    What happens when a dark sci-fi novel becomes a comic book? On this episode of Talkin' Comics Podcast, AJ Reimann sits down with writer Matt Adcock to talk about his journey from novel writing to indie comics and the process of transforming his novel Complete Darkness into a comic book. Matt's original novel is a near-future dark sci-fi story built around a wild question: What if humanity discovered that Hell could actually be mapped? After artist Carl Brown read Complete Darkness and suggested that it would make a great comic, Matt began a completely new creative journeyโ€”learning how to translate a novel's ideas, characters, and world into sequential art. Matt explains how working with an artist changed the storytelling process and why comic writers have to let the artwork carry so much of the story. This is a conversation about more than just making comics. It's about taking an idea that exists in your head, finding the right creative people, and figuring out how to bring that idea into the real world. #ComicBooks #IndieComics #ComicBookCreator #SciFi #TalkinComics Host: A.J.

    What happens when a dad starts making comics for his kidsโ€ฆ and that little project grows into an entire comic book community? On this episode of Talkin' Comics Podcast, AJ sits down with Andy, a graphic designer and creative director from the UK who created The Beyond, a monthly subscription comic designed to bring stories, puzzles, creativity, and fun to kids.

The Beyond brings together multiple creators, with writers and artists being paid for their work, while the comic reaches young readers through schools.

    EP: 153 Powerscape: The Indie Comic Where Sports Decide Who Gets to Live

    What does it take to create an independent comic book from the ground up? On this episode of Talkin' Comics Podcast, AJ Reimann sits down with actor, writer and comic book creator Donal Thoms-Cappello, creator of Powerscape, to talk about the journey from an idea that began years ago to a fully realized independent comic. Powerscape is set in a future where humanity has rebuilt itself after catastrophic environmental collapse. A mysterious energy called CORE keeps cities alive, but that energy must be replenished. The solution? Cities compete in combat-based sporting events, with the outcome determining who receives the energy needed to survive. Donal explains where the idea came from, how his background in acting and theater influenced his approach to comics, and how he eventually teamed up with artist Stefan Toshev. We also get into one of the most important parts of making comics: collaboration. Donal and AJ compare their own experiences working with artists and discuss why giving artists room to bring their own ideas to the page can make a comic much better than either creator could have imagined alone. Donal is currently preparing a Kickstarter campaign for the Powerscape Volume One trade paperback, with the campaign expected to launch around mid-October according to the conversation. And yes... AJ absolutely wants everyone to hit that Notify Me on Launch button. This is another conversation about what makes independent comics so exciting: creators taking an idea, finding collaborators, building something together, and getting it into readers' hands. Welcome to Talkin' Comics Podcast โ€” your weekly comic book hangout for comic hauls, creator conversations, trivia, games, and everything we love about comics. Host: A.J.
