    Chris Condon Spotlight 2026 - Brutal, Dark, Ultimate Wolvering & More!

    On this episode of The Comic Source, Jace welcomes returning writer Chris Condon for a conversation that begins with the launch of Brutal Dark for DC's revived Vertigo line, including how the project evolved from earlier iterations into its current form, the pulpy crime-noir and supernatural influences behind Ezra Cain's world, and the collaborative storytelling approach Condon shares with artist Jacob Phillips, plus a reminder to pre-order Brutal Dark #2 ahead of its March 25 release. The discussion then shifts to Image Comics' News From the Fallout now collected in trade, looking back on the book's creative risks, the use of back matter and design elements, the team's celebration event, and future possibilities for additional time-period stories with Jeffrey Allan Love. Condon also talks about his time on Marvel's Ultimate Wolverine, what it has meant to write the character, how the series evolved from its original plan, and teases what's ahead with Ultimate Impact: Reborn arriving May 20, including the process of building new characters and exploring the Ultimate Universe's Negative Zone, before also previewing his upcoming Darth Vader project and how he's approaching the character's "hammer" presence and tone. The interview also covers the newly announced Image series Of The Earth (also out May 20), an eco-horror neo-noir story co-written with Andrew and brought to life by Charlie Adlard with colors by Pip Martin and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, before closing with reflections on fan response to Condon's Green Arrow finale, a brief update on That Texas Blood, and where listeners can follow more behind-the-scenes work via the Condon/Phillips Patreon and newsletter.Throughout the episode, Condon shares insight into collaboration, tone, creative risk-taking, and the balance between independent and Big Two storytelling.

    DC Spotlight February 4, 2026: The Comic Source

    The latest DC Spotlight episode for the week of February 4, 2026 features Jace and Rocky breaking down a strong slate of eleven new DC releases while reflecting on a rare week free of industry-wide bad news. The discussion is led by the return of The Nice House by the Sea #7, with James Tynion IV and Álvaro Martínez Bueno resuming the series after a long hiatus and using character guides and carefully integrated recap to maintain narrative momentum, followed by Batman: Static Beyond #3, which gains traction as Miguel Mendonça's art and a more action-driven focus push the Elseworlds concept forward. Batgirl #16 marks a turning point in Cassandra Cain's arc, delivering resolution to the Unburied storyline, expanding the Lazarus mythology, and setting up a return to Gotham, while DC KO: Night Fight #4 closes its mini-series by exploring Batman's exile from the tournament, alternate futures, and the consequences of loss before re-inserting him into the larger DC KO event. The episode also covers Batman #6, emphasizing character fallout and the status shift for Tim Drake, Poison Ivy #41, which advances Pamela Isley's path toward running for mayor through a jail-cell-centered narrative that keeps her agency intact, and DC KO: Boss Battle #1, a crossover-heavy one-shot pairing DC characters with external properties in a high-concept escalation of the tournament. Additional discussion includes JSA #16 continuing its Year One focus on early team dynamics, Absolute Green Lantern #11 deepening Al Ewing's dense mythology with escalating threats and spectrum lore, Absolute Superman #16 introducing an Absolute Hawkman origin while advancing Lex Luthor and Brainiac plot threads, and Superman: Chains of Love Special #1, a Creeper- and Livewire-focused story that rounds out the week, before the hosts rank their favorites and preview the looming impact of DC KO #4.
