It's an interview show where we talk to comics and nerd culture media creators about their passions, careers, and creative journies. What fuels creativity? What does creative genius look like up close? What inspires the art and artists that make it? We aim for interviews that crackle with creative energy and excitement. It's about the process, the craft, and the dreams behind the things we love.

That said, there are still at least 3 more episodes. -

Guest Bio
Nikita made a smashing debut as a child, performing, as well as writing, the enchanting theatrical piece called “The Cat, the mouse and the Golden Cheese”. The audience, consisting of her parents, saw her potential, and let her move out of the house at 15, to commence her world travels.
A former resident of Kyoto, and both north, middle, and south cities of Sweden, her first book was published in 2012 (a short scifi called “Eternity, sister”), and since then she’s also managed to birth a short film into the world which premiered, to mixed and bad reviews, on the 26th of July 2018. It has since migrated to Cinema Queer México, where it was streamed during 2021’s edition of their international film festival, and then went on to be screened at QFest Houston, during the beginning of October.
Nikita herself is now dedicated to the visual arts, TV Asahi, and storytelling through sequential imagery, and is working on her next novel (a nordic horror fest) and a comic book project called “The Tiny Island”. -

Customer Reviews
Delightful!
What a fun interview show! Titular Characters strikes the perfect balance between geeky and accessible, and all guests have been fantastic so far. I started just listening to the episodes featuring people I was familiar with, like Erik Larsen and Tom Brevoort, but soon enough I was making my way through the rest of the catalogue. Looking forward to future conversations!
A Credit to Lipton
“Titular Characters” is a delight. This show is to comics what James Lipton’s “Inside the Actors’ Studio” is to acting. Your mistress-of-ceremonies is the talented & adorable Eva Webb as she interviews the myriad of personalities that make up the comic book medium. Those personalities include (though are certainly not limited to) established creators, like Erik Larsen of SAVAGE DRAGON renown, to up incoming, alternative talents like Jen the Mouse, to comic scholars like Dr. Comics himself, Jason Tondro, to passionate fans like myself with their wrongheaded notions to the intrinsic merits of Spider-Man’s Clone Saga! All voices, all perspectives are welcome as Eva shares w/ the listener her passion, her grace & her hardwork. Well worth a listen. Oh!, and I nearly forgot: Bring candy!
Good Interviews with Interesting Guests
I just found this podcast and I find myself really engaged with the conversation. I just listened to Episode 12, it’s a really good interview. This podcast is worth a listen.
