Posted on February 16, 2023 by Wayne's Comics

It’s a great doubleheader week here during Episode #575, and it features conversations with Steven Kaul and Lyndon Radchenka, and Anthony Stokes!

Everything kicks off with Steven and Lyndon, who have a Kickstarter underway for their The Laundrymen series that will conclude this Friday, March 3, at 1:00 PM EST. It’s described this way: “The Laundrymen is an ongoing comic series about two men who work out of a laundromat and solve supernatural crimes and mysteries. Think of it like Ghostbusters meets X-Files with a splash of Supernatural!”  We discuss who the various characters are, how the book came to be, and what we can expect from them in the future!

Then everything wraps up with my interview with Anthony about his terrific book called Intrusive Thoughts, and he has a Kickstarter underway until Thursday, February 23, at 8:00 AM EST. It’s described as “an atmospheric horror comic which deals with themes of loneliness, anxiety, and depression.” When a high school bully pushes a latchkey teenager’s corroding mental state over the edge, Tyler’s mind fractures! We explore who the various characters are, how this series came to be, and what we can expect from him in the months ahead! Thoughts can’t hurt you, right?

Posted on January 6, 2023 by Wayne's Comics

Writer and creator Christian Tropeano from Beyond the Beyond is the perfect guest to launch into 2023 in Episode #569!

Christian’s sci-fi mini-series from Scout Comics is the perfect kick-off to a new year! It’s described this way: “In Beyond the Beyond, we meet Nova Vega, a teenage idealist who resides in a mining colony run by the oppressive Omni Corporation. Instead of entering the mining academy, she’d much rather be out exploring the stars like her parents before her. We also encounter Sirius Vega, Nova’s older brother and guardian, who picks her up after she’s thrown out of class for insubordination. Nova finally enacts her plan to escape the colony and explore the alien world from where her parents never returned.” We talk about the characters in this book, what it was like to create this title, and what we can expect from Christian in the future! Important disclaimer: I do help out Scout Comics behind the scenes, but I didn’t have anything to do with this great comic’s creation! Be sure not to miss this great conversation with an up-and-coming comics talent!
