s08e04: In Conversation with writer CULLEN BUNN ** Originally Livestreamed on YouTube, Sunday 6th September 2020 ** Cullen Bunn is somebody I've been wanting to get on the podcast for literally years, certainly since a very brief 'passing of ships in the night' at MCM London Comic Con in 2018. A fantastic writer of comics, short stories and novels, Cullen is a born storyteller with work crossing all styles and genres, published under the banner of pretty much every company under the sun. But he is somebody who relishes in interacting with the fans at conventions so it'll be fascinating to hear how he has been coping in a year with comic cons.

s08e03 In Conversation with JAMES TYNION IV ** Originally aired on YouTube, Sunday 30th August 2020 ** James Tynion IV is a man on fire right - the writer behind not only 'Joker War' and Punchline currently running in the pages of DC Comics but also blowing audiences minds with books such as the Eisner-nominated SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN and WYND for BOOM! Studios - he also has some incredible titles and projects coming down the pipe including the mind-bending thriller THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH (with artist Martin Simmonds) and digital horror anthology RAZORBLADES (with editor Steve Foxe). We are extremely lucky to get the chance to talk to James about spinning all of the plates in 2020, his process, his comic con history and favourite memories of interacting with fans, and how he has been personally impacted by the events of 2020. What events, I hear you ask? Damn, line them up, there's been so f$%king many....!! TALKIN' CON: A CUP O' TEA with AN ENGLISHMAN IN SAN DIEGO A bi-weekly livestream, hoste

s08 INCIDENTAL EPISODE - In Conversation with JEFF TREXLER (COMIC BOOK LEGAL DEFENSE FUND C.B.L.D.F. Special) The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (C.B.L.D.F.) is an organisation that serves to be in the corner of creators, administrators and publishers in the comic industry, fighting for the legal and financial powers of those that find themselves on the other side of any oppressive challenge to their work. This is something that been a worthy cause for decades - but, in recent weeks, the C.B.L.D.F. has been under intense scrutiny, due to the reprehensible actions of its now-removed Director, taking place and hidden under the carpet over many years. Jeff Trexler is an author, an attorney and now the Interim Director of the C.B.L.D.F., and he finds himself in the unenviable task of not only restoring the reputation of the organisation, if possible, while also making the case for the organisations continued existence, in the face of many who believe that the good that has been done has been forever tarnished by

s08e02 PART 1 - DC FANDOME REVIEW This weekend has seen the fruits of the labours of many an editor and After Effects renderer as DC Comics and Warner Bros. unleashed their flashy 'Virtual Global Fan Experience' / 'don't call it a comic con' DC FANDOME onto the world. Trailers were shown, sizzle reels unveiled, fan art and cosplays showcased, promotional showboating was deployed and even more Zoom calls were recorded and unleashed for the delight of baying fans over the course of twenty-four hours - but was it enough to sate the appetites of rabid DC fans. And did it, could it, should it ever fill the hole in the hearts and minds of comic con aficionados? Leonard has his thoughts, of course...

s08 INCIDENTAL EPISODE: Scott Snyder Talks 'Nocternal' During the difficult time of lockdown, the comics industry - as did all of us - found itself in limbo, facing the even harder challenge of how it would resume business and keep telling stories once society struggled to get back on its feet. Scott Snyder and thousands of other writers and artists found themselves looking towards alternative ways to maintain the connection with their fans and readers, as well as generate income for the tough time ahead. Scott, alongside his co-creator and artist Tony S. Daniel, has turned to crowdfunding to help create Best Jackett Press, an imprint that will eventually publish through Image Comics a new high-concept title NOCTERNAL - the book will see print in the beginning of 2021 but, for the first time ever, Scott will unveil script pages of his work along with WIP and original B&W artwork for the book in a special Collectors Edition to be released before the end of the year. Scott joins us for a short 20min interview
