Adrian Has Issues

This week's episode features Enrica Jang, a writer and founder of the independent comics publisher Red Stylo Media. Enrica tells her personal story from starting as an intern for a comic book publisher to an editor and eventually calling her own shots as an Editor-In-Chief. In addition to a number of graphic novels and original series, Red Stylo has released a series of comic anthologies including The Poe Twisted Anthology and Killer Queen, which is based on the music of Queen. Most recently, the publisher has set to release, 27, an anthology based on the infamous "27 Club" based on musicians such as Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and Jimi Hendrix and more who have died by the age of 27. Check out the Kickstarter for 27 here!

This week, Adrian is joined by Ed Traquino, an Emmy-nominated British commercial artist based out of New York City. Represented by the advertisement company Famous Frames, Ed details his career as a successful illustrator and storyboard artist. Not stopping there, Ed has also created two comics: Cee & Bee, an adventure in the spirit of Tintin as well as an irreverent anthology titled Pumpin' Jam. This episode is chock-full of comic book geekiness including discussions on British comic creators, Daniel Clowes, and horror movies.

It's a convention double-header on today's episode of AHI! After "con"-quering both Special Edition: NYC and Eternal Con (Episodes 15 & 16), Adrian set his sights on Northeast Comic-Con and Too Many Games, returning to New Jersey with two geek-tastic interviews: The first interview features Vivek J. Tiwary, a #1 New York Times bestselling author and Tony Award-winning Broadway producer. We all know the story of the "Fab Four," but what about the person who discovered them? Vivek provides listeners with the incredible back story detailed in the acclaimed graphic novel The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story. The second interview features programmer and indie game developer Rick Kelly, the founder of Underbyte Studios. Rick has been a programmer since youth and has taken his lumps, eventually landing a dream job working for The Elder Scrolls Online before starting his own company. His flagship game, Heroes Guard: The Journal, is an interactive fiction/role-playing game where the player is truly in charge of their destiny.

It's convention season and Adrian's "Issues" have never been greater! Joining him on this wild ride through autographs, panels and cosplay is his girlfriend and creative director Eileen aka "Nica." The couple discuss relationship bliss and their adventures at both Special Edition: NYC and Eternal Con. Adrian & Eileen meet a hip-hop legend! Eric Roberts woos Eileen while Adrian is completely powerless in the presence of the original Red Ranger. And that's not even the half of it!. So sit back, relax and laugh as a couple completely geeks out on an all new episode of Adrian Has Issues!

Last week ReedPop hosted the 2nd Annual Special Edition: NYC, the comic book-centric sister convention to New York Comic Con. Needless to say it was a lot of fun! Today's episode features two interviews conducted at Pier 94 during Special Edition

I'm probably the last person to have seen this summer's hit movie Mad Max: Fury Road. Oh, well. I'm going to post this minisode out of order to give you my thoughts on it. As per usual, you can also check out this and all of my episodes on iTunes and Stitcher!

The podcast crossover event of 2015 is here! Getting to "First Base" with the gang at BSXcluded: Issues With Friends several months ago was an absolute blast. In fact, so much fun was had a "second date" needed to happen. IWF hosts Joe and Shaddai stop by for a hilariously irreverent discussion of podcasting fetishes, tornadoes and vampire escorts. Part 2 of this podcast continues on IWF Special 011: Adrian Has Issues With Friends (2 of 2). Have issues of your own? Leave a review on iTunes and Stitcher!

Love it or hate it, the Fast & Furious film franchise is one of the most successful series in the world. Back in Episode 10, Adrian and guest host Moriah Hummer, the creator of the comic Flat Track Furies quickly discovered a mutual geeky affection towards the movies, so they've reunited to talk the past, present and future of this weird street racing opus and ask the tough questions: Which series jumped the shark? What's the deal with Lucas Black's accent and why does Adrian insist on defending Tokyo Drift? Is Ja Rule's character a cyborg? There's also a review of Furious 7 and predictions for future installments. So sit back, relax and "act a fool" while listening to another great episode of Adrian Has Issues

When you think about it, comic books and pro-wrestling aren't so different. To further explain why is today's special guest Pat McDermott, the host of the Club Kayfabe podcast. Together, he and Adrian cover a plethora of topics including CM Punk's transition from wrestler to comic book writer, Brock Lesnar as the real-life Incredible Hulk, the hilarity/awfulness of the G.I. Joe film franchise and the promise of a Ninja Turtles movie that might not suck...as much. There's so much awesomeness in this episode. Enjoy!

Nothing puts a damper on podcasting like an injury, but I shall press on in the form of a brand-new minisode! Since everyone else has been reviewing Daredevil (that and I'm waiting until I can book a fun guest for that) I've decided to talk about how the series' success could affect future comic book TV shows. Additionally, I also get into the spoilers found in the absurd press junket for Avengers Age of Ultron, "dark" storytelling and ask an age-old question: why are Batman and Superman so angry?
