Blue Tiger Revenge

Revenge is best served in print!

We sat down with the creative crew from the ever growing, indie-power-house, Warden Comics to discuss their newest project; “Requiem in Relke.” Written by Gabe Cheng with Colleen Palmer on art, the project’s campaign is currently live on Kickstarter and moving steadily towards its goal.

This one-shot is the story of a half-human named Aurora who has returned to her back-water roots upon learning of the brutal slaying of her grandmother. An assassin by trade, she seeks to extract some much deserved revenge on the local crime lords responsible and discovers that there is much more at play in her sleepy sub-futuristic small town.

Murder! vengeance! Civil rights! Crossroads! And donuts (because who doesn’t enjoy a good donut)! This sci-fi tale has all the elements of the great retribution western. Gabe grants the reader a unique and personal perspective though the inner dialogue of protagonist, Aurora. While Colleen pushes the visuals with her charming painterly style and “golden age” storytelling.

“Requiem in Relke” is currently campaigning on Kickstarter, so go and check it out. If you’re a fan of the modern/sci-fi western this is for you. Go! Do it! And while you’re at it visit Warden Comics and all the new books that Ludie Sexton is putting together.

A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-printing availability. As the veil gets pulled back ever further and the predatory practices of the corporate publishing models get revealed, it is more and more important to support those who actually create the stories and art that we as consumers enjoy. So SUPPORT INDIE COMICS. Help make the indies the mainstream. Even the smallest of gestures can be of the biggest help.

It’s Comic Con from beautiful San Diego, California! And Bry and Tadd break down some of their favorite news and announcements to come rolling out of “America’s Finest City.” Including a much surprised revival of an old gate-way gimmick, Cap-Wolf!

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is finally released out in the wilds. Our own Heart and Soul” has placed all of his hopes, dreams, and beard into what is shaping up to be the next generation of Turtles movies.

It’s quiet…. Too quiet.

Brace yourself as the Blue Tiger explodes out of the silent void and into your earholes. As the hiatus comes to an end, the “Revenge Crew” renew their thirst for … revenge? Once again!

Dropping it old school, like fresh ink on a hot page, we spoil the milk of all that’s gone down in the months of early summer.

Coach Bry has kept a watchful eye on EVERYTHING that’s been dropping from big screen to small. From the “verses” to the “man-witches,” he preaches from a top his Winnebago palace deep within the heart of the BT trailer park.

From the great land of Canada we welcome comic artist Ramon’ Perez as he hangs in the tiger den via RAID, aka the “Royal Academy of Illustration and Design.”

Nestled in the heart of Toronto, Ramon’ Perez is one of the key-stone creators propelling RAID studio into the future and beyond. We met Ramon’ back at Emerald City City Comic Con and he graciously agreed to enter the Tiger Den for the very first time.

From his award winning “Tale of Sand” to the multi-volume Image series “Stillwater”, Perez breaks down his start in the industry and the inner workings of RAID, including the studio’s recent ongoing anthology series.

Named for the house of it’s birth, “RAID” anthology is in it’s 4th volume with volumes 5 and 6 on the way. A collection of creator driven stories of various genres, the series is a smorgasbord of unique and engaging visuals from some of the most creative minds across the industry.

Proclaimed by Bry as “possibly the best anthology series he’s ever seen.” He snagged all 4 volumes for the Revenge crew. Now that’s some big praise from the big man, so now you have to get it!

Check out Ramon’ Perez and the collective of amazing creators over at RAID. And keep a look out for the upcoming volumes of “RAID” to be campaigned on Kickstarter later this year.

Film director and producer, Adam Schomer, enters the Tiger Den to talk about his new comic documentary that’s turning fan and industry heads, “Selling Superman.”

This is possibly the most anticipated and fascinating comic book documentary in recent history. We sat down with the man behind the camera, Adam Schomer, and talked about how “Selling Superman” came together.

On the surface the documentary is about a holy-grail of comic book collections, but quickly reveals a fascinating story of childhood, mental health, and legacy. We delve into the constructs of collectability, value of tangible things, and the human elements behind the most intriguing stories.

Schomer is president and founder of i2i Productions in Santa Monica, California. In addition to talking about “Selling Superman’s” production we explore Schomer’s (we can call him that because we’re cool) journey into storytelling through filmmaking and epic Himalayan motorcycle adventures.

Currently in production, “Selling Superman,” has a speculative release for early next year. You can watch the advanced trailer and support the doc at sellingsuperman.com.

The triumphant return, again, of comic artist, Bob Quinn, with his latest graphic novel, “Black Cat Social Club” from Humanoids publishing.

“Black Cat Social Club” is not your average struggling garage band. These punk rockers happen to dabble in the best forms of the dark arts; shredding rock and witchcraft! With their hard rockin’ magically juiced riffs these young witches battle the forces of evil while trying to climb the social ladder as your next favorite local thrash band!

We also dive into Bob’s creative process, with his mix of media, and regimented schedule to produce this labor of love while knocking out those infamous mutants over at Marvel.

Bob also introduced a new segment to the BTR listeners; “Taking calls with Bob” for all those long-time-listeners and first-time-callers looking to hear their answers off the air. The tiger milk flows strong in this episode.

In addition Bob made a fantastic music video to promote Black Cat Social Club:
