52 min - Pornsak Pichetshote Interview - Exquisite Corpses: The Lone Gunman
Comics writer Pornsak Pichetshote (Absolute Green Arrow) returns to the show to talk about his new Tiny Onion/Image Comics project Exquisite Corpses: The Lone Gunman.
We take a panel plunge recapping Laura's story after the tragedy in Oak Valley and where she is now, delve into this spin on the final girl trope, and take a look at the conspiracy tied to the original thirteen families from Season One.We also touch on why The Lone Gunman plays more like a conspiracy thriller than a straight backstory book, how Laura handles duty and trauma when she can't afford to be passive in the mini-series, how the Exquisite Corpses writers' room changed the way Pornsak writes comics, compare and contrast DC's Absolute Universe with creator-owned horror, talk about the development of his blog Day 2, and look ahead to Absolute Green Arrow and Absolute Black Canary.We'll see if my suggestion for the inclusion of Washington's Barista makes it into Season Two.Exquisite Corpses: The Lone Gunman hits shelves on November 4th, 2026.From the publisher
In this can’t-miss follow-up to the first EXQUISITE CORPSES series, Laura and her fellow survivors, Xavi and Jason, have attempted to carve out an existence with her winnings, far away from the evil machinations of the 13 Families. But, two years after the unfathomable events unleashed in their hometown and Laura’s game-winning performance as the Last Gunman, all that they did to survive still haunts them.Now, the legacy of the golden mask refuses to stay silent…and their lives are in danger once again. Uncover the history of the Lone Gunmen and find out what’s next for EXQUISITE CORPSES from breakout star PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE (Absolute Green Arrow), and acclaimed creators ALBERTO PONTICELLI (Unknown Soldier), JORDIE BELLAIRE (Absolute Wonder Woman), and BECCA CAREY (RADIANT BLACK)!Follow Comic Book Yeti

53 min - T.S. Luther Interview - The Digger
I cannot believe I am writing these words, but this is my 300th episode of the podcast. The Cryptid Creator Corner is over 500 episodes now and it's hard to fathom that 300 of them are ones I hosted. For this very special episode, T.S. Luther returns to the podcast to discuss the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for the trade of The Digger (no association with the recent Tom Cruise movie), building a following on social media, New York Comic-Con, our shared disdain for tall people, and I uncover T.S.'s plot to "single white female" Matthew Rosenberg!

54 min - Jeremy Whitley Interview - Navigating with You vol. 2
Jeremy Whitley returns to the podcast to discuss Navigating with You vol. 2. The book will be out November 24th from Maverick (an imprint of Mad Cave Studios). Jeremy teamed up with Felia Hanakata for this volume and the artwork is wonderful. Jeremy discusses what he wanted to explore with Neesha and Gabby's relationship as they are now in different schools, and he discusses what was important to him as he fleshed out the other characters in Neesha's and Gabby's lives. I am delighted to report that volume 2 is just as amazing as volume 1!
From the publisher:
Can the love that blossomed in their junior year survive a senior year that's pulling them in different directions?
A month ago, Gabby Graciana and her family left Durham, North Carolina to return back to their lives in Miami, Florida. For Gabby, that meant leaving behind her girlfriend Neesha Sparks. But they swore to keep up the tradition that brought them together—their manga book club.
But not every manga can be the right one at the right time, and they find themselves flailing for a next book. They discover that their favorite mangaka is working with a studio to produce an anime of one of her other stories, so book club chats become anime watch parties. But that's not the only thing in their lives that is changing.
An ex from Gabby's past returns to her life in an unexpected way as Neesha, finally comfortable in her North Carolina town, rediscovers her passion for activism—and a new group of activist friends that she might have more in common with than her now long-distance girlfriend.Follow Jeremy on Bluesky

53 min - Kelly Thompson Interview - The Bride of Frankenstein Lives
One of my favorite people in comics, Kelly Thompson (Absolute Wonder Woman, Jeff the Land Shark), is back on the show to talk about her new Skybound Universal Monsters project The Bride of Frankenstein Lives with artist Mattia De Iulis.
In 1935, The Bride of Frankenstein spent 75 minutes building to a woman with no lines, one scream, and the most iconic hair in horror film history. That scream has echoed for 90 years. Going into the conversation, I expected an exploration about the queer identity themes in the original film and its stance against heteronormativity, but Kelly delivered a very modern story about the struggle of women. We get into the Bride's battle with bodily autonomy, the cost of being built for someone else's purpose, and how Kelly found her way into the character.Kelly also discusses what Absolute Wonder Woman and The Bride have in common and teases her future Dynamite project Buffy the Vampire Slayer.⚠️ Content note: this conversation touches on consent, sexual assault, and women's safety.The Bride of Frankenstein Lives
From the publisher
Born in the heart of a thunderstorm, made of stolen flesh, electricity, and monstrous desperation, The Bride lives! With no memory of her past or understanding of what she is, The Bride took her first steps into the world and was...displeased. Now, she must discover where and who she came from and begin what every living thing begins...the process of staying alive.

47 min - Pete Collins & Matt Summo Interview - The Diabolist
Matt Summo returns to the podcast and he's brought Pete Collins with him! Matt and Pete discuss their entry into the Summit Comics Universe with The Diabolist, now on Kickstarter. The Diabolist is about a stage magician wrongfully imprisoned who turns street vigilante and it's incredible. Matt and Pete discuss the origins of their hero, being a part of Summit Comics, pro wrestling inspiration, and Pete's artistic journey from The Bardic Verses to now. I am a huge fan of these two and their comics! Plus it was great to chat with Pete after working on the two-page Immortalist story for Summit Comics.

1 hr 36 min - Mike Maihack Interview - The Moonlit Spiral
Mike Maihack, creator of Cleopatra in Space, sits down with Byron to talk about his new project The Moonlit Spiral from Candlewick Press, a Goonies-styled middle grade fantasy graphic novel focused on a treasure hunt in a world with no elves, no dwarves, and a whole lot of glowing snails. It's delightful.
There's something electric about picking up a book that feels like it was written just for you. That's how strongly I connected with this one, so I was thrilled to get Mike on the show. We talk about how a clear night of stargazing in the driveway sparked the story, how geocaching with his family shaped the treasure hunt aspects of the book, and the plethora (yes, I know what a plethora is El Guapo) of Easter eggs hiding in the names. We also get into the education of his Spider-Man: Mighty Marvel Team-Up books, why he drew the whole book without panel borders, what those colored word balloons are really for, the creatures that got cut, and why he keeps choosing joy in a genre that is currently leaning hard into trauma.
If your feed is as doom-heavy as mine, this one's an antidote. No cherry but a snail on top.

The Moonlit Spiral: https://www.candlewick.com/9781536224481/the-moonlit-spiral/Ask your local comic shop or favorite bookstore to get you a copy (Except Barnes and Noble cause they also sell AI slop)FROM THE PUBLISHER
From the creator of the Cleopatra in Space series comes a wildly imaginative, enormously thrilling and deeply felt story of treasure-hunting friends.
Best friends Rion and Zyla live in the fantastic world of Helix, where treasure hunting was once a way of life. Nowadays, though, it seems like people are more concerned with researching the past than looking for real treasure in the present. Life has gotten pretty dull, which is how Rion likes it. He lost his parents to adventure, so playing video games and hanging around his guardian Henry’s dusty, failing bookstore are all he wants to do. Then Rion discovers hidden pages in a cryptic journal left by his parents. They give clues to the biggest treasure of them all—the last prize of the famed treasure hunter Orion Flynn! It’s clear what Rion’s parents would have wanted him to do, plus Henry needs the money to stay in business. Fearless Zyla insists they have to act fast—the treasure can only be found during the once-a-decade Silver Moon, which will shine for the next six days. Accompanied by a magical fox girl, the friends make their way through twisting caves, colorful forests, and mountainous spires, encountering a host of fascinating creatures along their way to a discovery so great, it will unlock the past, present, and future.Follow Comic Book Yeti

1 hr 6 min - James Ferguson Interview - Clean Up Crew
James Ferguson returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner for his 3rd appearance on the podcast, but this time he's flying solo to discuss his new series with artist Samir Samao: Clean Up Crew. Issue 1 is currently on Kickstarter through all of October. From the Kickstarter campaign page: When Miles and Roger are forced to stay late to help the overnight janitors get the store ready for a big visit from the district manager, they were not expecting to be fighting for their lives. The janitors have more than mops and buckets. They have fangs and they're not afraid to use them. Can these two clerks use the items in the store to survive the night? Or will it be a bloody clean up in aisle 6? James and I discuss the long gestation period for this story and how it changed over time, his influences when writing workplace horror, perusing the aisles of Home Depot for potential melee weapons, and the joy of collaborating with Samir Samao, plus what else he has coming up. James is a fantastic member of the indie comics community so be sure to listen and click the link below to back Clean Up Crew.

41 min - Grant Stoye Interview - YULE vol. 2
Grant Stoye returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner and things get stilly fast. Grant is here to discuss the return of the Ringo-nominated anthology YULE. For volume 2, Grant has assembled some incredible creators to tell terrifying tales. From the Kickstarter page: "The award-nominated collection of short horror comics returns to examine Yule, Winter Solstice, Jacob Marley, and a slew of other terrifying folklore from around the world, from well-known tales of the Mouse King to the lesser-known Kukeri, and all the bizarre traditions in between." Grant and I discuss comics and crowdfunding, his hatred and my love of scrapple, and I make a riveting defense of pineapple on pizza. Plus I terrify Grant with tales of my favorite late night after a few beers sandwich!
