Comic Crusaders Podcast

On the latest episode of the Comic Crusaders Podcast, Al Mega brings BIG WEPA energy to an electrifying conversation with creator and writer Jeff Marvin, known for Cycles End and Grave Soldiers: Crutch Brigade. This time, Jeff returns with a new project from Golem Press—Hunters of Sheydim, a dark fantasy comic steeped in ancient lore, monstrous entities, and gritty world-building.

Marvin dives into the origins of the project, exploring the mythology behind the Sheydim and the brutal world his hunters must survive. The interview explores Jeff's creative evolution, his influences, and why Hunters of Sheydim stands apart from his previous work.

With stunning art, deep character arcs, and a world teeming with danger, the comic promises a cinematic experience for dark fantasy fans. This Kickstarter project is shaping up to be one of the must-back indie titles of 2025.

Back the project, support indie creators, and join the hunt. The Sheydim await.

Korean-American writer and creator T.Y. Lee joined Al Mega on the Comic Crusaders Podcast for a fast-paced, high-energy conversation about his new graphic novel, Return of the Rooftop Koreans. The 140-page book, which successfully funded on Kickstarter, blends action, cultural identity, and humor into a bold and refreshing narrative.

During the interview, Lee discussed his creative influences, the cultural significance behind the Rooftop Koreans mythos, and the personal experiences that shaped the project. Known for his unique sense of humor from dressing as a werewolf to collecting unpaid parking tickets, Lee brings the same comedic edge and originality to his storytelling.

Readers can expect sharp writing, dynamic visuals, and a strong exploration of Korean-American themes. Return of the Rooftop Koreans stands as one of the most exciting indie graphic novels of the year.

He Lost His Keys in Space is the newest dark-humor sci-fi graphic novel making waves across the indie comic scene, and Comic Crusaders sat down with creators Luke Milton and Lizzy Lang to dig into how this hilarious cosmic adventure came to life.

Published by Black Panel Press, the book follows a hapless protagonist who manages to lose his keys… somewhere in the universe. What starts as a ridiculous premise quickly unfolds into sharp satire, emotional beats, surreal world-building, and visuals that balance gritty sci-fi with absurd humor.

During the interview, Luke and Lizzy discuss their creative partnership, their career beginnings, and what drew them toward a project filled with cosmic chaos. Lizzy shares her experience as a debut graphic novelist, while Luke breaks down the artistic inspirations and visual storytelling behind the book.

The duo also highlight the challenges of timing comedy in comic panels, how satire helps them explore modern society, and which scenes pushed them creatively the most.

For fans of smart humor, unique sci-fi worlds, and indie comics doing something different, He Lost His Keys in Space is a must-read.
