David Pepose has had an amazing year since our last talk. He's back to fill us in on getting his dream project (Captain Planet), a new Space Ghost series, and his electrifying approach to Speed Racer.

A former crime reporter turned Ringo Award-winning comic book creator, David Pepose has written on hit titles such as Punisher, Moon Knight: City of the Dead, Savage Avengers, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Avengers Unlimited, and Darth Vader: Black, White & Red, as well as launched critically acclaimed original series including Spencer & Locke, Going to the Chapel, Grand Theft Astro, The O.Z., Scout’s Honor, The Devil That Wears My Face, and more.

David’s books have been featured in The Hollywood Reporter, ComicBook.com, and io9, and have ranked on Barnes & Noble’s Best Comics and Graphic Novels list. His writing has been called “stunningly subversive” by IGN and “an absurdly good time” by Nerdist, while Syfy has described his work as “utterly insane or pure genius (or admittedly, maybe both).”

In addition to developing properties for comics, TV, and film, he has also worked for CBS, Netflix, and Universal Studios. Raised in St. Louis, David currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, where he lives with his understanding partner, their rambunctious terrier, and at least six deadlines.

Curt Pires stops by to tell us about his latest work, LOST FANTASY. In Lost Fantasy, there’s a magical world that lies beneath ours, and first contact was made over a hundred years ago between the two worlds due to a natural disaster, resulting in a schism that allowed monsters to break through. Since then, secret monster slayers, known as The Great Hunters, have been working with global leaders to police the border and to keep our world safe from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But last night, something broke through, resulting in a mysterious mass killing in Montana, and causing things to shift in a way that will ripple through both worlds. Now it’s up to rookie monster hunter Henry Blackheart to stop it…

Last fall, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Karla Medrano. By trade, Karla is a Nurse who spends her days and nights saving lives. But she's passionate about many things, including creative storytelling. After seeing the Black Panther film in 2018, Karla decided she had to stop keeping her creativity on the backburner and throw her hat into the ring. Thus, Luna: The Queen of Mahru was born.

Since the breakout success of Luna, Karla has made it a constant practice to do all the things she feels called to. Together with Dr. Ebony Toussaint, she hosts the Ororo Comics Podcast, the show where health meets culture and culture meets comics. Last year, she headed up Digital Marketing efforts for the Epiphany Engine Kickstarter, earning her the title "Misty Knight of Marketing" from previous guest Joseph Illidge. She later packaged her knowledge and experience for a Comic Book Marketing course for creators.

Check out this interview, finally being released from the vault, and be sure to follow Karla on Instagram to keep up with her day to day!
