I celebrate a newly met creator Mark Bernal behind Lesser Known Comics tonight. We discuss key business decisions behind LKC's "No Amazon" clause, favoring their local comic shops over digital e-commerce marketing. FASCINATING! Mark humbles us with his views and outlooks on what it is to be an independent comic creator and how the industry is shaping for the future, as far as what's been available to allow indie creators to compete with large publisher-based comic labels. We also discuss their new FULLY FUNDED Batch #4 comics campaign featuring several stories titled: Tank McGreggor, Deathwish, and Goodnight. To check out the campaign, click here.

Tonight I sit down with the talented and humble creator, writer, and CEO of Omen Comics to discuss the business side of comics, covering some of the critical things needed to institute a comics business. Much team building goes into comics, and Michael reveals a few secrets for us here tonight that many ambitious young comics creators need to hear on their journeys. It was a pleasure to speak with Michael tonight, and I hope you enjoyed our conversation. I hope you stop over to his e-front store in the links below and check out some of his books. THEY'RE GREAT!

Tonight, Poptart-N@tion we are visited by the studious and fantasy-enthralling Williams Brower, a former Full Sail graduate, who's come to tell us of a mystical land counseled by dragons known as Mysidia! Williams was poised enough to share his journey on the road to representation with KMP Entertainment, some writing secrets, and the importance of deadlines. We agreed to save a Titanic conversation for later, but we happen to burst a popular Titanic conspiracy theory wide open before abruptly ending our bedazzling adventure.

Tonight I sit down with Sam Rocco, a master's graduate in film production with an emphasis on directing. The topic of discussion is Sam's journey to becoming the director of his new film, The Vampire Machine, which I personally pledged to on Kickstarter last month. Among other topics on film, we discussed the perspective of filmmaking and how realistic your choices must be when writing a script. We also talk a lot about Marvel stuff, a little Batman, and even a few stories. Tonight I announced that my book Wild Oni will be done by the creative team at Q-Logic Entertainment.

If you missed the Kickstarter, don't worry Vampire Machine is going strong on IndieGoGo (Archived)

Tonight I sit down with Michael Tanner, co-creator of Junior Braves of the Apocalypses & Orcs in Space, among other works & Don Nguyen, a veteran artist known for many things, but Pablo the Gorilla comes to mind & he's done a lot of Marvel's Trading Cards. The subject of discussion is the ongoing Kickstarter campaign success of Michael's new comic mini-series Battle Grapple: Rebel, a pro-wrestling space epic that follows the character of Spin, who struggles in all facets of his life, working hard to rise above the sweaty gym ring he performs to wrestle amongst legends in the largest promotion in the galaxy. We have an ass-kicking good time chopping it up about the good ole days of pro wrestling and how genuine the pages of Battle Grapple emulated the real-life dangers and athleticism of wrestling itself. So don't be a jabroni and listen to this awesome episode!

Tonight I sit down with Anthony Stokes a former screenwriter turned comics author. We talk briefly about his new series Decay a powerful sibling adventure that sees a tragedy turned to an unnatural disparity. More importantly, we talk shop about the Comic-Con Rival and the politics and marketing obstacles creators face preparing for one and during one, including how to think about the inventory of your book in a way that sells them. 

[Sorry everyone for any whining or crying you hear toward the end of this episode. I'll be doing a back scrub on this in a few weeks.]
