Comics'N'Poptarts

Welcome back, folks! Heyyyyyy!!! That's right, tonight was a surprise release episode so that we could get Russell on the show from his travels to WonderCon and abroad and beyond! In a million years, I would have never thought we would have gotten so much insight into branding and marketing, even in the art of collaboration on anthologies, but I'm so glad we did. If you're a fan of comics, writing, anthologies, branding, or just a Lovecraftian nerd, please take a deep dive into this rewarding episode as the well-rounded, insightful sage of literary success shares his experiences working with a huge team of creators and so much more. 

Three love letters to Lovecraft. The complete comic anthology trilogy with 107 total stories about Lovecraftian gods and monsters.

If you'd like to know more about what's inside Cthulhu is Hard to Spell then listen to this episode.

Did you want a free digital comic? Guess what easter egg in Moonknight gives you a QR code to a digital version of Werewolf By Night #32, the FIRST appearance of Moonknight. I give a few thoughts about Batman, push back the Guardians of Justice review, again. I bring to your attention that science has finally unlocked the Human Genome or "at least has a handle on it," that's what they'd like us to think. Let's talk about it and sound political without being too political but enough to acknowledge that things have to be just the right amount of political to be entertaining-- unless everything is political, fuck made "political" a word anyway? It's just a fancy word for "we talk about opinions as a group." LMAO!!!

Welcome back to the breakfast food podcast that isn't about breakfast, but is fresh enough to serve you every Friday! We're talking about accountability tonight and how what you write has consequences. This can get pretty uncomfortable if you're not open to asking yourself if what you're doing can be considered mistaken, wrong, or questioning the impactfulness of what you're creating. I use my own project as an example, but it's not all thought-provoking, because I suck the entertainment value of the Reacher Season One in a fandom review, and then I give praise to Chadwick Bosmens 21 Bridges. I hope you enjoy the SOLO, sorry about NO Guests this week, but coming soon are some very interesting creators with lots of voice and lots of reach. I hope they will touch your heart and minds as I do for you guys. We're coming up on a year for the podcast so keep listening and ride out the anniversary as the channel changes and transforms to the great it can be. Stay fresh my Tart-tarians!!!

Have you ever gone to the DMV, and came out learning something new that makes you want to 'murdalize' a box of kittens that said, "Box of Kittens," because you didn't see how cute they were to stop you from questioning your emotionally unchallenged rage; but, it was the closest thing to you to release your unchecked molten attitude on a world that use to make sense, but after your appointment in said motor vehicle department, the world felt alien? As jaded as I was, I managed to squeeze out an essential topic into tonight's podcast that will be useful for all of you guys to know in the creative field. I use examples from fantasy pop culture to help facilitate reliability and relevance. Enjoy!

Here are some tools to help you overcome and inspire positivity to enhance your flow!

Hello from the kitchen where I keep all of my Pop-tarts, do you? We should have asked Jon Westhoff this week on this episode of C&P, but instead, we talked about his new book Drumsticks of Doom, thriving on Kickstarter (Archived). Jon is an accomplished musician and writer who stumbled onto the comic scene oh so long ago. He's a civil servant and social worker by day. And by night, he's a father/comic professional who lives his life one day at a time. I hope you enjoy the Ooee-gooey center of this tarty-tart episode. Big things coming soon so stay tuned!

DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT COMICS?

The Adventures of Obidiah Oldbuck is THE first comic book in the United States, which was also the first-ever hardback-sold comic, hitting the market in 1842, over 180 years ago, WOW!

Hello, from the Pop-tart Home Office, run by ME, your host Limitless Mike. Welcome back to the show; thank you for returning. Thank you for being loyal listeners. I'm thankful for being able to appreciate all of my listeners from all SEVEN COUNTRIES that are tuning in. Today's show begins with a bit of a rant because of shifting circumstances that have affected me at work. I tie my politically bitter opinion of the countries labor issues back into comics because of recent supply chain shortages. Our most important topic is my review and critical overview of Sword Art Online, more specifically, about how much I love the newly released SAO Alitization: War of the Underworld. I also make references to Ready Player One and Ready Player Two as it applies to my opinions and remarks on the evocative topic of Virtual Reality and how technology will affect our reality thanks to more conscious understandings of our own grand design.
