Yes, another Sherlock Holmes book! The longtime EIC of Tripwire, Joel Meadows, joins the Bandits to talk about the second volume of his Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders story. You may know Joel as a journalist, who's written extensively about comics, film, and genre narratives throughout the UK. He's written two books about comics: Studio Space (as co-author) about where and how 20 of the world's best comic artists work, and Masters of Comics, which covered more comic artists and their workspaces. Part II of The Gene Genie finds Holmes at his lowest ebb, having lost his closest friend and confidante to prime minister Oswald Mosley’s thugs.

The Gene Genie Kickstarter has ended, but you can still late-pledge for both volumes of the story at http://kck.st/4foyZko. And you can follow Joel on X @joelmeadows1 and on Instagram @tripwiremag.

Writer Charles Soule and artist Ryan Browne are a dynamic duo. Having already teamed up on Curse Words and Eight Billion Genies (both with Image), the pair is back with another crazy fantasy title, this one called The Lucky Devils. It's "a tale of two rebellious demons who decide to start a revolution in Hell—and the two ordinary, 20-something humans they're going to manipulate to do it." And the first issue (out last week) features a variant cover by none other than Frank Miller!

Get the whole scoop on this episode, then follow Charles on his website charlessoule.com or Instagram @Charyan lesSoule and Ryan on Instagram @ryanbrowneart.

You probably know Adam Hughes from his fun and sexy covers that adorn comics nearly every month. But did you know he's spent nearly 40 years in the industry, working with virtually all major and indie publishers? Adam's first regular gig was on Mike Barr's Maze Agency from Comico. He then did a short run on Justice League America (with a continued cover run) before moving to Atlanta to join Gaijin Studios with artists like Brian Stelfreeze, Cully Hamner, Dave Johnson, and Tony Harris. He redesigned and reintroduced Ghost for Dark Horse's Comics Greatest World initiative. Adam went on to write and illustrate the Gen13: Ordinary Heroes miniseries for Wilstorm, before starting his famous cover run on Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider, and later, Catwoman. Some of his most recent interior work includes Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan and Betty and Veronica for Archie Comics.

We're getting into the holiday spirit by welcoming Rankin/Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt onto the show! Rick has a background in illustration and cartooning, with magazine illustrations, editorial cartoons, and caricatures among his early assignments. He labored for years to bring to life a coffee table book chronicling all of Rankin/Bass' specials, films, and TV series, which was finally published as The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass in 1997. Rick has many stories to tell about our favorite cartoons, including the holiday classics Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.

You can follow Rick on Facebook and Instagram @rickgoldschmidt.

Whitney Matheson isn't our typical guest. While she does make daily comics, she writes in so many different formats, it's hard to keep track! Whitney's perhaps best known as the creative force behind Pop Candy, the pop culture column/blog that she wrote for over a decade at USA Today. But since then, she's branched out into writing for short films, theater, newsletters, comics, kids' books, and more! Whitney shares a studio with Dean Haspiel in Brooklyn, and just recently published her short story collection, Trudy Sellout, as well as her collection of 2024 diary comics. 

You can follow her and her work in so many places: on whitneymatheson.com, on Patreon @whitneymatheson, on Substack whitneymatheson.substack.com, on Instagram @thewhitneymatheson and X @whitneymatheson.
