What's it like to put on a comic convention? Ask today's guest, Mitch Hallock, who has almost single-handedly grown TerrifiCon into Connecticut's largest comic book convention! How does he find guests? What's changed over the years? How does the show keep focused on comics and defend against turning into a pop culture free-for-all? All will be revealed by this modern ringmaster!

TerrifiCon takes place July 29 - 31, 2022 at Mohegan Sun in CT: terrificon.com. You can follow Mitch on Instagram @mitchhallock_kingofthenerds.

Yes, that Aaron Lopresti! The artist behind Malibu's Ultraverse's Sludge joins the Bandits for a retrospective of his impressive comic book career. From X-Men, Captain Marvel, and Planet Hulk at Marvel to Wonder Woman, Justice League: Generation Lost, and New 52: Futures End at DC, this guy has put in the work at the big two. And now, he's striking out on his own with his Indiegogo-funded passion project, Wraith of God, which is about to be published!

You can follow Aaron at his website, aaronlopresti.com, or on Twitter and Instagram at @aaronlopresti. And go order Wraith of God on Indiegogo!

Presenting, among other things, the 10th Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics: Mr. Tom DeFalco! Tom has done basically everything in comics, from shepherding Hasbro-licensed comics G.I. Joe and Transformers into existence, to writing and editing all manner of Spider-Man projects, to co-creating characters like Spider-Girl, Silver Sable, and Thunderstrike. We're already exhausted, and we haven't even talked about his time as Marvel's big cheese from the late 80s to early 90s! But we do in the episode, so give it a spin and all will be revealed.

What are friends for? Why, co-writing comics of course! Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn (or Gary Cohn and Dan Mishkin if you like) are the dynamic duo behind big chunk of DC's 1980s output. They may be best known for creating the characters Amethyst (Princess of Gemworld) and Blue Devil. But after this episode, they'll be known for getting grilled by our own Bandit Oren in a 2-on-1 interview for the ages!

Probably best known for his work with Mark Waid on Captain America, Ron Garney couldn't be more different than the star spangled Sentinel of Liberty. He's a certified badass that had to wake up the day after our interview for some 5:00 Jujutsu. Maybe that's why his Hulk and Wolverine were among the most savage ever drawn. And perhaps that's why he was hand-chosen by Keanu Reeves to draw his first comic, BRZRKR. Ron even did some costume design illustration for major feature films like I Am Legend and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The man's legit... and worth a listen.

You can follow Ron on Instagram here, on Twitter here and Facebook here.

Here's a fun one for all you 90s kids! The Bandits welcome Adam and Michael from Wizards: The Podcast Guide to Comics for a convening of our favorite gimmick covers of all time. Witness as we attempt to organize the proceedings into four rounds: Die-Cut, Polybagged, Foil/Chrome, and Wild Card! Marvel as these covers unfold, pop up, are obscured by thick promotional copy, and blind you with their extreme shinyness! Laugh at the sheer absurdity of the increasingly desperate attempts to extend the speculator boom of the early 90s! 

Check out Wizards: The Podcast Guide to Comics wherever you get podcasts, and follow them on wizardscomics.com, Twitter, and Instagram.

This episode is more graphic (in a visual way, not a dirty way) than most, so we suggest you watch this one on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.

The guy started as an unpaid college intern in 1989. Now, more than 30 years later, he's Senior Vice President of Publishing at Marvel. That's right, we're talking to Marvel's longest running editor, fount of comic book knowledge and history, and all-around swell guy, Tom Brevoort. During his decades-long career, Tom has overseen books for nearly all of Marvel's catalog of characters, as well as famous storylines like New Avengers and Civil War. What we're trying to say is that Tom Brevoort knows a lot, and Tom Brevoort's done a lot. And so we talk to him... a lot.

You can follow Tom on Twitter @TomBrevoort and on his blog: tombrevoort.com.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for a Hembeck of a good time? Well, that's what you're getting with this podcast-only episode of DBB. Master of superhero parody and curlicue joints, Fred Hembeck sits down with the Bandits to discuss his seriously funny career. You probably know Fred from his cartoons in Marvel Age, but he's worked across the industry, including First Comics, Fantagraphics, and Archie Comics. We get into it all, and don't worry: Brother Voodoo was not harmed during the making of this episode.

You can follow Fred on his site, Hembeck.com.

Superman's #1 fan is back in Bandit Town! That's right, Mark Waid returns for more interrogation, this time without that pesky half-hour time limit. We get deeper into Flash (specifically the Speed Force and his supporting cast of speedsters), Kingdom Come, the 52 weekly series, and Mark's remembrances of his late friend and collaborator, Brian Augustyn. Finally, we dive into the world of Irredeemable and Incorruptible, taking on both the comic series and the upcoming Netflix adaptation. It's a smorgasbord of super that you don't want to miss!

You should really be reading World's Finest, the new ongoing Superman/Batman title by Mark and Dan Mora. You should also pick up the recently released Makhno: Ukrainian Freedom Fighter from Humanoids’ Life Drawn imprint. A portion of the proceeds are donated directly to Ukrainian relief efforts through RAZOM (razomforukraine.org).

As always, you can follow Mark on Twitter @MarkWaid and his website, markwaid.com.

In this roundup edition of Bandit Bits, Bandits Joe and Mike take a trip around the comics world, starting with a look at ComiXology's recent update. Then we move on to the various adaptations hitting the screens this spring. Is Daredevil's integration into the MCU a good thing? Is Marvel at the tipping point with its multiverse building movies? How dark is too dark for The Batman? We also dive into some of our favorite creators via their March birthdays and finish it off with a discussion of Mark Waid's and Alex Ross' seminal Kingdom Come series.
