Doughnuts and Top Cow

Blasting to the past, Josh and John take a look at Medeival Spawn and Witchblade #1 - the new mini-series crossover! We take a look at the art, some key story points, and our general advice about whether to pick this up!

Then Josh takes us through the latest Top Cow books solicited in the June Previews!

Doughnuts are Glazers from Kwik Trip in Madison.

We're back! And writer Zack Kaplan joins us to discuss the Top Cow series - Port of Earth. He talks about the characters and story development, very slightly teases the coming issues, and also touches on other projects in the pipeline.

No doughnuts this time, just comics!

Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman join us to talk Genius! This is an important work published by Top Cow that tackles some of the relaites of race relations, the income gap, the manipulation of political forces, and butt-kicking action.

We also talk about the creative process, from concept to execution. Oh. And some good doughnut conversation!

Josh and John go all over the place today!

First, they eat some doughnuts - Vanilla Old Fashioned - from KwikTrip while they bid a goodbye to PDQ.

Next, they dive into Dissonance issue 1 . . . should you buy it? Listen and make up your mind!

Then, they close out with a look at the 4 books being solicited for April 2018.

Writer and Top Cow Publishing COO Matt Hawkins joins us to talk about the state of the industry, upcoming projects, and the diverse catalog of Top Cow books!

Join us and get some great inside scoops about Cyber Force and more!

We're ringing in the New Year with a quick "touch-base," sharing what listeners are looking forward to the most!

We eat some apple fritters, talk about what 2018 has in store for us all, and Josh runs through the latest Previews - starting with Cyber Force #1, a true rebirth of the origin story.

Josh and John talk through Witchblade #1, due out in early December!  There's talk about the relaunch, how it is different from the Witchblade titles of the past, and how it's similar to some Witchblade books of the past.

There are mini-crullers this week, cooked up fresh by the charming elderly lady drawn on the bag of Grebes Bakery in West Allis, WI!

osh and John dive into doughnuts . . . Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free Katz Donuts, found in the health food freezer section of your grocery store. How were they? We'll tell you right away.

Then we dive into some Top Cow news, including a few details on who will be at NYCC and how to get some cool bookmarks!

Next Josh shares the Top Cow solicitaitons in the latest Previews - including Witchblade #1. Well, we have to have an extended discussion about the Witchblade, don't we?!?

Today we dive into the God Complex ashcan that was distributed at San Diego Comic Con this summer. We look at the toy line that inspired the upcoming comic series, and we offer our speculation about who Seneca really is!

We also talk a bit about the upcoming Wizard show in Madison and share a story about our brush with fame . . . seeing September Mourning perform live at Taste of Madison!

This time John and Josh dive into Genius . . . both the Vol. 1: Seige trade and the first issue of Siege: Cartel. These are both very important works in our current culture. And Josh surmises that the subject, unfortunatley, has been timely in several points of our country's history.

We kick it off with some unique and delicious doughnuts from Field Table in downtown Madison.
