Hard Agree

Andrew Sumner welcomes actor & author Evangeline Lilly (Lost, The Hobbit, Ant-Man and The Wasp, South of Heaven) back to Hard Agree for the fourth episode of her seven-part podcast mini-series: Evangeline Lilly’s Library of the Soul. 

In this instalment, The Red Tent, Evangeline & Andrew discuss Evangeline’s third book selection – The Red Tent by Anita Diamant - and the circumstances Evangeline found herself in when she first encountered Diamant’s work.

As usual, their conversation takes place across a significant divide: Evangeline is a passionate spiritualist and believer - and Andrew is a passionate agnostic and skeptic. Evangeline’s sanctuaries are churches, temples and the forest, while Andrew’s are comic books, movies and jazz.

Where, exactly, this conversation will lead is what these seven episodes are all about.

Welcome to the Library of the Soul.

Evangeline would love to hear your thoughts and reactions via her Instagram feed.

In this special Yuletide charity edition of Hard Agree, Andrew Sumner is joined by four very special guests from the worlds of comics, movies, TV and theatre: actor author & MCU movie star Evangeline Lilly (Lost, The Hobbit, Ant-Man and The Wasp), comic creator Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Kingsman, The Originals), TV wine expert/author Olly Smith (BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, Olly Smith’s Home Cocktail Bible) and West End stage actress Julie Stark (Company, Les Misérables, We Will Rock You). A Hard Agree Christmas Carol is the Christmas 2021 edition of Hard Agree’s annual yuletide charity podcast and features Sumner and his guests performing Charles Dickens’ live version of his Yuletide classic A Christmas Carol (in support of the Binc Foundation’s vital comic book industry work). As Sumner says: “We’re coming to the end of another wildly-turbulent & damaging pandemic year, during which the comics industry’s all-important network of individually-owned comic book stores – the temples of pop culture in which we all worship – have remained hard hit & struggling to survive. With the Comic Book United Fund, the Binc Foundation have dedicated themselves to helping comic store employees/owners who have unforeseen emergency financial needs – and so we thought ‘what better way to underline & amplify the Binc Foundation’s mission than to return to the words of Charles Dickens himself, the great believer in human society pulling together?’”

Sumner is joined on this week’s Hard Agree for a wide-ranging comics-heavy conversation with one of his all-time favorite comic book editors: artist, writer & thirteen-year Marvel Comics veteran Carl Potts. Carl joined Marvel in 1983 and, in addition to co-creating Alien Legion, he oversaw the reinvention & redevelopment of The Punisher (transforming Frank Castle from an occasional Spider-Man/Daredevil supporting player into one of the two most popular Marvel characters not created by Kirby, Ditko or Lee) and served as the executive editor/editor-in-chief of Marvel’s high-quality Epic Comics imprint from 1989. Throughout those years, Carl worked alongside many legendary comics creators, from Al Milgrom and Neal Adams to Jim Starlin, Jim Lee and the peerless Steve Ditko. Sumner and Carl talk about all of this at length before discussing Carl’s latest creative project: two beautiful volumes of Pacific Theater graphic novels that he’s creating with artist Bill Reinhold - The Flying Column and Guests of the Emperor - inspired by Carl’s family’s unique experiences during WWII.

Whenever Sumner gets asked “who’s the most talented person you’ve ever worked with?” there’s only one answer: “Rob Biddulph.” Back when they worked together in the magazine biz, Rob was an innovative, multi-award-winning art director (responsible for zeitgeist-defining titles like SKY and the NME before his storied run on the Observer Magazine). Now Rob’s an innovative, multi-award-winning and wildly-successful children’s author/illustrator and no-one could deserve that success more. Because, as you’ll hear in this week’s edition of Hard Agree, Rob Biddulph isn’t just an amazing talent, he’s a genuinely nice guy who truly believes in community - the architect of the immensely popular #DrawWithRob, a series of twice-weekly draw-along videos designed to help parents whose children were forced to stay home from school due to the coronavirus pandemic - now used as a learning resource by thousands of families across the globe.

Sumner welcomes his old friend Mark Askwith to this week’s Hard Agree. Mark’s done itall and interviewed everyone in the pop culture sphere over the last thirty years. After starting out in the late 80s publishing scene (like Sumner himself - but 3,000 miles further west, in Toronto), Mark managed the hugely-influential Silver Snail comic book store in Ontario, before co-writing the comic book sequel to The Prisoner TV show - Shattered Visage - with Dean Motter in 1988. The next year, Mark became a full time TV producer and writer, co-creating and launching the long running Canadian pop culture show Prisoners of Gravity, before spending 20 years as one of the founding producers of Space, Canada’s equivalent to the Sci-Fi Channel. Over those two decades, Mark got to meet, befriend and hang out with some of global popular culture’s most influential creators – and he’s here to tell Sumner all about it (in between lengthy bouts of celebrating their mutual pop culture obsessions).

Sumner welcomes comics writer/illustrator John K Snyder III to this week’s Hard Agree. Possessed of a unique style that’s both ethereal and hyper-real, that lends itself to hardboiled noir and fantasy, John has spent 35 years super-delivering in both genres (and sometimes jamming them both together). Sumner & Snyder spend a couple of hours walking through John’s storied career, beginning with Fashion in Action and Matt Wagner’s Grendel and moving on to DC Comics’ Mr. E and Doctor Mid-Nite (again with Wagner) before discussing Snyder’s collaboration with John Ostrander on James Gunn’s favourite DC book, Suicide Squad. They close out with a deep-dive into the creation of one of Sumner’s favourite graphic novels, John’s critically-acclaimed adaptation of the great Lawrence Block’s classic Matt Scudder adventure Eight Million Ways to Die.
