Happy Black History Month folks. This episode I talk with Karama Horne better known as the The Blerd Girl. Recorded toward the end of last year we talk about a whole load of topics, from politics to comics to anime to being a creative professional. So much good talk in here it’s hard to summarize it all so give it a good listen.

Back in 2011 I made a podcast of me explaining what happened in DC Comics' Event Flashpoint before the New 52 started. Here is the old episode since the CW TV show just used Flashpoint for their season premiere.

The March trilogy relates the story of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement through the perspective of civil rights leader, Congressman John Lewis. Join co-author Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell as they complete their years-long journey of working with Rep. John Lewis to tell the powerfully moving story of his life dedicated to making change by enacting legislature and practicing non-violent protest. Moderated by comics critic Julian Lytle.

So last week I was at San Diego comic con and there while getting to meet people I haven’t known before I got to see old friends. A good thing while there is that I got get a couple of panels recorded. The first one of these is the Spotlight on Ronald Wimberly panel moderated by David Brothers. Both are the homies and been guests on this show. Check out the programing information below.

“For the past 14 years, Ronald Wimberly has been telling stories that pair his world view with his strong storytelling instincts, resulting in works like the Eisner Award-nominated Lighten Up and The Prince of Cats, his collaborations with brands like Nike and Mishka, and even designing for animation like Black Dynamite. Wimberly will share his perspective on designing stories, agitprop and the politics of aesthetics, culture and appropriation, the importance of iconoclasm and why he suspects he'll never work for Marvel or DC again. Moderated by David Brothers.”
