This week on Loading Snacks Weekly, Gage, Jokes, and the crew sit down with comic book artist Joe Jaro to talk about his brand-new Boom! Studios series Marian Heretic — a gothic horror comic already selling out before release.

Joe opens up about collaborating with writer Tini Howard (Catwoman, X-Men, Excalibur), drawing inspiration from 90s icons like Spawn and Castlevania, and what it’s like bringing a dark new heroine to life.

The team also covers this week’s biggest pop culture headlines — from the Xbox Game Pass $30 price hike and the Broccoli Fest x Boss Fights gaming activation to the upcoming Baltimore Comic Con and Extra Life 2024 charity event.

It’s a fun, nerd-filled hangout with laughs, insight, and inspiration — all in true Loading Snacks fashion.

🎮 In this episode:

• Joe Jaro breaks down the art and world of Marian Heretic

• How Boom! Studios is reviving 90s gothic horror

• Behind-the-scenes stories from Buffy to Boom

• Gaming talk: Xbox’s new subscription tiers explained
