Joel Rodriguez, creator of Dusk County Chronicles and the founder and CEO of Metal Ninja Studios, returns this week in Episode #706 to talk about their new “Concept to Comic” process that helps turn powerful written stories into stunning comics.

Metal Ninja Studios (MNS) is a trailblazing full-service comic book production studio that was founded in 2019 by Ringo-Award-Nominated designer Joel Rodriguez. Joel has contributed to over 70 successful crowdfunding for comic books campaigns, leveraging his expertise in professional comic book writing, comic book lettering services, and comprehensive comic book project management. Here’s part of the Metal Ninja Creed: “We prioritize quality over quantity in all we create, ensuring each project is crafted with precision and passion. We believe in service over sales, putting our clients and their visions at the forefront of everything we do, as we strive to leave a lasting impact on the world of comics.” Joel and I discuss what Metal Ninja Studios is up to these days, including the “Concept to Comic” process, how the team adapts and assembles to meet their clients’ needs, and what we might see from them in the coming months! You’ll enjoy this excellent conversation about comics and the industry’s future with Joel, so don’t miss it!

Starting off the hotness were two titles from Thunderworks Games

Fliptoons and Citizens of the Spark are two titles I saw being bought a ton and being played a bunch at tables around the con. Both lighter games and both very easy to play and learn.

Another big hotnesses I saw at the show was Cip Theory’s The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era with a new Crowdfunding coming before end of the year.

Reported to be in the new campaign--a reprint and two new areas, two new classes,some other things to add to game play,and  an all in one storage solution.

I am always a sucker for Gloomhaven as we all know, At their booth they unveiled the new Mercenary packs they will be releasing

Hail, Irritable Enchanter; Anaphi, Fallen Lion; Satha, Mayor of Frosthaven; and Cassandra, Forgotten Diviner (From Forgotten Circles)

All are now available on their site for $20 each

Next up a game I played and liked and got some buzz was Koi by DV games. (`$45)

I mentioned both of these in the past but I got to see more about UVS games upcoming TMNT Set and the big thing which was all the rage but not for sale just yet was more unveiling of info and cards for Riftbound the LoL CCG

Speaking of CCG, Upper Deck was showing off their new CCG as well called Rush of Ikorr, which seems to be a familiar CCG system but incorporating transparencies kinda like games like Mystic Vale to change things up in the decks

CD Project RED unveiled The Witcher Legacy, listed on BGG as a 2027 release, which will be hitting Gamefound soon (more in the future once it’s up)

Catalyst Game Labs, partnering with Crunchyroll will put out My Hero Academia Miniatures Game (Coming soon to KS)

All miniatures will come preassembled and with a high quality pre-paint: a great premium collectible for easy, right-out-of-the-box plays.

Ascendancy Underworld

Beasts and Diplomacy

Flip Voyage + Fliptown New Frontier

Land Vs Sea Uncharted Plus Meeples
