This week the second volume of Sarah Davidson‘s charming, fun, and educational graphic novel series Jackson’s Wilder Adventures debuts! Jackson’s Wilder Adventures is a series that helps young children look at what may sometimes be an intimidating world through the eyes of the animal kingdom. Sarah helps kids cope with things like not wanting to eat different foods or losing their first tooth by having her protagonists (a young boy named Jackson and his imaginary Tasmanian Tiger friend Irwin) look at the behaviors of critters in the wild and see how they deal with the same problems. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian chats with Sarah about what inspired her to make a comic about creatures in the wild, her unique artistic process, and how a fateful car accident during her honeymoon changed the course of her life!

This week writer Joe Corallo returns to the podcast! In June the Maverick imprint of Mad Cave Studios will be printing the second volume of Corallo’s adaptation of the nineties Saturday morning cartoon King Arthur and the Knights of Justice! This new chapter of the story reads almost like a Wrath of Khan entry in the Knights of Justice universe in that Joe has taken everything that’s come before and added a new spin on it, opening up old characters to refreshing new narratives. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian sits down with Joe to chat about what it was like coming back to KAATKOJ and how the success of the first volume gave him more freedom to play with an already established tv mythology and mix things up a bit.

Just when you thought it was over…we’re back with more Damn Dirty Apes episodes! When the producer of the original Planet of the Apes film series passed away, his production company sold the rights to 20th Century Fox Studios. Stuck with the rights to a film franchise that had diminishing returns, 20th Century Fox decided that the next logical step was to take the apes to the small screen. In 1974, The Planet of the Apes television show debuted in September, failed to find an audience, and ended up being cancelled by December. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast Kristian chats with Joe Slepski (of the Joe on Joe Podcast) and PTF regular Yvis Cannavale about the first three episodes of the POTA TV show. They discuss why the show might not have caught on with viewers, whether this new series is set in a completely new continuity from the films, and what could have possibly made the show a better watch.

Note: On this episode, Kristian had to use an alternate Microphone so the quality of his recording is a bit different this week than usual.

Adam Rose is a comic book writer with a flair for original ideas. In his book, Huge Detective (published by Titan Comics) giants awaken from an age old sleep and go to war with normal sized humans. In the aftermath of the conflict, the giants (called “The Huge”) and humans come to a detente and a Huge and a Human must come together to solve a murder in which a normal sized serial killer believes himself to be a giant.

In his other comic, Corollary (from Source Point Press), a sci-fi universe exists where everyone and everything comes in pairs. People are all born as twins and if your twin dies, so do you. In Corollary a woman survives her twin’s death and the whole universe wants to know…how did she do it?

On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian sits down with Adam to chat about his two comic books and how he comes up with such original ideas. They chat about how Adam’s love for Marvel and DC Comics inspired some of the ideas in his book, how he worked with the artists behind the books (Magenta King and Robert Ahmad), and how he got Paul Pope to do one of the covers of Huge Detective!

Andy Nardvall is a writer who’s worked in everything from screenwriting, to podcasts, to web and physical comics. This month he has an anthology book launching on Kickstarter called Bad Future. Bad Future contains stories of, well, bad futures. Moments in the near future which are dystopian in their nature. Inspired by works like Blade Runner, Bad Future features various creators looking at the world that may be coming through a somewhat pessimistic lens. One of the creators Andy tapped for his anthology is Ben Crane (creator of the all ages comic Cosmic Cadets). On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian chats with Andy and Ben about making a comic book anthology in a present that isn’t necessarily the most optimistic of times about possible futures that could be worse than where we are now.
