Robots From Tomorrow!

With Multiversity Comics heading into the home stretch of its 40 Days of Supergirl celebration, Greg decided it would be neat to have a little Supergirl discussion in conjunction with that. But with Mike unavailable, Greg turned to friend of the show Paul Lai (from the excellent podcast The Paul List) to come on and give the episode his specific brand of considered and researched opinion.

The duo focus on the Maid of Steel's origins and the era in which she sprung from the Kryptonian rocket ship, but the conversation manages to touch on other parts of her career, from Crisis to DC Rebirth, and appearances in other media as well. All that and more awaits you in this week's episode!

For this 700th episode, the lads bring you something old AND something new!

Things kick off with Greg talking to Multiversity alum and current comics writer Chad Bowers about his mini-series Snake-Eyes: Dead Game, drawn by comics legend and world's most energetic human Rob Liefeld.

The conversation then expands to get Chad's take on the broader G.I. Joe franchise: do the cartoons still hold up? Does Larry Hama's original Real American Hero run deserve to be mentioned in the same conversations as Claremont's X-Men and Wolfman's New Teen Titans when discussing definitive long-term comics runs of the 1980's? Can the franchise survive without Duke (a scenario G.I. Joe: The Movie tried to bring about)? And speaking of the feature film, is the opening title scene the best intro of the 1980's OR the greatest three minutes and seven seconds ever committed to celluoid?

Following that is a flashback to January 4, 2017 and a conversation Mike had with Hellboy creator and someone mentioned in at least half the lads' conversations over the last 699 episode: Mike Mignola. The original post described the interview as "kicking off with a discussion on collaborating on such a huge canvas and continuing on into some very interesting places". 

So kick back, relax, and help Mike and Greg celebrate another milestone of funnybook talk by listening to this 700th episode of the show!

Charting Josh Dysart's career path in comics isn't easy. The writer has worked for a wide swath of publishers, from Dark Horse to Image to DC Comics to Vertigo to Valiant and points in-between, and gone where few other creators dare to tread, regardless of medium. Dysart has been all over the map, figuratively AND literally. So how do you pick just one topic to focus on when you get the chance to sit down with him? The answer to that question brings you today's episode: a chat that Greg had with Josh Dysart at this past weekend's Baltimore Comic Con.

People often say there is a single line between fantasy and reality. But in Farel Dalrymple's "The Wrenchies", there are just as many lines between different realities as there are on the pages themselves. Described by Multiversity Comics' own Matthew Meylikhov as a book "about how damn great and powerful comic books are", Dalrymple's graphic novel is one part post-apocalyptic children's adventure, one part existential adult apocalypse, one part semiautobio, one part love letter to four-color stories, and one part alchemical x-factor.

Each new reading brings as many questions as answers, but Mike and Greg take a stab at what Dalrymple is trying to say with Sherwood, Hollis, and the rest of the cast. Background is given, techniques are discussed, knowledge is dropped, and the unforgiving mistress that is watercolor is name-checked in this attempt to try and encapsulate what one of 2014's strongest OGN's means to its characters, its creator, and its audience.

In advance of Jack Kirby's 100th birthday next week, the lads talk about the King and try to take some stock of the body of work he left behind. How do you sum up the career of a man who combined blazing imagination with innate artistic ability and a determined work ethic for over five decades? Have the decades of Kirby clones and imitators made it harder for new fans to recognize the genius in Jack's work? What makes a successful interpretation of a Kirby property? All that and more on this week's episode!
