This week, Sean and Eric sit down with Eric Powell to discuss his latest comic book brawler, Hillbilly, a dive into the hills of Appalachia where a blind orphan battles conniving witches. The trio also discusses old Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, comic book politics and Powell's newly resurrected publishing line, Albatross Funnybooks.

In this episode of Sequential Heart, Delilah Dirk mastermind Tony Cliff sits down with Eric and Sean to discuss his graphic novel series and its titular protagonist—a 19th century noblewoman who swashbuckles through myriad international adventures. Recently optioned by Disney as their next live-action blockbuster film franchise, the comics float breathlessly with action and escapism, a rhythm built on Cliff's years as an animator. In this podcast, the cartoonist discusses his creation of Delilah, merging fiction and history and who he'd want to play his character in the upcoming movie.

This week, incoming Flash scribe Joshua Williamson speeds into conversation to discuss the themes he's carrying over from his creator-owned Image work like Birthright and Nailbiter. The new DC-exclusive scribe also chats about crafting a villain, Godspeed, to match the emotional and grisly antagonists he's become infamous for.

In this episode of Sequential Heart, Paste talks with comic book writer and United States' First Comic Book Ambassador Van Jensen. The writer recently made a trip to the country of Georgia to teach refugees the art of comic scripting and is also prepping the release of two new ambitious projects, the sci-fi opus Cryptocracy with artist Pete Woods and Two Dead with artist Nate Powell.

Cartoonist Noah Van Sciver made Paste's 2015 Best-of-the-Year List with the wrenching Fante Bukowski, a black comedy about one poet's perpetual booze-fueled journey away from relevance. Biting, hilarious and uncompromisingly human, the graphic novel dots a career lined with unflinching portraits of vulnerability and history. In the latest Sequential Heart, Van Sciver sits down with Eric and Sean to discuss his latest collection, Disquiet, the art of frailty and his plans for a Fante sequel, whose first pieces can be viewed on his Patreon.

This week, Sean and Eric take a dive into the nostalgia well as they sit down with veteran comic writer and illustrator Jeff Parker. The DC Comics scribe has worked on a long list of projects, but his most recent works—Flash Gordon, Batman '66, Convergence: Shazam—have tackled characters and settings culled from the '50s and '60s. That path culminates with Future Quest, Parker's new comic with frequent collaborator Evan "Doc" Shaner and industry legend Steve Rude that unites a host of Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, including Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Birdman and many more.

In this episode of Sequential Heart, Eric and Sean chat with Lucy Knisley, whose charming, autobiographical comics have charted the cartoonist's adoration of food and romance for more than a decade. Her latest graphic novel, Something New: Tales From a Makeshift Bride, invites readers into the emotional and organizational rollercoaster of committing yourself to another human being for the rest of your life. Also: watermelon jalapeño gazpacho.

Brian Azzarello, the voice behind 100 Bullets, Wonder Woman and Hellblazer, chats with us about his new intoxicating comics collaboration with 3 Floyds Brewing - Alpha King. Azzarello describes his creation of barbarians and monsters alongside co-writer Nick Floyd and artist Simon Bisley, while touching on his other heady new series with frequent collaborator Eduardo Risso, Moonshine.

Hosts Eric French and Sean Edgar kick of this brand new comic book podcast by chatting with Steve Orlando, the hard-hitting writer behind Virgil, Undertow, Midnighter and the upcoming Supergirl for DC Entertainment. Besides creating intoxicating yarns, Orlando also has a history of fine spirit and food expertise, which he spins into the cultures portrayed in each of his comics.
