As I get ready to launch a new era of SuperPowerCast in April, it is time to flashback to the very first episode of SuperPowerCast. On that episode, I sat down and talked to Joe Martino, the creator of Mighty Titan and Shadowflame. Mighty Titan was on Kickstarter at the time and Joe and I had a long chat about the nature and challenge of modern comics.

Nearly two years later and Mighty Titan is in the Previews catalog, available for all comic fans.

Original text:

For our inauguaral episode, host Nicholas Ahlhelm and cohost Caine Dorr are joined by Joe Martino, comic book writer/artist of such titles as Shadowflame and Ripperman. Joe has a new project on Kickstarter called The Mighty Titan. He discusses the Kickstarter project, his career in comics and more in a great sitdown interview. Joe even brings in project colorist Keith J. Betancourt to share a few of his thoughts on the project.

With only two weeks to go on the Kickstarter, Joe tells us all why Mighty Titan is a project to support.

Over a year ago, I sat down with N. Steven Harris to talk about his project Ajala, then running on IndieGoGo. The book sadly did not find even close to its funding on the site, but Steven and the book's writer Robert Garrett have not gave up on the character. In fact, they have started to release the first issue as part of Black Comix Creators Month at Facebook. So to celebrate that and to look back at a stunning series, here is my original interview with him from October 2012. Ajala at FacebookAjala Direct PurchaseAjala & The Fringe at IndyPlanetAjala digitalN.
