The ComicsXF Interview Podcast

We catch up with our friends Justin and Penelope Daniels from Farpoint Toys & Collectibles in New Jersey to talk about shutting down for COVID-19, filming themselves for an Amazon documentary, nearly losing their comic and toy shop to a devastating electrical fire, getting nominated for a retail Eisner, again, and why longtime "G.I. Joe" writer Larry Hama is a Real American Hero.

Artist Sanford Greene joins Dan and Matt to talk about his Eisner-nominated Image Comics series "Bitter Root," looking for content during a pandemic, his sweet studio spinner rack and more.

We return to our occasional look at the world of all-ages comics with a discussion of Jeremy Whitley and company's multi-volume series "Princeless," about a princess who rescues herself from a tower and proceeds to free her sisters from from similar imprisonments. Joining us this week to talk about it is Rick Heinichen from the podcast Jeff and Rick Present Unpacking the Power of Power Pack, and his daughter, Carrie.

Crank up the AC and fill the bathtub with ice cubes. We're chilling out this week on WMQ&A with a look at three cool cartoons (and one comic) featuring seminal Batman villain Mr. Freeze, featuring guest Dan McMahon.

The Three Amigos (Dan Grote, Matthew Lazorwitz and Rob Lynch) reunite and welcome guest Scott Modrzynski - art director of a fan-made X-Men trading card set called the ColleXion - to talk about their favorite trading card sets from over the years, and open some oddball gems from Dan's collection.

This week, we talk with artist and colorist Jacob Phillips about his upcoming Image series "That Texas Blood," working with his father, Sean Phillips, and his favorite episodes of "Parks & Recreation."

This week our guest is Mike Broder, CEO of GalaxyCon, which, in the face of this year’s litany of coronavirus con cancellations, has been taking his show on the digital road, offering livestreams with celebrities, creators, voice actors and more, as well as online fan experiences much like you’d find at a physical convention. What kind of work goes into creating a virtual con, and what is the status of his upcoming physical shows? Find out over the course of the next hour.

In our first proper WMQ&A podcast since March, writer Rich Douek ("Road of Bones," "The Wailing Blade") makes his second appearance on the podcast to talk about his upcoming IDW series "Sea of Sorrows," his "Gutter Magic" sequel, comics-ing in a pandemic and more.

Guest Christi Eddleman (Chrises on Infinite Earths, xavierfiles.com) joins Dan and Matt to talk about her fave, Capt. Kate Pryde. Along the way, we talk about "Marauders," cosplay, the former Kitty's fashions and storied love life, the 1989 "Pryde of the X-Men" pilot, a random episode of "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" and much more.

In our second visit to Jack Kirby's Fourth World, Dan and Matt discuss "Mister Miracle" #9, in which we learn how Scott Free escapes to Earth, who Himon looks like and what a cloche is.
