The ElfQuest Show

We're back with a SECOND episode all about ElfQuest: Stargazer's Hunt Vol 2. There was so much good stuff in this book, I decided one episode wasn't enough!

This time I'm joined by my pal Michael McAdam who drops amazing comments like "It devastated us in all the perfect ways" and "It's philosophy as much as it is fantasy" and "What if Picknose were secretly Buddha?" throughout the whole episode. You really just have to listen!

The ElfQuest Show podcast is back with a new episode focused on the duel quests of Jink and Skywise in issue 4 of ElfQuest - Stargazer's Hunt.

This time I'm joined by longtime fan Shekinah, known in ElfQuest fandom for her enthusiasm and infatuation with, well, pretty much every character.

We go in deep discussing Jink's first adventure on the World of Two Moons where she meets the various tribes, offends Queen Oddbit and causes drooling among elves and trolls alike. We also unpack Skywise's incredible discovery in the depths of space.

My good friend and fellow long-time ElfQuest fan Heather Beschizza joins me for a discussion all about issue 3 of "ElfQuest - Stargazer's Hunt." Heather and I chat about Skywise's titular hunt and the melancholy turn it takes in this issue. We also unpack Timmain's empathy, parallels between Rayek and Skywise, Sunstream's goodbye to Cutter, Thistlecap the Preserver, Jink's growth (both physically and as a character), why Yun is a boss, and the nature of "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey." And we of course freak out over the reveal of the real name of Cutter and Leetah's third cub. You didn't really think it was "Chad," did you?

ElfQuest - Stargazer's Hunt issue 2 is here! Guest host Michael McAdam joins me to chat all about Timmain’s reveal to her lifemate Skywise, of her secret connection to Cutter, the stargazer’s “brother in all but blood,” and Skywise’s explosive reaction. We also unpack Jink's fateful choice, Cutter's whereabouts, Aurek's gentle reprimand, the new Preserver Thistlecap, elfin interior design and more.

(And as promised, here is the "Funny Flight Attendant" viral video that features Michael delivering his flight safety announcements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf-Ye3Gmu0E&t=96s)

ElfQuest is a back with an all-new, eight-part series called Stargazer's Hunt! In this episode, David and guest host Tanya Scott-Thomas react to the premiere issue, discussing the art collaboration between Wendy Pini and series artist Sonny Strait, the first glimpse of life on the Starhome, Strongbow's grief, Jink as a child, Venka's parenting choices, and Skywise's loss and fear. Also included is a recap of major events of The Final Quest, news updates on the latest new ElfQuest releases, and a summary of all the ways to purchase and read ElfQuest comics and graphic novels.

Wendy and Richard Pini have announced a brand new ElfQuest series coming from Dark Horse Comics! The first issue of "ElfQuest - Stargazer's Hunt" will premiere on November 13, 2019. The Pinis joined me to talk all about what they have in store for new series. As devilishly tight-lipped about specific plot-points as ever, they still managed to share an incredibly delicious amount of info to whet your appetite--from the nature of Skywise's titular "hunt" and Jink's role in it to the connections of this story to both Final Quest and Future Quest--and much more. They also talk about a new creative process for this tale and how series artist Sonny Strait is adding his unique talents to it. You don't want to miss this episode!

The world of ElfQuest is filled with hundreds of incredible characters. In this episode of the ElfQuest Show podcast, I'm launching the first of what I hope to be many episodes exploring specific characters.

While it was tempting to start with Cutter, Leetah or Skywise--the main characters of the series--I decided to kick this off with a character who hasn't had as much time in the spotlight. Even secondary players in ElfQuest have their own personalities, histories, roles to play, and devoted fandoms. Who personifies this better than Shenshen, Leetah's "little sister"?

I chatted with Wendy Pini herself on the origins of Shenshen's character, her visual design and how she evolved over the course of forty years. I hope you enjoy it.

It's been one year since the release of the final issue of The Final Quest. I caught up with Wendy and Richard Pini to hear what the last year has been like, and what it feels like to have concluded Cutter's Hero's Journey, a story 40 years in the telling.

The Pinis share their experience meeting fans on their publicity tour, being nominated for an Eisner Award and their insights into Wendy's "animated" drawing technique, Moonshade's death, the Palace's hum, the mythic quality of Cutter's tale, the power of "Once Upon a Time," hints and foreshadowing, clues about what's next . . . and flying meatloaf.
