The ElfQuest Show

Welcome to the all-new Elfquest Show podcast! With the ending of the Final Quest comic series in February 2018, show creator Ryan Browne retired from hosting and the show went into hiatus. With this episode, co-creator David Mizejewski is launching a new version of the show. Listen to find out about his plans for the show moving forward, and for an incredible conversation between ElfQuest artist and co-creator Wendy Pini and her one-time apprentice and Final Quest colorist Sonny Strait. Get ready to be inspired and to guffaw.

We've arrived at the final issue of the Final Quest and with it the conclusion of Cutter Kinseeker's hero's journey. With this episode, we've fulfilled Ryan's original vision for this podcast to chronicle each issue of the Final Quest series.

Pour a glass of dreamberry wine, grab some tissues, and join us for one last deep dive together into the World of Two Moons as we discuss the series-changing events of Final Quest #24 and what's next for this podcast.

The Final Quest draws ever closer to its conclusion. In this episode, we tackle issue #23, an emotional rollercoaster with heart and heartbreak in equal measure and the penultimate chapter of the saga. We discuss Windkin's lethal work, Dewshine's threat, Dart's full circle, Two-Edge's valor, the Go-Backs' armor, Treestump's dream, the mystery of the Little Palace, Kimo's sacrifice, Leetah's song, the Wolfriders' naivete, Shuna's fate, Strongbow's choice, the end of the Way, and more. One more issue to go. . . .

Issue #22 of the Final Quest is a pivotal issue not only in the Final Quest series but in the entire 40-year-old ElfQuest saga--so much so that it took us two episodes to discuss it. This is part two. We talk about the fulfillment of Skywise's quest to reach the stars, his relationship with Cutter and Timmain, and the ultimate fate of Moonshade and Strongbow.

Issue #22 of the Final Quest is a pivotal issue not only in the Final Quest series but in the entire 40-year-old ElfQuest saga--so much so that it took us two episodes to discuss it. This is part one. We talk Yun's character development, the importance of High Winds Holt, the WaveDancers' newfound purpose, Old Maggoty's choice, the birth of Venka's child, Leetah's new role and more.

Final Quest #20 is here and it's party time in Father Tree Holt. The impending threat of gun-wielding humans doesn't stop the elves from celebrating a new lifemating and a surprise Recognition. With Ryan off on vacation, David and special guest hosts Lisa Lannen and Katie La Salle-Lowry discuss these joyous events, plus the handing over of the mantle of chieftainship, new developments in Moonshade and Strongbow's troubled relationship, a new look for some trolls, a lovemate for Two-Edge, Rayek growing up, the spectre of death by fire for some ancient elves, and the answer to the question, "who stays, who goes?"

Line of Beauty: the Art of Wendy Pini is here! The third of the art books published by Flesk Publications, the Line of Beauty is a retrospective on the artistic development and career (to date) of Wendy Pini. Written by Richard Pini, it is filled with deep insight and never-before-seen-art and is a must-read for any fans of ElfQuest or the Pinis. David discusses it all with a very special surprise guest.

Cutter has completed his most recent quest and returned to the Holt, and himself. In this episode, we talk about his return and what it means for the Wolfriders, including the fate of Ember's chieftainship. Plus, Rayek's sexy new outfit, Tyleet's quest, Dart and Mender's big news, Door's diabolical plans, Shuna's role in the impending conflict with her countrymen, revelations about even more new elves, and the deepening realization (of both the characters and the fans) that the end is approaching--we chew on it all in this episode.

In this episode, we discuss issue #18 of the Final Quest. Lots of big developments in this issue! Cutter completes his latest quest in the Frozen Mountains and we muse on the implications of his powerful apology for both elves and trolls. We also talk about the evolution of Strongbow and Moonshade's troubled relationship, the growing powers of the Palace Dwellers, the poor treatment Two-Edge has received in his long life, Skywise's foibles and Venka's big surprise.
