The Hall H Show – The Voice of Independent Creators

On this episode, Aaron Nabus talks to a former high school teacher turned writer, Gabe Cheng!

He currently has a Kickstarter campaign going on until Friday, August 6, 2021, for the fourth chapter of his comic book, For Molly. You can also get caught up by picking up issues 1-3...which is what I did.

For Molly is an action packed modern fantasy adventure, set among the abandoned things in the New Jersey forest, where talking dogs and off-the-grid humans have precariously coexisted...until now. It tackles themes such as guilt, abandonment, and trust. The two main characters, Greg and Molly start out hopeless and isolated, but through their experiences in the forest and despite all of the challenges they face, they discover something in each other that's worth fighting for.

Welcome to the Hall H Show, Gabe!

Aaron Nabus here and our guest for Episode 111 of the Hall H Show is the multi-talented illustrator and comic book creator, Robert Roach!

Robert has been a Los Angeles based illustrator, comic artist & publisher since the mid-90s, picking up a Glyph Award for his creator owned comic book, "The Roach" in 2009, teaching storyboarding at L.A.'s Otis College of Art & Design's "Continuing Education", designing action figures, working on projects for Ford and jetBlue Airlines, living in Japan and Osaka for a few years, and earning rave reviews for another one of his comic books, called "Menthu" which features a present day story based on Egyptian mythology and set in Los Angeles.

On this episode we'll be talking about the trade paperback for The Roach "At War With The Cause," which is currently on Kickstarter until Saturday, August 7th, 2021.

If we were to tell you that host, Aaron Nabus would be interviewing on this episode, a fellow podcaster, an ordained Soto Zen Buddist monk, a screenwriter that has sold the film rights to one of his stories to Justin Lin and has developed other film and TV projects with JJ Abrams, Ridley Scott, John Woo, and Penelope Cruz (just to name a few), a Ringo Award winning coming book creator, a poker player that has won a ton of online and in person tournaments, and a former American Ninja Warrior contestant, you probably say, "Wow, where did Aaron find all these guests? And man, is this going to be a five hour show?"

Well guess what, they are all the same person!

That's right...the one...the only, Rylend Grant is back to talk about his Tokusatsu genre comic, Suicide Jockeys and so much more!

We're happy to welcome back a writer that we first met at Black Comix Day 2018, the creator of Is'nana the Were-Spider, Greg Anderson Elysée! It's hard to believe that the first time we interviewed him was three years ago on episode 31. Time sure went by fast!

He's been on several shows since then to discuss a few of the comic books that he's written. On episode 109, host Aaron Nabus talks to Greg about Is'ana the Were-Spider: Birthday Day. While it's the fifth comic book in the Is'nana the Were-Spider series, Birthday Day is actually a prequel.

It's available to back on Kickstarter until 7/18/21, so let's help it finish strong.

Welcome back to the Hall H Show, Greg!

On this episode, Hall H Show host, Aaron Nabus chats with writer, actor and director, Clay Adams. You might know him for his voice acting work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward and several seasons of Yugioh. He was last on the show back in October of 2020, on episode 99, where he and David Schrader talked about their horror themed comic book anthology, Nightmare Theater.

He's back to talk about one of his own comics, PBOW: World War Bitch 1-2, the grindhouse action comedy sequel to Pregnant Bitches of War (Dystopian sci-fi for mature readers that's The Handmaid's Tale meets Kill Bill). PBOW: World Pregnant Bitches of War is on Kickstarter until June, 17, 2021.

Clay also shares some great writing, Kickstarter and voice acting advice. Enjoy!

Writer, Terry Mayo (The Wicked Righteous, Disposable Legends) and artist, Dave Swartz (Feast or Famine, Confederate Monster) talk with host, Aaron Nabus about their indie comic, Buddy (a family friendly horror tale about a pug trying to save his family from a horde of demons). The last full day to back on Kickstarter is Saturday, 6/5/21).

We talk about how Terry has 14 kids (just joking...but his family is growing) and his job as a nurse, Dave's fascination with words and philosophy, and so much more (the both of them also share some valuable advice for aspiring comic book creators)!

I hope to one day hang out with the both of them and maybe sing some karaoke (make sure to listen to this episode to find out what Terry sang to win second place in a contest in the 90's). Enjoy!

Hey there Hall H Show listeners, Aaron Nabus here and joining me on this episode is Jay Jay Maniquis, a pop culture fan (Back to the Future is his favorite movie) and food and travel vlogger with a fast growing YouTube channel called Jaycation. On this episode we talk about growing up in San Diego, his travels to Spain, France, Italy, New Zealand, The Philippines and other places, the importance of engaging with your fans and community, San Diego Comic-Con, his love for CW shows (Arrow, The Flash, One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek), and so much more!

At the time of our chat he was about 150 subscribers from the 30k milestone (which he has since passed) – congratulations, Jay Jay! He does a lot for local businesses and also in providing great value for "Jaycationers" (like me). So let's all continue to support him as he makes his way to his personal goal of 100k YouTube subscribers!

This was a fun and informative chat with Jay Jay and I hope to meet up with him soon for some good food and beer! Enjoy!

Hello fellow nerds, geeks and supporters of indie pop culture creators! Aaron Nabus here and welcome to the Hall H Show! I appeared recently on The Writers Block (hosted by Rylend Grant and David Avellone) with my guests for episode 105, Tilly and Susan Bridges.

That was a fun conversation, not about writing, but about creating podcasts, which they produce, along with audio dramas, through their company, Pendant Productions.

Though, Tilly and Susan are also writers, having written their own comic book, Killswitch.

On this episode, we talk about their "meet cute" moment, Pendant Productions, Killswitch, pizza, Star Trek, Trans Tuesday and so much more...enjoy! ~Aaron

International Mobile Film Festival 2021 will be taking place virtually on April 23-25, 2021.

This festival is an annual celebration of mobile filmmaking that is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year!

For some, it may seem like making movies on your smartphone has only been trending fairly recently, but our guest for this episode, Susan Botello, has been promoting the possibilities of mobile filmmaking since the first iPhone came out in 2007 – maybe even before that!

She's the owner of SBP Productions, founder of the International Mobile Film Festival, "The Voice for Mobile Film", as the host of the SBP Podcast, creator of Mobile Film Stories, a frequent guest of the Hall H Show, and a spokesperson for San Diego's Fish Taco industry!

Welcome back to the show, Susy! ~Aaron
