The opening in China made a HUGE difference in the Alita: Battle Angel  box office numbers. Season 2 of Iron Fist was somehow even worse than  season 1? Shazam! may be a perfect comic book translation.  Plus  Bat-nipples?

The internet complains a lot about the lack of female-led  action/blockbuster films – yet they don’t support them. Alita’s opening  weekend was garbage and the only reason it’s made its money since this  was filmed is the release in the China market.

We talk about Liam Neeson’s controversial revelation about his past We  discuss if Doom Patrol might be better than Titans. We do a deep dive  into the failings of modern storytelling in comics, TV, and film. All  that and more!

We discuss passion, choosing a direction in life, and much more.

Frank “The Writer” Martin joins us to talk about his upcoming collection of The Modern Testament being Kickstarted as we speak.

Frank put out the single issues of Modern Testament under Insane  Comics, an independent publisher that … well you really should just  listen/watch to the episode. I was in for a shock, that’s for sure. We  talk about his entry into comics, and we of course get off onto a few  tangents.

I talk about a few of the stories in Alan Moore’s Wild Worlds, and a book I found randomly at a Half Price Books.

We talk educating the world with Ali Pepic in this one.

From startups to finding  yourself, we cover his path and his goals going forward.

With so many creators getting into the market these days, it’s hard  to find a career in art. I speak with Mike Emertiz about his journey.

We talk successes, getting sidetracked, and upcoming moves.

On this one, I took a look at my Free Comic Book Day 2018 haul.

Free Comic Book Day, taking place on the first Saturday of May, is an  annual promotional effort by the North American comic book industry to  help bring new readers into independent comic book stores.

I always go to my Local Comics Shop (Got Comics Inc.)  to get my books. Some shops have per person limits, some shops do not.  This year, I was treated to a no-limit grab, so I picked up everything  that looked great.

We talked leaving your job to pursue your passion, as well as photography with Nate Dionisio.
