One of the $trange$t comics ever published by Wildstorm Studios, Automatic Kafka ran a mere 9 issues but is nevertheless a series worth revisiting in 2025.

June 12, 2025VINTERVIEW: Director Matt Battaglia Talks Georgian Wine Doc THE RED LINE
Sen Us Your Thoughts!
Watch THE RED LINE Documentary HERE.
We’ve been following Matt Battaglia on Substack for a couple of years now, but in his role as a comic creator. (And for those just joining us or with short memories, once upon a time we were “Wine and Comics”, a publication and YouTube show dedicated to precisely that, before expanding out into all types of entertainment/media.)
I purchased Matt’s first full graphic novel as a one man show writer/artist, HOUSE ON FIRE and absolutely adored it.
But wildly, his comics aren’t why we’re featuring Matt on the podcast today! Instead, he reached out via DM to let me know that he had just completed directing a short 20+ minute documentary on Georgian winery "Papari Valley” run by Ketevan “Keti” Gurabanidze, Shalva “Nukri” Kurdadze, and their son Sandro.
If you're in the States, distributor BLACK LAMB carries Papari Valley wines, and can be purchased here.
