A few months ago Steven Charles Rosia joined in the annual Comic Creator Summit. We could tell this was a driven creator who would be moving quickly.

So it was no surprise when Steven told us he was launching a Kickstarter for his next project, the horror comic Muskoka.

“The discovery of a new tribe of people sparks a field study that is doomed before it has even begun.”

Keith and Chris sit down with Steven to talk about his earlier projects, Muskoka, running his first Kickstarter, and, of course, some general comic talk.

From Steven:

I love monsters. Something about the design. Something about the character of a thing that is not supposed to exist. Whether malevolent, kindly, or misunderstood. Brooding, scary, goofy, or bizarre.

What’s odd is how something so unnatural can come so naturally. Is it a subconscious obsession to be afraid? To see faces in the dark when there are none to be seen. To pluck a figure out of your peripheral vision and think the worst.

You can support Steven’s Kickstarter until March 18, 2015 by following this link.

We at We Talk Comics are thrilled when small press creators send us review copies of their comics!

Indie and self-published comics hold a special place in our hearts. The unchecked creativity coupled with creators who are putting their heart and soul into their grab at the brass ring makes the rough edges disappear.

Chris and Keith sit down with a digital stack of small press comics to WeView the night away.

Thanks to all of the creators who sent us their comics, we wish them all luck in their careers. Some of these books were funded through Kickstarter, so always keep an eye on the comic listings there for the next great book!

Predictions folks. Just like Nostradamus did.

Let’s face it, he is evidence it’s not likely any of them will ever come true. Still, one of the WTC traditions is for Keith, Chris, Brett and Mo to gather around near the beginning of the latest calender year to try and guess a few things that will come true in 2015. As well as they receive their scores for any correct predictions from the previous year. Did any of them get anything right?

This is one of the most popular and funniest episodes of the year. It’s completely insane in the way only We Talk Comics can be, so listen on the We Talk Podcasts website or at our show sponsor COMICOSITY.

A big week for We Talk Podcasts kicks off with some great comic book talk. Todd Frye has written a book called Marvelous Mythologies analyzing the books, stories, and characters of the Marvel Universe. It includes some of the special behind the scene events that took place during key developmental years of the Marvel Universe and a look at the creators who shaped it.

Also on with hosts Brett and Mo to discuss this topic is their friend and a walking encyclopedia of the Silver Age, Paul O’Connor who hosted the Longbox Graveyard podcast here on the network as well as his own continuing series of excellent to be found at http://longboxgraveyard.com/. We appreciate Paul coming and we know we’ll be talking to him again in the near future about the exciting things happening for him.

So put on some corduroy pants and striped cardigan sweaters and head back to a groovy time with your pals at We Talk Comics

The comic is called “Andrew Jackson in Space.”

The pitch is that it’s US President Andrew Jackson… in space.

Well there’s a little more to it than that, but you can hear it directly from writer Brian M. Visaggio in this special Kickstart This episode of We Talk Comics.

Chris and Keith sit down with Brian to talk about the campaign, the book, and a whole lot more. Why Andrew Jackson? Will he send more presidents to space? Will he get inspiration from the presidents-in-space that Chris and Keith pitch?

Extra credit to Brian for not storming of when Keith tried his patented “only Enterprise is still in continuity” move on this avid Trek fan.

All this, and the guys even have time to touch on a bit of news and discuss the curiously similar comic events coming from Marvel and DC – Secret Wars and Convergence.

Sit back, pour a glass of Romulan Ale, and enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at Andrew Jackson in Space!

The Kickstarter for Andrew Jackson in Space is on until February 7, 2015. Back it today!

or “Actually, It’s About Santa in Comics’ Journalism”

It’s the annual Secret Santa episode of We Talk Comics and it’s an all-star cast of comic book pundits, reviewers, and journalists.

Keith, Brett and Chris from We Talk are joined by Matt Santori-Griffith (co-owner of Comicosity.com), Chris Doucher (owner of GeekNerdNet.com), Stephanie Cooke (host of Talking Comics), and Jessica Boyd (host of The Hangout).

All seven of the hosts and guests, with the assistance of a Mo-Tastic Santa, picked a graphic novel, comic, or collection for another one of the crowd to read. We go around the group to talk about what we read and guess the identity of our Secret Santa.

It was an extra challenging guessing game this year as Stephanie is brand new to our crowd and Jessica hasn’t been on the show in nearly two years.

So pour some eggnog, get into that Santa frame of mind, and listen to comic talk as seven of the most well-read comic folks out there discover something new to them.
