Wayne’s Comics Podcast #389: Alexander Banchitta Jul 07, 2019

Show notes

He’s back, and you can again hear another great conversation I had with him! It’s the return of creator/writer Alexander Banchitta from Fright Comics in Episode 389! This week, you’ll hear my fun interview with him as he talks about his upcoming comics series’ Headless from Scout Comics, an update to the classic tale of The Headless Horseman. You should always expect the unexpected from Alex and his artists since they’re masters at throwing curve balls when it comes to fast-paced scripts and believable characters! We also talk about several related topics, including the comics industry, what it’s like to move from an Indie comic to Scout, how much he enjoys working with a great artist like Robert Ahmad, and more about the characters! To buy many of his books, go to his shop on the Fright Comics website! Just be sure you place your order for Headless from Scout at your local comics shop today!

DISCUSSION

YOUNG JUSTICE BOOK ONE
Writer: Various
Artist: Various
Publisher: DC Comics
Batman. Superman. The Flash. The incredible members of the Justice League of America cast a long shadow, and the members of Young Justice are eager to step out of it. Robin, Superboy and Impulse want to prove to their superhero mentors that they’re capable of tackling super-villains on their own. Under the guidance of the stoic, wise Red Tornado, the three teen heroes begin their quest to make a name for themselves, apart from their famous friends.
When the team gains three new members-shy but powerful Wonder Girl, champion archer Arrowette and mystical Secret-Young Justice is ready to take on one of the toughest foes the universe has ever seen: the giant tyrant Despero. But it’s a race against the clock: if Young Justice can’t work together and defeat Despero within 22 minutes, the Justice League will disband Young Justice permanently. Can the team come together to stop Despero’s reign of terror, or will Young Justice be separated forever?

Witness the epic battles the Young Justice team faces in these classic stories written by critically acclaimed author Peter David. YOUNG JUSTICE BOOK ONE collects YOUNG JUSTICE #1-7, JLA: WORLD WITHOUT GROWN-UPS #1-2, YOUNG JUSTICE: THE SECRET and YOUNG JUSTICE: SECRET FILES #1.

Wayne’s Comics Podcast #387: Karl Kesel, Brent Larson Jun 23, 2019

Show notes

I hope you’re ready for another double-header and Kickstarter week because Episode 387 focuses on two excellent projects I hope you will support! First up is comics creator Karl Kesel, who has Impossible Jones, a high-quality graphic novel you can now support on Kickstarter by going to impossiblekickstarter.com! This book is about a female thief who gets super powers and is now considered a superhero, so she goes along with it! We talk about how he brought this story to life as well as what we might expect from them in the months ahead, including more Section Zero. This Kickstarter has been doing well, so now is the perfect time to jump on to get great stretch goals!

Then everything wraps up with my discussion about Kayless Issue #1 with writer Brent Larson from Silverline, the comics company that is making this Kickstarter happen! Here’s the series’ quick description: “In 1967, Scott Anders rocketed into space on a secret, CIA-sponsored mission referred to as the Kayless Project... to investigate an astronomical anomaly known only in the darkest corridors of the U.S. Government. Three days later all communication ceased. The project, seen as an embarrassing and costly failure, was erased from history and forgotten. Until today, when Scott mysteriously plummets to earth and emerges, unscathed, and hellbent on one purpose… to return to the anomaly in space.” We talk about how the book came to be, discuss the comic's fascinating story, and what the future might hold for Kayless. It’s an excellent science-fiction story worthy of your support, so I recommend you go to Kickstarter at this link after you listen to our interview!
