Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

I've always liked "alternate reality" comics, and how they would force me to learn/read more of the stories they were based on- I would finish a Marvel Comics "What If...?", for example, and then want to know what the REAL story was and how it all differed.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

An appreciation for story altogether, (hopefully) some good laughs, and the curiosity to check out the types of stories we're discussing. Oh, AND a burning desire to keep listening to the show.

Which episode should someone start with?

"WHAT IF JANE FOSTER HAD FOUND THE HAMMER OF THOR?" It's such a terrible book, and Odin is a world-class misogynist. We rip it apart, and I think I even apologized to my co-hosts for subjecting them to it! But it's a pretty funny episode.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

They're all my babies! I'm more interested in hearing what other folks' favorite episodes are.

Which episode are you most proud of?

"Millar & McNiven's Nemesis"

What is your vision for your show?

To get folks into different takes on characters they may already know and love, and to find the core of them within each tale. And to enjoy any divergence for what it may be, too. Plus, DC & MARVEL- bring back Elseworlds and monthly "What If...?'s" already!

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

The Dork Knight, and Throwdown Thursday.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

I wanted to call it "Comix Parallax," but figured that might confuse Green Lantern fans, since one of the major characters became a villain named Parallax in the 90's. "Paradox" was the next best thing I could think of (especially because I also love time-travel stories), and I really wanted that "X" in each word. Heh.
