Graphic Novel Apostle

Something a little different for this episode of the Graphic Novel Apostle podcast. Think of this as an addendum to last week's Trve Kvlt episode, which also included my guest Michael Crump. During our discussion of Trve Kvlt, we took a detour ... for about 45 minutes ... to discuss our "40 From 20" playlists, that is - playlists with 2 tracks each from our 20 favorite albums. In the end, we decided to cut that discussion out of our Trve Kvlt episode and share it this week as a bonus episode. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Be sure to come back next week for the second entry in our Batman: The Long Halloween series, as I'll be discussing Batman: The Long Halloween, issue 2.

On this week's episode, GNA host Mark Ohrenberger welcomes Tomi Trembath, a podcaster and first-time comic writer, whose upcoming comic When We Transform: A Superhero Tale of Transition, issue 0, is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Tomi discusses her two podcasts: Giant Size Violence: A Toku Comics Podcast and Transcending Comics, a podcast dedicated to covering trans, non-binary, and gender queer representation in comics, manga, and webtoons. She also discusses combining the subject matter of those two podcasts to tell the story of a superhero who gets stuck in limbo for decades, is long thought to be dead, and returns transformed.
