Yu-Gi-Oh is something I never really got into growing up. Or now for that matter since I've gotten into some things now that I should have gotten into when I was younger. Although I was kind of around it since I was into Pokemon and Magic: the Gathering so it's not a totally 100% new thing to me. Plus the memes.
Good thing I somehow convinced Luke Herr to come back for another session of "Luke Explains Things To Chris that Chris Should Already Know About." This time he takes on Yu-Gi-Oh and a combo shot of games in Forbidden Memories and Dark Duel Stories. Will we be trapped in the shadow realm for attempting this? Only one way to find out!
Learn such things as:
- How well do card games translate into video games?
- Did anyone plan this thing out or did stuff just get thrown at the wall?
- How were kids who watched this not completely traumatized and as a general rule experienced mental breakdowns?
- And so much more!
You can find Luke over on D’OhMance Dawn, Multiversal Q, and RPG Pals Club. Or catch him on Twitter @koltreg or his Patreon, found under Luke Herr.

Welcome, fellow gamers and comic book aficionados, to another electrifying episode of Play Comics! This week, we’re diving headfirst into the fiery pits of Hell with Spawn in the Demon’s Hand, the 3D fighting game that brought Todd McFarlane’s iconic antihero to the Sega Dreamcast. Prepare for a wild ride as we explore the game’s demonic delights, from its hellish bosses to its chaotic Battle Royale mode.
Joining us on this infernal journey are none other than Pierce Lydon and George Marston from the podcast Spawnography. These two Spawn scholars will help us unravel the twisted tale of Al Simmons, the military operative turned hellspawn, and his quest for vengeance and redemption. Expect plenty of laughs, deep dives into Spawn lore, and maybe even a few hellish puns along the way.
So grab your chains, summon your necroplasmic powers, and get ready to battle through the underworld with us. It’s time to see if “Spawn in the Demon’s Hand” is a heavenly hit or a devilish dud!
Learn such things as:
- Can Spawn ever really die?
- Do you need a plot to have a good game?
- Who is this? Why are they?
- And so much more!
You can find Spawnography on Twitter, BlueSky, and Instagram, and of course those Apple Podcast, YouTube, and Spotify places.

215 Ink with Mike Perkins
Play Comics
09/20/20 • 44 min
It's about time I talk to someone on the publishing side of things. Sure, you can self publish and do everything yourself but wouldn't it be nice if there was someone who could help you out with that? Maybe someone like Mike Perkins from 215 Ink perhaps?
I sure hope so because that's who I got. Listen in as I learn from Mike some of what goes into getting a comic into my hands, and be sure to head over to the 215 Ink shop to pick up some of their stuff. Or maybe even look into submitting something you've been working on? I know I have some talented listeners here even if they don't believe me. And when you buy something, because I know you will, be sure to mention that you're friends with me.
Learn such things as:
- How should you send a pitch to a publisher?
- How bad can my art be when I send something in?
- How can I help to get books into people's hands?
- How can you read the first issue of Freaks and Gods for free? Hint, follow this link.
- And so much more!
You can find Mike and 215 Ink over on Twitter @215Ink, Instagram @215Ink, Facebook @215Ink (are you sensing a theme here?) or the official 215 Ink website. You can also check out the 215 Ink Shop or their selection on Comixology.

Music by Best Day, who might maybe have a comic idea. But I really have no idea because I just pulled that out of my ass.
09/13/20 • 36 min
It's not often that I've seen a comic really follow along an entire family tree. Maybe a bit down the line but generation after generation after generation after..... well, you get the idea. Too bad I'm not a expert on the Jostar family legacy.
Good thing David Weinburger from Shonen Flop who thankfully is all over this one. Things will probably get a bit bizarre.
Learn such things as:
- When do family naming conventions go too far?
- Am I crazy for thinking the anime art was made using Jolly Ranchers?
- Why am I forcing David to learn Japanese
- And so much more!
You can find David on Twitter @davidmwein or check out Shonen Flop website and on Twitter @ShonenFlopCast.

My wife says no Funko Pops for me, at least not if I'm paying for them. She lets me get video games and comics, so I guess I can't complain. But since I was shutdown before I could even express any kind of interest in getting some I never really looked into them.
That's where Adam Williamson comes in. I learn some about the history of these big headed little dudes, how he gets away with having so many, and just what I'm missing out on.
Learn such things as:
- How do you get DC and Marvel to play nicely together?
- Where did this whole thing start?
- I'm saving how much money by not buying these!?
- And so much more!
You can find Adam on Twitter @thepariaheffect or on his soon to be coming podcast Boldly Viewing.

Fernando Pinto Roundup
Play Comics
02/14/21 • 34 min
You know what my favorite part of doing this podcast has been? Making such talented friends and having an excuse to share their stuff with the world. For real, it's even better than the comics people give me to read.
For example, I got to talk to Fernando Pinto about a few different things from him that I'm very happy to either have in my house right now or will have some time in the future in Warped and Gun Punch. Both are really fun comics that you should definitely check out.
Learn such things as:
- What should you do if you see a disclaimer in a book that says it's not for kids but you looked at the artwork and bought it for your small child anyway?
- How can you go about finding someone to work on your idea with you?
- Who has prettier eyes between Chris and Fernando?
- And so much more!
You can find Fernando on Twitter @Fdo_Pinto, on Instagram @minombreesfernandopinto and FernandoPintoArt.com.
<img class="alignleft wp-image-8496 size-elegantwp-medium-image" src="https://playcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Gun-PUnch-Updates-400x310.png" alt="" width="400" height="310" />Be sure to pick up a copy of Warped from the 215 Ink shop and check out Gun Punch on Fernando's site. And buy the book when that gets announced. See a sample on the Play Comics website because I can't get images to show up in the show notes that go out to the podcatchers. I took it straight from Gun Punch. You know, for science and all.

Play Comics
07/29/18 • 46 min
Epic heroes deserve epic villains, and Spider-Man sure has plenty of them. Scott Niswander of NerdSync joins us for a look at The Amazing Spider-Man vs The Kingpin on Sega Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, and Sega CD.
Learn such things as:

Spider-Man 2 with Kieran Shiach
Play Comics
06/17/18 • 43 min
Spider-Man, we just can’t get away from him can we? Not that I’m complaining, he’s a popular character for a reason. This time around joing Chris and Kieran Shiach as they talk about the second Toby McGuire Spider-Man film and the game that came out alongside it. Yeah, we’re cheating a bit and jumping ahead. I think we’ll survive just this once.
Learn such things as:
- What makes this game so amazing?
- If it’s that good why didn’t Chris play it?
- Is the movie as good as we remember?
- And so much more!

Scout's Honor with David Pepose
Play Comics
01/06/21 • -1 min
It's a thing we've all seen before. Post apocalyptic worlds and the groups who rise to power in which to rule them. And it's something I'll never really get tired of because all that really means is that you have a fairly familiar stepping stone into a story that can truly go anywhere. That's what we have here in Scout's Honor (published by those AfterShock dudes who are trying to take all my money by doing silly things like printing good comics and getting creators who are cool people) and why I'm spending this episode talking to writer David Pepose.
Listen in as I talk to David about how this wonderful book came to be and what drives him to write the way he does.
Learn such things as:
- What has us drawn to this type of dystopian story?
- What significant fact did Chris miss while reading this one?
- Why might I never buy Scout Popcorn every again?
- What to tell your local comic ship if you want to preorder #2 (DEC201133) or #3 (JAN211049)
- And so much more!
You can find David on Twitter @Peposed, Instagram @Peposed, on Facebook @ David Pepose Comics, his newsletter Pep Talks, and his website DavidPepose.com.
