Scout's Honor with David Pepose

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!

M.O.D.O.K Head Games with Jordan Blum

Comics have such a long history that there's no way anybody can know everything about every character. M.O.D.O.K. is that way for me. I have an idea of who this giant killing organism is but only because he's happened to be in other things.

Good thing I have Jordan Blum, one of the writers on the current mini-series M.O.D.O.K Head Games, on to let me know how much fun this series is (he's right) and how it's OK that I really don't know much going into reading this or watching the TV show due out later this year.

Learn such things as:

What was Jordan's real reason for making the upcoming M.O.D.O.K. show?
How much trouble is Jordan going to get into with Marvel editor Jordan D White?
What did I do to make Jordan sad?
And so much more!

You can find Jordan on Twitter @BlumJordan, Instagram @BlumJordan,

Fist of the North Star 10 Big Brawls for the King of the Universe with Andrew Mecha Davis (Popanimecomics)

These days when a series is based all around fighting and punching people in the face it's a surprise when there isn't a fighting game to go along with it. But did you know that there was a time when Street Fighter II hadn't come out yet? And that people were making fighting games before it?

Listen in as Andrew Mecha Davis from Popanimecomics joins the show to help take a look at Fist of the North Star 10 Big Brawls for the King of the Universe to help solve the mystery of why this anime hasn't been bigger in the US. And possibly set a new record for longest Play Comics episode title. I'm too lazy to actually go check on that one though, it just feels right. Learn such things as:

Can a story be good if you already know where it's going?
Does it really matter who characters are in a fighting game?
What's the best way to experience Fist of the North Star?
And so much more!

You can find Andrew on Facebook @Popanimecomics, the Popanimecomics website, the Popanimecomics Lounge podcast, Popanimecomics on YouTube.
