Wayne Hall creates the Wayne's Comics Podcast. He’s interviewed Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, John Layman, Kyle Higgins, Phil Hester, Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray, David Petersen, Christos Gage, Mike Grell, and Matt Kindt. On this site each week, he writes his "Comics Portal" column (general comics comments and previews) and reviews comics.
“A brand-new ongoing series for the next generation of readers!”
That’s how this book is described. It’s also how the other new comics in this group are listed, so it’s the House of Ideas and IDW working to attract younger readers who may not be as familiar with today’s heroes.
At midnight tonight, we leave 2018 behind and stand at the precipice of a new year, 2019. Psychics make a living out of predicting the future, but while I’m no psychic, I have some thoughts on what we just might see in the coming months.
Happy New Year! It’s time to end 2018 with a great exclamation point interview for the year here at the Wayne’s Comics Podcast!
I wrote a similar column about three years back, but I thought it was worth an update as we near the end of 2018… sort of a “state of the industry” from my perspective before we move into a new year. First, of course, I need to give my yearly advice to people buying gifts for comics fans, especially late ones (hey, guys, it IS Christmas Eve)! Do NOT try to buy an item you THINK they might want! Chances are, they either have it or don’t want it if they haven’t already bought it. Instead, locate their local comics…
It’s time for another special week at the Wayne’s Comics Podcast, with a great interview and my yearly holiday tradition!
It’s not often that a comic comes out at the perfect time. Well, this one did—appearing the week before Christmas! I loved the original miniseries by this creative team, so I was already looking forward to it! It was an ideal read for the holiday season!
This week’s Batman Annual looks at our hero from his butler’s point of view, and it’s truly engaging and enlightening.
As reported by MajorSpoilers.com Head Honcho Stephen Schleicher, Marvel had recently been building up interest in what appeared to be the destruction of their very own universe. Teaser images aplenty flooded the Internet, then the House of Ideas released exactly what was going on… a miniseries called Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History.
Stephen’s response was perfect: “Well… that was… anticlimactic.”
Comics Creator Sam Johnson is back in Episode 360, and the important news about Geek-Girl, his high-octane comic about a young girl who gains access to powers through, of all things, a pair of glasses!
There’s a show called Deadtown being developed by Amazon Studios featuring deceased women that sounds tremendously engaging, and it should be turned into a comic if that isn’t underway already!
Ben Rankel is the creator of a fascinating graphic novel from Renegade Arts Entertainment called Frank.
I have always thought comics are the perfect way to tell a good sci-fi story. I mean, you have an unlimited special effects budget, and you are only limited by the imagination of the creative team.
As a perfect example, along comes The Freeze, which has a fascinating premise while looking at things from a human perspective.
Attorney Matt Murdock has been one of the key Marvel players for decades now, and his alter ego Daredevil has really attracted a lot of attention both in the comics and on Netflix.
Sadly, that era may be coming to a close.
They’re back, and they have important news for Impure Blood fans! In Episode 358, I talk with creators Nadja Baer and Nathan Lueth, who created this epic series!
