This week, it’s the return of Salvagers creator Bob Salley, who brings with him Kelly Bender from Starburn. We get the latest news from both creators about their sci-fi books, then we dive into an extended discussion about independent comics, including how each came up with their book concepts, how they were produced and what we might see from them in the future. If you didn’t get to attend the recent San Diego Comic-Con, be sure to tune in and listen to this dynamic panel discussion. I learned a lot, and I’m sure you will, too! http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/majorspoilers/WComics185.mp3 Direct Download Subscribe…

While it’s great fun to interview established comics creators, it’s also wonderful to talk with up-and-coming talent in the industry. This week, I chat with Richard Rivera, the creator of the new Stabbity Bunny independent comic. FULL DISCLOSURE: I did help with the editing on this comic, but Richard developed the concept, and that drew me in!
It’s been a busy time here at Wayne’s Comics Podcast HQ! First, I enjoyed a great weekend at the Heroes Convention in North Carolina. Then I returned home to prepare for the 2015 Florida Supercon near Miami. I only had a day or two between, and my plans for a new interview fell through when my access to the Internet was lost for the foreseeable future! Rather than skip a week, I thought I’d present two “classic” interviews with David Petersen from Mouse Guard. The first took place at a Baltimore Comic-Con and happened on the convention floor. The other…

He shares many great stories about his experiences working in this crazy comics industry, but you’ll particularly want to hear what he shares about Malibu being acquired by Marvel a while back! He just might clear up a…

A comic about a “real-life super-hero” needs your help! This week, I talk with Onrie Kompan, the driving force behind the Yi Soon Shin trilogy of comics focusing on a hero who saved his people from an invading force by his own wits and skills in military strategy.

You’re going to enjoy my conversation with Kelly Thompson, a comics creator who also writes and talks about comics as well!
A great comic often does a lot more than entertain – it educates! This week, I interview Mark Zuehlke, a historian who has scripted The Loxleys and Confederation, a great comic from Renegade Arts Entertainment that discusses how Canada was formed and what influence the United States played in that creation. This book is the sequel to The Loxleys and The War of 1812, another great historical graphic novel that taught me a lot about that war and its aftermath. We follow a family whose existence parallels the formation of Confederation, and provides us with a human perspective on this…
