Fri, 15 June 2007  This is the second in our series of 'Direktor's
Kuts', featuring an interview followed by a DVD-style commentary track, where we
go page-by-page with the creators and discuss the thought processes behind each
scene, how it was rendered and how it relates to future issues.
In this episode, Fangoria Comics Executive Editor
Scott Licina and Mark Kidwell, writer, artist and creator of Fangoria Comics
first title, Bump, join us for a discussion of:
Fangoria's upcoming line of comics and films;
Variant covers; Late books; Horror in comics; Ghosts and Ghost stories
(including the Patrick Swayze film); Scary clowns and dolls; J-Horror; Ed Gein;
Hollywood legend Robert Kurtzman; Scott's facination with Julie Andrews, Ingrid
Pitt, Fran Drescher and Betty White; and the final word on what happened with
Vampirella.
*** Explicit Language Alert: This podcast is
uncensored. We forgot to mention it when we introduced the episode, so this is
your only warning. ***
With that, break out your copy of Bump #1 and join
us for a behind-the-scenes look at the first issue from Fangoria's new line of
comics.
Even if you don't have Bump #1 yet, there's a 42
minute interview before the commentary starts, which should give you plenty of
time to get to Barnes & Noble or your local comic shop and pick up a
copy.

Thu, 31 May 2007 Kryptographik is a trans-continental podcast
featuring Brian (in the U.S.) and Damian (in Australia), providing news,
reviews, and commentary regarding science-fiction, dark fantasy and horror, in
and out of comics.
In our 12th podcast, we interview comic writer and
editor Chris Reilly and James Sime, owner of the Isotope Comic Book Lounge, two
of the five judges that put together this year's Will Eisner Comic Industry
Awards Ballot.
We discuss monthly comics vs. OGNs (original
graphic novels), extra content in monthly comics vs. collected editions, the
Direct Market vs. chain bookstores, printing on expensive paper vs. newsprint,
downloading digital comics, 52, Civil War, the new Captain America Omnibus,
MiracleMan, Lost Girls, Alan Moore, Casanova, Fell and (unsurprising to our
regular listeners) Warren Ellis.
We also discuss how comics are submitted for
inclusion in the Eisner ballot, marathon reading sessions, voting against your
friends, cup-a-noodle soup and how reading too many comics in one weekend might
send you to the hospital.
We even get James and Chris to name their favorites
for this year's final judging at the 2007 Comic-Con International in San Diego
this July. Comments[0] |
