After working steadily in comics for over a decade, cartoonist Jason Copland decided it was time to tell his story. This is when Full Tilt was born. What a long strange trip it’s been. Listen as Jason shares the ups and downs, the highs and lows of making the book you want to make. The 305 page book (Yep, you read that correctly) Full Tilt comes to Zoop this week. Get involved.

Mystic Melon.

I case you missed it, here are the first four pages of our wonderful book Mystic Melon.

Zane Barrow loves comics. You can tell by the way he talks about the medium. His enthusiasm is infectious. This love affair began back when Zane was a clerk at his local comic shop, championing smaller press books that lived in the fringes of mainstream comics. After answering a call on Twitter, Zane began his editing career. He hasn’t looked back. Zane joins us today to discuss his role in the triumph return of Gold Key Comics via Kickstarter. This is 45 minutes of podcast you don’t want to miss.

Jason McNamara is one cool dude, despite what he tells ya. We got to know Jason during the pandemic when we the three of us would chat about comics and story telling for hours over Zoom. It was during one of these convos that Jason mentioned the ideas and themes that turned into Past Tense, his new graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics.

Past Tense tells the story of Ashley, a tour guide at PAST TENSE, a company that sends camera drones into the past to view history's most depraved events. When Ashley discovers Silas Green, an...

There is a whole lot of graphic design that goes into making a comic. Stop and really think about it. There’s making the logo and its placement on the cover, the title page, the back cover, the book spine. The list goes on and on and on. Our guest today, Kevin Maher is here to make sense of all of it. Kevin is also here to chat about his new comic Toxic Man, which is available on his website. (linked above)

Rafer Roberts and Mike Norton have been working together for a long time and you can see it in their super fun and entertaining comics. The duo return for more hi-jinx in The Rock Gods of Jackson, Tennessee, an original, all ages OGN from Dark Horse Comics. The Rock Gods of Jackson, Tennessee is a semi-autobiographic tale that tells the heartwarming coming-of-age story of four high school outcasts who start a band to gain fame and popularity…but have to defend their hometown from a hungry horde of monsters instead. It’s The Archies meets Stranger Things and it soun...

There are many things we, as the Word Bros enjoy. Ice cream, puppy dogs, a fire on a brisk fall evening, and Pink Lemonade. Not the tasty summer drink but the amazingly original comic created by cartoonist Nick Cagnetti.

Nick and the Bros chat about the exhaustion involved in promoting your comic, the origins of Pick Lemonade, and the awesomeness that is Spider-Man Unlimited. If you’re a fan of Booster Gold or Mike Allred’s Madman, this is the book for you.

Can we still say “Happy New Year” if it’s the end of January? Let’s hope so!

Happy New Year.

We are back with our first episode of 2023 and it was well worth the wait.

Don Cardenas is one of the good ones. Through his podcast, Comic-Coffee-Metal podcast, Don is doing the work providing a platform for creators. Don is a loving husband and father to his two wonderful children. He is also one helluva an artist.

Those skills are on display in his new book Evie and the Helsings, which is...

There are many things to admire about Caleb, one of them being his outstanding mustache. Over the past two years, Caleb has been perfecting his Kickstarter campaigns with data farmed from his newsletter. The dude is a genius. It’s like Money Ball for comics. Data is nice but it also helps that Caleb has been pumping out great books. His latest Kickstarter campaign continues his long running series Vampire Detective in Space, I mean, with a title like that how can he lose?

VDIS tells the tale of well, an American Civil War era vampire working as...

Jamie Jones is one of the best dudes in comics. We met Jamie at Heroes Con in 2018, and being a fan of classic pulp tales like Tarzan and Princesses of Mars, we were instantly drawn to his work. Looking at the Baboon, you’re transported to comics of a different era. Dashing ,vibrant heroes battling ruthlessly evil villains with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. It’s good stuff.

The Baboon is back with a brand new 94-page OGN entitled The Temple of Eternal Life. If that title doesn’t get you, I don’t know wha...
