A Talk with Cullen Bunn

2022/04/18

Editor's Note: Chris sat on this episode for way too long. It's embarrassing how long actually. But it's still good so you still get to hear it. Some people are just good at writing stories. Like really good. Those are the kinds of people I want to pick the brains of. Or in the case of horror writers, maybe steal the brains of and see if I can get those brains to do some work for me. This time we have Cullen Bunn, one of the current masters (in my opinion) of writing for comics. Listen in as we see

We're just not going to escape aliens at all are we? You know, for a comic that I'm not sure even existed sometimes there sure are a ton of games to go with it. It certainly helps that there's a spin off movie (that's vaguely related) with a spin off cartoon (that's vaguely related to the movie but oddly kind of closer to the comics). Yup we're talking about Men in Black again. This time with Tristan Johnson from It’s (Probably) Not Aliens and Step Back History as we take a look at Men in

Wolverine's Rage with Didge (Geekset Podcast)

2022/04/03

Wolverine is everywhere and there's nothing we can do about it because he's popular and makes money for Marvel and why wouldn't they keep using a character that's popular partly because he's used so much and always in front of consumer's faces? That's what we explore this week with Didge from Geekset Podcast. Listen in as we discuss the prevalence of Wolverine and some surprising omissions from the villains in the Game Boy Color game Wolverine's Rage. Be sure to visit Jay & Miles X-Plain the

Internet people like their cats, there's no doubt about that. So of course cats get put into their creative projects as well. Which makes it really fun when you get to mix cats with witches and wizards and card games. Especially when the real life cats decide that those silly humans need some feline help making sure everything comes out just right. Listen in as Lydia and David Sherrer join the show to talk about their Kickstarter game Cat Magic, based off of Lydia's Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus

Sword adventures are always cool. Especially when you actually get character development stuff with it and great art and a wonderfully written story and looks let's face it we're looking at a cool comic today that you can still catch relatively early and I'm just excited to get to share it with y'all. Good thing we have Zoe Tunnell, writer of Blade Maidens, to help calm me down. Except that's a big lie because she's super excited to tell y'all about it as well. So yeah, this is going to be

Blade 2 with Adam Reck (Battle of the Atom)

Movie tie in games get fun. Do you have someone play the movie and they know everything that should be happening? Or do you have a movie tie in game that tries to go beyond the movie and risk making something that people don't like? And does it matter if it's a super successful everyone in the world has seen it movie vs more of a niche film? We're taking a stab at those questions and more when Adam Reck from Battle of the Atom stops by the show to talk Blade 2 for the PS2 and Xbox. Learn such things

Time to get this one out of the way. This podcast exists because of X-Men. The most requested game for people to be a guest for are X-Men games. Specifically it's this one. What some people would say is "the perfect X-Men game" and I've heard this from many many people. Listen in as Zack Jenkins from ComicxXF comes to finally talk about the game that everyone has been waiting for. X-Men Legends 2. Learn such things as: Is an N-Gage ever worth it?

Pocus Hocus with Allen Dunford

2022/02/20

We all know the basic story. Kid has troubled relationship with father. Kid wants to win father's approval. Kid sells soul to a demon in order to get the ability to impress said father. Sometimes the fun isn't in figuring out where the story is going, it's in figuring out how the story is going to get there. That's why we have Allen Dunford here to help take a look at this Faustian tale of woe, promises, and what it takes to twist a deal to be in your favor no matter what. And while you're at it,

Digimon World with Michael Shea (The Basement Lounge)

Eventually we had to take a look at the world of kids and little monsters that fight. For a lot of people this was their first foray into the world of manga and anime. But we didn't know that, and we probably wouldn't have cared at all if we did. There were kids just like us that got to play around with these amazing creatures that we all wish we could have as a pet. That's right, we're talking Digimon with Michael Shea from The Basement Lounge about that show I definitely didn't try to make you

Forgotten Home with Erica Schultz

2022/02/06

Some of my favorite stories are the ones where I'm plopped into a new world and have to figure things out with the characters. Ones where you're not spoon fed all the information and get exposition that makes sense or have it outside of the story itself (ie footnotes or something). And putting it with a story about extended wars from other worlds and people trying to escape so their family doesn't get caught up in it without an escape? Yeah go ahead and sign me up for that. Erica Schultz has that

Quick, what's the most important part of a comic? Trick question, because everything is important and this wouldn't be the art form that we love if it all wasn't there. We've got Taylor Esposito here to let us in on some of that sweet sweet behind the scenes stuff that people don't always get to know about. Learn such things as: How important is hand lettering these days? What's the worst letter to write? Is it worth it to dwell on your past work when you have so much stuff ahead of you? And so

Nubia and the Amazons with Stephanie Williams

2022/01/23

One of the best things about comics is that things can sit in the background for years before they become important. Maybe it's just a throwaway line about an adventure some characters had. Maybe it's something as silly as a character not liking carrots and then 10 years later it's the crux of a story line. Or maybe, just maybe, it's taking a character that's been kind of stuck in the shadows and putting them in a position not only to get some of the spotlight, but also to bring other things out

It sucks that we live in a world where I have to be excited that something like The Color of Always exists. But we do, and I'm excited because more people need to see themselves in comics. Plus, like we say at least 57 gajillions times in the episode, the art is just beautiful. You don't have to take my word for it though. Brent Fisher and Michele Abounader can back me up on this one.

Alright I promise that this isn't a Legacy Comix podcast. Although I can see where some people might think that. But let's get real Legacy is doing some great things right off the rip, and I couldn't pass up the chance to talk to them again and get a different perspective from someone that isn't Patrick. This time we've got John Svedese here to spill the beans on what's going on, and we recorded it after the Kickstarter campaign started so there's none of this nebulous "if things get

The Space Adventure with Nick Weaver

Sometimes calling something a game is a rather strong use of the word. Especially when you're looking at it through American eyes. Double especially back in the early to mid 1990s when we just didn't really have the concept of visual novels over here. Listen in as Nick Weaver, creator of the Thumbles comic on Webtoon, joins the show to help take a look at a portion of the gaming medium that we didn't have much context for based on a manga that we also didn't have much context for over on this side

Wheel of Time Wiki with Brett (The Wheel Weaves)

Sometimes books don't have pictures. Or rather they have a few pictures that can't in any way be considered a comic. But that doesn't mean that those books are any less complicated than the art form we love over here at Play Comics. And with that comes a way for people to actually look things up without worrying about getting spoiled. Enter Spliki, the spoiler free wiki. I finally made the name connection while I was writing these show notes because I'm a dummy. Good thing we have Brett from The

Writing comics and making games is fun and all, but don't you want other people to see them? You can probably <strike>sucker</strike> get friends to look at them but I have a feeling your dreams are bigger than just the people you know in real life. But how can you pull that off?
