Christian and Jimmy discuss Two-Face now that the series has wrapped, how Christian came to be involved in writing Dark Descent, the difficulties of writing a prequel story, and how they both want to hear from anyone that hasn't seen the movie yet what it's like reading the comic first and then watching the 1997 film.

In a nightmarish realm of torments beyond imagining, Captain Kilpack and the first crew of the Event Horizon must resist all manner of demonic forces including Paimon, the eyeless King of Hell, and their own descents into madness and bloodlust, if they've any chance of escaping back to their own world.

  • Phil Hester Interview - Gotham City: Year One

    Phil Hester Interview - Gotham City: Year One
    Jul 8 2025
    Legendary comic creator Phil Hester joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner to talk about his career in comics. Jimmy and Phil discuss some of his more recent work, like the excellent Gotham City: Year One with Tom King and the astounding Family Tree with Jeff Lemire. This is your chance to listen to a true master of his comic-making craft. It was also recently announced that Phil has teamed up with James Robinson for The Adventures of Lumen N. from Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse website⁠ ⁠Follow Phil Hester on Bluesky The Adventures of Lumen N. From Dark Horse The year is 1901 and our heroine Lumen is a precocious 13-year-old with many questions about her life. Why has her father been gone for years? Why must she learn so many languages and fighting techniques and what’s with all the lessons in seafaring? Then an attack on her home by a horde of steam-punk assassins delivers the first glimmer of an answer, when Lumen’s savior reveals himself as her grandfather, the legendary Captain Nemo, one of the greatest characters in Victorian science fiction literature. A brand-new world of steam-punk adventure and thrills is about to open up for Lumen as she connects with the grandfather she never knew while together they take on a cabal of evil masterminds, intent on world domination . . . a world full of heroes and villains from Victorian adventure and fantasy fiction. Out September 3rd from Dark Horse Comics Gotham City: Year One From the publisher There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That's about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the “kidnapping of the century” as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

  • Let's Talk Shop with Outsider Comics and Geek Boutique in Seattle, Washington

    Let's Talk Shop with Outsider Comics and Geek Boutique in Seattle, Washington
    Jul 7 2025
    Let's Talk Shop is back for Pride Month, slightly late, with comic book shop owner Wing from Outsider Comics and Geek Boutique in Seattle, Washington. This is one of the rare occasions on the show where I can say I've actually been in the shop and I love this one. Settled in the quirky Freemont neighborhood just north of downtown, the area is full of fantastic little proprietor owned storefronts. We wax nostalgic about the Theo Chocolate Factory that was one of the highlights on my visits to the area, how Outsider creates an inclusive atmosphere, why Seattle loves Magic The Gathering so much, the importance of keeping zine culture alive, some of Outsider's community philanthropic work with Books to Prisoners and The Lambert House, and so much more. The Seattle area will always be a home away from home to me so it was a delight to revisit my time in the area and hear all about the amazing work Outsider is doing there.
