  • Jordan Morris talks Youth Group

    Jordan Morris talks Youth Group
    Jul 19 2024
    I'm joined today by Eisner nominated comedian, podcaster, and comics writer Jordan Morris on the show today. Jordan has an hilarious new graphic novel coming out called Youth Group with First Second Books. I grew up in the church so reading this was a bit of a release for me having grown up in the Satanic Panic era in the 80s and early 90s. With an obvious analog to Buffy, demon hunting is often portrayed as dark and brooding or requiring tons and tons of magical weaponry and while there are weapons here, it’s less about that and more about the found family we acquire along the way of finding ourselves and solidifying, or not, what we believe in those tough transitional teenage years. It's a lighthearted approach to poking fun at the structures of religion while, in my mind, managing to embrace faith as still a positive and personal thing. I really enjoyed it, after all, who doesn't love to exorcise Smash Mouth. If you are interested in learning more, make sure to visit bit.ly/youthgroupbook or Jordan's website. From the publisher When cynical, gothy Kay lets her mom talk her into joining the youth group at their church, she's prepared for the dorky sing-alongs and the cheesy slogans about dodging temptation. What she isn't prepared for is walking in on the clean-cut youth group leaders, Meg and Cortland, in the middle of a real-deal exorcism. Turns out these wholesome Christian teens are demon-hunting soldiers in a secret war that’s heating up fast, and even if Kay wanted to stay on the sidelines, she doesn’t have a choice – she’s a “Blight,” a human who demons can’t possess, and that makes her a target. But Kay's in good hands with her new friends – for them, fighting literal demons is all in a Sunday’s work! Our episode sponsors After the Realm Don't miss Eisner and Harvey award winning comics creator Michael Avon Oeming's newest crowdfunding project After The Realm. With over 300 pages of material and 22 new pages of story, this graphic novel collects issues 1-5 of this realm trotting dystopian fantasy adventure that follows young ranger Oona Lightfoot's travels and travails trying to find her best friend as the nine realms are torn asunder.

    David Hazan talks Kosher Mafia
    Jul 17 2024
    On this episode of Comic Book Yeti's Cryptid Creator Corner we welcome David Hazan back to the podcast. David is here to discuss his newest Mad Cave Studios series Kosher Mafia with issue #1 hitting your LCS on August 7th. The series is written by David with artwork by Sami Kivela, colors by Ellie Wright, and lettered by Simon Bowland. Kosher Mafia takes place in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1936. It tells the story of Howard Berkowicz, the bookkeeper for the Jewish Mob who finds himself on the wrong end of an enforcer's gun when he tries to spur the Kosher Mafia into action against the rising tide of domestic Nazism in the German American Bund. David and I talk about his research into this time period for Kosher Mafia, Sami Kivela's incredible artwork, wrapping up Nottingham, and making unsafe choices, creatively speaking.

  • Eric Grissom and Will Perkins talk Goblin: The Wolf and the Well

    Eric Grissom and Will Perkins talk Goblin: The Wolf and the Well
    Jul 12 2024
    The wait is over, it's been a long time coming but I have returning guests Eric Grissom and Will Perkins back on the show with me today to talk about the next volume of their middle grade fantasy series Goblin: The Wolf and the Well from Dark Horse Comics. Goblin was my nominee way back when for Exceptional Kids Comic or Graphic Novel on our first annual Comic Book Yeti Ice (Indy Comics Excellence) Awards show and I was wondering how the duo would craft a follow up to what is one of my favorite fantasy comics ever, turns out, smashed it. The second installment finds our young goblin friend Rikt out of the wilds and in school alongside his trusty wolf companion Fishbreath. This is one you don't want to miss no matter how old you are. Get all the latest at realmofgoblin.com. From the publisher What would you sacrifice to protect the one you love? One dark and stormy night, Rikt meets a mysterious fortune teller in the woods. When she foresees his best friend, a wolf named Fish-breath, in mortal danger, he is overcome with a fear of losing her. When an opportunity to protect her presents itself, Rikt trades the freedom of the wild for the protection of Underwood—an orphanage for monster children and a sanctuary for wolves. Was his bargain worth the price? And what fate awaits the children who live there? Uncover the mystery in the thrilling sequel to Goblin.
