Hey, guys! Been way behind on my listening, and finally listened to y'all answering my question. Lot of idea, lots of things I had heard of. Awesome! I wish I wasn't stuck with grading this semester's classes so I could start planning next semester!

hey guys! So Image just announced the addition of James Robinson, Emma Rios, and Brandon Graham to the Image Expo lineup; way excited, naturally. I'm already familiar with Emma (who's just about my favorite artist on the planet)and Graham (immense love for Prophet), but although i've heard James Robinson's name bandied about here and there, I can't say i'm familiar with his work. Care to help a brother out with a couple of choice suggestions?

He's most acclaimed for his run on DC's Starman, and I very much enjoyed the mini-series The Golden Age, and the current All-New Invaders (sadly coming to an end) is a fabulous read, too.

Hey Gang,
Just wanted to know if anyone is reading Death Vigil by Stjepan Sejic. I discovered this book and creator this year and both have rocketed to the top of my lists for favorite comic, writer and artist.
Sejic has been an artist on many Top Cow books (Witchblade, Aphrodite IX) for years, but I feel that this is his breakout year by adding writing to his credits. He's creating engaging characters as much with his writing as he's always done with his art. Aside from Death Vigil, he's also released Ravine, a fantasy GN co-written with Ron Mars and is releasing Sunstone, a romantic comedy/BDSM (who'd have thought!) GN at the end of the month.
If you haven't checked out his work, I highly recommend Death Vigil - issue 6 of the initial 8 issue run comes out this month. I really think that Sejic will be recognized as a major creator next year.

What are your thoughts of Marvel's return to Star Wars new #1 selling reportedly 1 million copies? Another mini bubble for a new decade or the best thing since the "Death" of Wolverine.

That's all to do with one of those loot crates I'm sure. Probably a couple of them. I'd be surprised if it "actually" sold over 150,000 copies. Either way, it kinda ruins the collectibility of it.

Agree about it not being collectable but if they are replacing the extended universe I want to know the new status quo

Loot crate sales are great. They go into the hands of people not usually going into a shop.

With the issue of transgender characters popping up in the most recent batgirl, It got me thinking about how transgender people are treated in comics. What transgender characters stick out in your mind? For me it has to be Wanda from Sandman. She's strong, independent and will do anything to protect her friend Barbie. Wanda was also proud of who she was and always did they right thing even if it came at her own expense. Ive only cried a few times reading a comic and one was when Wanda sacrificed herself to save Barbie. It was a act of love which made it more meaningful than your typical comic book death. And thats what Wanda stood for love, compassion and never letting the world bring you down. I'm sure the treatment in Batgirl issue was a innocent mistake but maybe the writers can learn from Wanda. Yours Truly, Huie Cox

The thing I don't get about that controversy is the character ISN'T transgender; he's a cross-dresser.

With the sony leaks illustrating that Spiderman joining the mcu being a strong possibility, Who would you cast as the new Spiderman? I think it would be smart for marvel to reach out to Donald Glover whos passionate about the character and very funny. Especially since marvel is more interested in established spiderman. I think casting a non white actor as peter parker or using Miles Morales would be smart. There are already an abundance of white straight males in the mcu and its getting ridiculous.-Huie Cox

I'd like to hear the group talk about the Sony leaks. Specifically, how to report on the leaks ethically.

As person who is just getting into comics I wanted to know what's a good place to start? As a kid I was a huge spider-man fan so I've already started to catch up on Spider-verse but I wasn't sure where to start with in other books like Batman for example.
