Here we go with the latest episode of We Talk Comics with Mo, Brett and Keith in our annual Small Press spotlight Sponsored by top notch independent publisher ComixTribe (to win a ComixTribe Prize Pack including a beautiful Oxymoron Hardcover as featured on Kickstarter and Scam T-Shirt simply email comics@wetalkpodcasts.com with the subject header Listener Appreciation). Diamond distribution for THE RED TEN begins in December so be sure to ask your local comic shop to stock this retelling of Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None featuring a cast of super-heroes in place of the ten little soldiers.
In addition to an independent comics spin on the Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (from sponsor COMICOSITY) this show features a full-length interview with Image Comics writer Kurtis J Wiebe. Kurtis had a busy year with the on-going series PETER PANZERFAUST as well as the mini-series DEBRIS and GRIM LEAPER. We talk to Kurtis about the ups and downs of creator owned in the current marketplace and the bold promise that he and his co-creator Tyler Jenkins have made that PETER PANZERFAUST will continue “no matter what.”
You can try some of Kurtis’ work for free on ComiXology: PETER PANZERFAUST #1 and GRIM LEAPER #1
