Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you stream your favorite comic book podcasts 🎧

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Joining us today are the co-writers of the Jewish fantasy folklore THE WRITER with actor/co-writer @realjoshgad.bsky.social & artist Ariel Olivetti over at @darkhorse.com ✡️✍️ It is our pleasure to welcome @benberkowitz.bsky.social & Max Berkowitz onto The Oblivion Bar Podcast!

“Being the hero, there is no higher calling.” Next week on The Oblivion Bar Podcast *

Did you guys get anything good for #FreeComicBookDay?

Today on the pod we're joined by the hosts of The Oblivion Bar Podcast, Chris Hacker and Aaron Knowles! We're discussing Wonder Woman: Dead Earth with story & art by Daniel Warren Johnson @oblivionbarpodcast.com @betteractions.bsky.social @chacker41.bsky.social @danielwarrenart.bsky.social

LOOK AT OUR BOY!!!!! 💥💥💥 @betteractions.bsky.social was the central focus on the most recent episode of The Civvies Podcast through MetroStar! In this episode, Stephanie & Aaron discuss Aaron’s 20-year career in the Army, Shred the Stress, & his recent transition from service to civilian life 🇺🇸

Be on the lookout for this conversation dropping at the end of the month 🎧

Finally got to chat with THE MAN himself @curtpires.bsky.social this evening about his upcoming procedural fantasy series Lost Fantasy with artist @lucacasalanguida.bsky.social over at @imagecomics.com ⚔️ 🔍

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Here is a bonus (unedited) episode where we discuss the wildly successful adaptation of one of the most important game franchises of all-time: A #Minecraft Movie 🪓 💎 Is it good? No. But is it fun? Also no. But do people like it? YES!!!

Hot take (perhaps): pull-quotes from other comic book creators on your book does less than comic journalists. I’m not saying we (The OBP) are journalists, because we definitely are not—and I’m not saying we should ever be on the back of a book, but our peers definitely do.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Joining us this week is the writer of the upcoming @imagecomics.com series FREE PLANET—a geopolitical space opera that tells the tale of the first completely free planet in human history 🪐 It is our pleasure to welcome @aubreysitterson.com onto The Oblivion Bar Podcast!

FOC is April 14th! Pre-order this first issue NOW.

*Aubrey explains complex geopolitics to a couple smooth brains* Here is a still from the wonderful conversation was just had with comic book writer @atlantisstillsunk.com about his & @jebriodo.bsky.social upcoming space epic FREE PLANET from @imagecomics.com. Full interview drops TOMORROW 🎧

Be on the lookout for that conversation dropping in the next couple of weeks 🎧

Had an EXCELLENT chat with retired Air Force Colonel & comic book writer Matt Yocum last night about the correlation between nerd-culture & enlisted military members, how Matt broke into comics, & his recent YA OGN ClostWorld, which was both co-written & dedicated to his late brother Richard.

I always struggle between clapping back at trolls & just blocking them. There are too many neckbeards out there that are either willing to (without context or merit) trash something out of sprite/jealously or out right steal that work & claim it as their own. This is a rough time to be a creative.

Listen wherever you stream your favorite comic book podcasts 🎧

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 We're joined by @patrickhorvath.bsky.social, comic book creator of 'Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees' at @idwpublishing.bsky.social & the upcoming 'Free For All' one-shot at @oni-press.bsky.social, which delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism in the not so distant future.

Recaptured a grail today. Never letting this one go again!
