This week, Tony is joined by the hardest working man in comics, coming at you live from across the pond, Mr. Max Byrne. Vertigo comics was in 1993 to publish stories with more graphic or adult content, which did not fit within the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority by the legendary Karen Berger. While technically part of the DC comics family, Vertigo was left alone to bring us some of the most memorable comics of all time including this week’s selection. Y: The Last Man, winner of three Eisner Awards and one of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling comic books series of the last decade, is that rare example of a page-turner that is at once humorous, socially relevant and endlessly surprising. Written by Brian K. Vaughan (Lost, Pride of Baghdad, Ex Machina) and with art by Pia Guerra, this is the saga of Yorick Brown—the only human survivor of a planet-wide plague that instantly kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome. Accompanied by a mysterious government agent, a brilliant young geneticist and his pet monkey, Ampersand, Yorick travels the world in search of his lost love and the answer to why he's the last man on earth.

This week Tony is joined by the host of Genuine Chit Chat and Star Wars Comics in Cannon, Mike Burton to have a long talk about Ahoy comics’ Second Coming. Second Coming focuses on Jesus being sent back to Earth to live with a superhero to learn how to be a bit more vengeful.  Tony and Mike have a long talk not just about Second Coming, but organized religion as well. There is no way to have a conversation about this series without having that conversation as well. Ahoy Comics is an American comic book publisher. It was founded in 2018 by publisher Hart Seely, editors Tom Peyer and Stuart Moore, and chief creative officer Frank Cammuso. At its launch, Ahoy sought to distinguish itself from other comics publishers by including additional "backup material" in each periodical issue, such as prose and poetry features.[1][2] Following DC Comics' decision not to publish the announced limited series Second Coming by Mark Russell and Richard Pace due to creative differences over the controversial subject matter – it features Jesus Christ in the context of a superhero universe – the series was announced for publication by Ahoy.[5][6] If you want to talk with Tony about comics or to suggest any future shows, please connect with him on Twitter @Tricycleboombox.

Each week on Indie Comic Spotlight Tony Farina of DC Comics News will be joined by other comic aficionados to do a deep dive into a series or standalone graphic novel from any publisher other than the big two.

The book we are covering this week is Top Cow’s Paradox Girl Written by Cayti Elle Bourquin with art from Yishan Li. In 2016, Cayti and Yishan with some help from Hanako games launched a Kickstarter to get Paradox Girl off the ground. I was sadly not one of the supporters as I missed that launch. The good news was they met their goals and PG was eventually picked up by Top Cow, a division of Image Comics in May of 2019 when the first six issues were released. PG is a woman out of time and space. She lives in Cityoplis, works with Axiom Man and has a love for an outdated banana flavored waffle, Waffos.

I’m your host Mike Burton - you may know me from the Genuine Chit-Chat podcast and for being the one with the abundance of Star Wars facts in the collaboration between Comics In Motion, 20th Century Geek & Genuine Chit-Chat in the journey to the Rise Of Skywalker! This release is just to outline what you can expect from these Saturday-slotted episodes on Comics In Motion’s fine feed – it’s for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (I’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon!  Essentially, I’ll be doing an episode each week about a character, an event, a series of comics or something similar, talking about which comics are worth checking out, general plot points from them as well as some trivia and news – this show is recommended for those who have seen all 9 episodes of Star Wars as well as Solo & Rogue One. If you’ve seen Clone Wars & Rebels too, that helps but is definitely not a requirement.  In this episode I also explain what Canon & Legends means in Star Wars, what the calendar regarding the battle of Yavin (BBY/ABY) means, a timeline of all current movies & series, a brief overview of what The High Republic era is, as well as giving a general overview on the comics/episodes to come.  The first “proper” episode will be releasing shortly and I am more than happy to take any & all criticism or notes to ensure this is the best podcast it can be, so if you have any questions, pointers or just fancy a chat, send me an email at [email protected]! I am the host of a podcast called Genuine Chit-Chat where I speak with a different guest each week about a wide array of topics where no subject is off limits – GCC can be listened to in the same place you’re listening to this show, so there’s not excuse not to check it out!  Chris & Dave were on episodes 63 & 75 of GCC and Mike was on episodes 75 & 100 of Comics In Motion!

Each week on Indie Comic Spotlight Tony Farina of DC Comics News will be joined by other comic aficionados to do a deep dive into a series or standalone graphic novel from any publisher other than the big two. Today, Tony is joined by DC Comics News and Dark Knight News owner Damian Fasciani.

A technologist at heart who works out every day, has a huge amount of Spotify playlists, loves Aussie Rules Football, and have a lot of Batman shirts! Yes, I love the Batman and Green Arrow. My Children are my world! Love them with everything I have.” On this week’s show we cover the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an American comic book by Mirage Studios released at the New Hampshire comic con1984. Originally conceived by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird as a one-off parody, the comic's popularity has gone on to inspire a major pop culture franchise, including television series, five feature films, numerous video games and a wide range of toys and merchandise. The Turtles have moved from Mirage to Image, back to Mirage and now find a home at IDW. We are breaking protocol a bit this week because Damian is such a DC super fan. Because this is an indie show, the thing that made the most sense was to invite him on for a cross over so this week we spend a lot of time talking about the first TMNT/Batman crossover.
