In Episode 620, Patrick Lay from Dark Horse’s upcoming Death Strikes: The Emperor of Atlantis graphic novel along with a holiday tradition!   Patrick and I talk about this timely and timeless original graphic novel from him as artist and journalist Dave Maas, due in bookstores on January 23 and in comics shops on January 24. It’s described this way: “From 1941 to 1945, the Nazis operated a concentration camp called Terezín (or Theresienstadt) 30 miles outside Prague in what is modern-day Czech Republic. The former fortress town was home to many Jewish artists, writers, musicians, dramatists, actors, and other intellectuals. More than 140,000 people passed through Terezín during the war, and while only a few thousand outlived the Nazi regime, a vast amount of their writings, compositions and artworks survived to tell their stories. This graphic novel is based on one of these works, Peter Kien and Viktor Ullmann’s opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis, which Kien and Ullmann did not live to see performed. Through satire and fantasy, the narrative presents many lessons for modern society on war and technology, but its greatest lesson is that none of us must ever forget that beauty and humor can be found even in the face of doom.” We discuss how this book came to be, what else Patrick is working on, and the importance of this story for today’s world.   Then everything wraps up with my annual holiday tradition, playing the audio from ‘Twas the Dark Knight Before Christmas! You can see the video at this link!

The final epilogue depicts another Mayan Warrior contacting a mysterious figure known as the Son of the Feathered Serpent. The warrior notifies the Feathered Serpent that the assassination attempt has failed.

This week in Episode #613, I talk with Travis Horseman from Pythia: The Last Oracle and Jordan Thomas with The Man From Maybe! Pythia: The Last Oracle is a four-issue comic miniseries from Travis Horseman, who has brought us Amiculus: A Secret History, Sugar Creek, and In Noctem. This book, which has a Kickstarter project going on until Friday, November 17, at 11:59 p.m. EDT, is described this way: “The Pythia, Apollo’s Oracle of Delphi, must use her last prophecy to save the world, even if it means killing the god she serves.” We talk about how this series came to be, who the various characters are, and what we can expect from Travis in the coming months! Then everything wraps up with my interview with Jordan Thomas, who recently released the debut issue of The Man From Maybe, which is published by Oni Press. It’s described this way: "This is a two-fisted, 48-page injection of post-apocalyptic postmodernism!” Jordan is the scripter and creator of this big, pulpy adventure, so we explore how this three-issue miniseries came to be, who the various characters are, and what we might expect from it in the coming months! Be sure to let your local comics shop know you want this excellent comics title!
