Welcome to another edition of the AIPT Comics Podcast featuring reviews, news, and more!
This week, Ram V joins the show to unpack DC Comics’ new series, The New Gods. With Ram V at the helm (along with artist Evan Cagle), The New Gods has been reimagined, bringing new depth and emotion to the iconic myth. As a father, author, and storyteller drawn to themes of heritage and humanity, Ram V shares how he brings a fresh perspective to this tale of gods and mortals. In this exclusive conversation, he discusses the various themes that drive his vision, from the nuances of fatherhood to the fascination with mythology and the scale of the universe.
