Welcome to the AIPT Comics podcasts, the biggest news, bold books, and our weekly guide to creators who shape today’s comics!
This week we’re breaking down the stack of headline grabbing announcements. Dan Mora assembles all the fighters in the DC Universe for the incredible DC KO #1 variant, Marvel unleashes all the smash Hulks, and the manufacturer’s return looms with the universe’s bravery that reaches December. We also saw Astonish, Ryan Stegman’s Age Coverage of Revelation, Corin Howell’s Lilith on the In progress, and Todd McFarlane teaming up with Steve Orlando in Dragula: Titans season 2.
Of course, we’ll share picks for this week’s top book, Kapow Moments, and next week’s most scheduled comics.
But the highlights of this week? An exclusive interview with Eisner Award-winning artist Mike Del Mundo. From breakthroughs on the X-Men heritage to surreal concept-driven covers, Mike opens up about his artistic evolution, iconic designs, and what fans can expect from this high-end celebration of his work. You still have a few days to support this project!
