Welcome to AIPT Comic Podcast Episode 337! This week we are always joined by insightful and imaginative Christian wards. Here we’re talking from his upcoming first part comic event Horizon: Dark Descent #1, August 20th, from IDW. Ward delves deeper into why Event Horizon has plagued his imagination since he first saw it in theaters, how he expanded the lore of cult horror sci-fi classics, and why this isn’t just a one-off story. He’s making something big. He also chats about Gore, Dread, character trauma, and comic book characters he wants to ride the horizon of the event.
Plus, as always, we review this week’s favorite comics and recreate the biggest comic book news you won’t want to miss. Let’s get into it!
You can find it on streaming the AIPT comic podcasts below or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or where you can get the podcasts.
