New Interviews: Comic Book Couples Counseling & Radio Free Krypton
I had the pleasure of sitting down for two great interviews, both of which aired this week:
First off I had a truly fantastic time chatting with my colleague Michael Tanner and the hosts of Comic Book Couples Counseling about Orcs in Space! Lisa and Brad have been such amazing boosters of this title from the beginning, and we had a great discussion about the series, the upcoming Volume 2 (out April 27th!), and the future of the series, and they had some really nice things to say about our series:
“For us, Orcs in Space jumped immediately into our hearts, and we’ve folded it into our core philosophy. You can consume it exclusively for its mayhem and gags, but you’ll scrape into a passionate plea for human (or sentient) connectivity if you pierce just below its surface. Twelve issues will certainly satisfy as the previous eight issues have already done so, but we don’t want this trek to end with one season.”
You can listen to the episode here. I’ve been digging into all the rest of the Comic Book Couples Counseling episodes, including a recent interview with Chris Samnee, and I’ve been loving it! Lisa and Brad, a married couple, do a fantastic job, they dive deep into their subjects, and naturally the banter is off the charts, so make sure you check out the podcast and subscribe!
Next up I did a nice, in-depth dive into TITAN over on Radio Free Krypton. My interview with Jacob and Justin over is now up an on the air (it even went out on the radio airwaves on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto!). We talk all about my book TITAN, my efforts to integrate into francophone culture here in Montréal, my love of Caetano Veloso and Tropicalia, code switching, collaborating Orcs in Space, and much much more… Honestly we get a lot into just 30 minutes! Had a fantastic time talking with these dudes, it turns out this is the penultimate episode of the show, but I very much recommend digging into the Radio Free Krypton back catalogue if you wanna do a deep dive into Canadian comics and creators!
