Welcome to a new chapter as we launch our first official Orca Comics Pod. As John so eloquently put in the pre-show, "Same poop, different scoop." You're still gonna get the same fun-loving banter and takes from the crew, just with a new title.

This week we talk Spider-Man Brand New Day. It has been one of the better Marvel movies as of late and a top tier street level Spider-Man story and a little bit of extra zest with Jean being introduced and Frank Castle being thrown in the mix as well.

We also briefly touch on the upcoming Con in Alameda on August 30th, the Cape and Cowl at Faction Brewing as well. The whole gang will be there if y'all are in the Bay Area then, you should swing by. 11am-6pm. Free Admission!! https://www.capeandcowlcomics.com/cape-and-cowl-con

And, last but not least, Lanterns on HBO Max which premiers Aug 16th at 9pm. This is gonna be a great series (we hope), and it definitely has the actors and feel of a gritty Green Lantern show.

As always, we really appreciate your support and hope you continue to join us on this wild wave.

Three dudes talk about cool shit in regards to art, comics, movies, pop culture, and a menagerie of other goodies. We will sing our praises of what we love, and might touch on a few things that left us feeling a little meh.

John Hageman started his professional comics career in 2006 with his weekly webcomic Social Vermyn, which ran until 2013. In 2015, Hageman began co-publishing the Rock and Roll Biographies comic series with ACME Ink. This led to the creation of 10 Ton Press which focuses on creator-owned comic book projects including Charley & Humphrey, The RNR series, and Becoming Frankenstein.

Manuel Martinez was born of immigrant parents, educated by the public system and dedicated to art, lead to becoming an incredible concept artist, comic book illustrator, and artist for hire. He works as a concept artist during the day, and is an integral part of the 10 Ton Press family.

Kirk Visola is the Creative Director and Founder of his design company, MIND THE FONT™. He on occasion will lend his design chops to help with layouts, graphics, and even sometimes a little druuuuwing of his own.

Comic Con was a blast. We talk about that, vibing with folks, and Kirk discovering his true talent, drawing otters.

Too much to detail here, so just listen.

(Actually, Kirk is just being lazy and doesn't feel like writing anything up)

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord really set the tone for a universe that is grand in its vision, execution, and storytelling. We touch on other animated series like before, but we also began to scratch the surface of our resident Star Wars Sommelier John.

He gives us some very keen and delightful insight into where he felt the series was going (recorded before the final episodes came out) and how he sees it moving forward.

We also delve into the idea of how even with superb animation, the storytelling aspect of any movie must also be good. Of course, there are nuggets of other shows and comics that we love...and Batman. Dammit, it always comes back to that guy, and we LOVE it!
