In this episode of Black Geek Energy, we’re joined by award-winning comic book writer and returning guest Jordan Clark—the brilliant mind behind Samurai Sonja, Aquaman, and now his brand-new creator-owned series, Ancestral Recall.

We dive deep into the inspiration behind Ancestral Recall, a supernatural detective story that explores memory, legacy, and Black identity through a thrilling mystery. Jordan shares his writing process, his thoughts on Black representation in comics, and what it means to create stories that center us as heroes—not sidekicks.

We also chop it up about the current state of comics, how his podcast White People Won’t Save You flips the script on Hollywood narratives, and what it’s like being a Black creator navigating mainstream and indie publishing.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Black superheroes, into indie comics, or just want to hear a dope creative drop gems, this episode is for YOU.
