#108 FACTS 2018 Spring Interview: Chatting up LaFuente

We're back!

During FACTS 2018, we had the opportunity for a decent interview that turned into a deep diving conversation on all kinds of nerd and comics things, with David LaFuente, Spanish artist par exellence on titles like Ultimate Spider-Man & Archer & Armstrong.

Enjoy!

#107 FACTS 2018 Spring Panel - The Brian Azzarello Interrogation

Here is a rather unique opportunity: we have captured one of comics’ most notorious (and reportedly quite grumpy) writers and are about to to pick his brain. Known for frequent collaborations with 5-star artists (and past FACTS-guests) like Eduardo Risso and Lee Bermejo, Brian Azzarello is most closely associated with crime stories that break down the genre conventions like 100 Bullets or Joker and Luthor, but he hasn’t shied away from mainstream work on familiar characters like Spider-Man (though with a decidedly underworld slant) or Wonder Woman. He enjoys riling up fandom with Doctor 13 and Before Watchmen. Probably even earlier on with Hellblazer as well. Most recently, he finished DKR III The Master Race with Frank Miller and started mashing more genres together in Moonshine. Our spotlight is shining straight into his eyes and we demand answers to all our questions.

#105 FACTS Fall 2017 Panel: The Art of Inking

Finally, we're back!

And just in time too. There's a new con just on the horizon, so this one had to get out there.

My apologies for the poor audio quality at the start, it does improve markedly about 10 minutes in.

Panel members: Scott Williams, Mark Farmer and Julien Hugonard-Bert.

#104 FACTS Fall 2017: The Ted Naifeh interview

Recorded at the FACTS in October of 2017, this is an hour-long interview with famed writer/artist Ted Naifeh. I was joined by my good friend, scholar and Naifeh enthusiast Eva.

Ted is the author of Courtney Crumrin, Night’s Dominion, Gloom Cookie and Heroines. Come back soon for the final FACTS foray of 2017 as we officially welcome 2018 and start our own nerd academic year.

#103 FACTS Fall 2017: Wildstorm Memories with Scott Williams & Alex Sinclair

The second of 3 panels recorded at Fall 2017 FACTS. This was actually the last one recorded, the next one will the the first. Don't ask why, I'll tell no lies.

Scott Williams & Alex Sinclair, comics vets if ever there were any, talk at length about Image Comics, Wildstorm (and Homage) Studios, Jim Lee, the comics process and much, much more.

#102: FACTS Fall 2017: Sean Murphy Spotlight Panel "1,000,000 Moms Against tits!"

1,000,000 Moms Against tits!

A new FACTS-edition means new panels to glom onto!

For this new episode, Sean Murphy was gracious with both his time and insights into his comics, his art and his view on all things.

Aside from an interesting look at the scope of his career and some banter on the comics industry, there's a good chunk of discussion regarding his latest work: Batman: White Knight.

Enjoy the interview!

#100: Happy Dies!

Het was een emotioneel gegeven. Het was niet gemakkelijk om de mentale stabiliteit te vinden, maar het is eindelijk zover. Nummer honderd is een feit. Over grote nummers, kleine gebaren en comics. Nout onderbreekt iedereen en steekt een quasi eindeloze monoloog af, want Maarten begrijpt niks van verjaardagen. Het einde van één ding betekent misschien het begin van iets anders. Eén van deze pod-o-nauten hoor je nooit meer terug.
