Comic Book Yeti's Cryptid Creator Corner- A Comic Book Interview Podcast

Zack is back! Zack Kaplan that is, and this time I managed to steal him away from Byron to talk about his and Chris Shehan's newest series Mad Cave Studios Dark Empty Void. This first issue reminded me a bit of The Abyss (which is one of my favorite movies) so I can't wait to see where the rest of the series goes.  We also talked about Kill All Immortals, issue #3 is coming out September 25th, the...

I’m joined by a new guest on the show hanging out with me today, Jason Loo. Jason is a Toronto based Eisner Award winner and a Harvey Award nominee with credits on both sides of the isle as an artist and a writer with creator owned projects The Pitiful Human-Lizard, Afterlift, and The All Nighter and although he’s no newcomer to Marvel, he is tackling not one but two series out this fall with Were...

I'm joined today by newcomer on the show Max Hoven. I was first introduced to his work a few years ago with It Eats What Feeds It and Max is back at it again with the same creative team, co-writer and friend Aaron Crow and artist Gabriel Iumazark, with a fantastic cyberpunk horror project called Liquid Kill which has been described as Ghost In The Shell meets John Wick. The first six issues are in...

As one comic ends another begins! Shane Connery Volk is on the Cryptid Creator Corner today to discuss the end of Nottingham and the beginning of Prairie Gods: Race the Devil, which hits your local comic shop on September 4th. We talk about his journey since being named one of the winners of the Mad Cave Talent Search in 2019, his nearly 20 years with the Canadian rock band One Bad Son and what re...

I’m always excited about getting to talk to comics creators about their projects but today I’m ecstatic. Not only do I get returning guest Pornsak Pichetshote back on the show, who is one of the nicest people in the medium, but it’s a double treat to get to introduce artist Terry Dodson on as well. They have an amazing project dropping soon called the Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian with Image...

WOW! On Today's Comic Book Yeti Cryptid Creator Corner it's not just one guest, or two guests, but three amazing guests to talk about the current Kickstarter campaign for My Neighbor Necromancer #2. I'm chatting with writer Dillon Gilbertson, artist Jason Piperberg and colorist Luca Romano. I loved issue #1 and am excited for the follow-up. We chat a lot about issue #1 including some of the amazin...

He's baaaaack! Travis Gibb makes his long-awaited return to the podcast to talk about Cthulhu Invades Fairy Tales.

Today is a special treat because I've got Eisner nominated, Ringo winning, and New York Times Bestselling cartoonist Sarah Andersen on the show with me to talk about her new book Adulthood Is A Gift. The new project has over 100 illustrations and 15 personal essays about her work and some of the challenges she's faced along the way. Sarah was kind enough to carve out a little time to catch me up o...

One of the best things, if not the number one best thing about, about doing the Comic Book Yeti Cryptid Creator Corner podcast, is making new comic book friends, and boy oh boy did Austin Allen Hamblin and I hit it off in our conversation about Big Guns Stupid Rednecks. Austin talks about his life in Iowa and what led to his love of comics. His newest comic, BGSR, is out August 28th from Band of B...

Today I’m joined by comics writer Joe Casey. Joe’s comics cv includes writing for big Marvel properties like Cable and the X-Men, Automatic Kafka for Wildstorm, Wildcats, Superman for DC, or the Eisner Nominated Godland.

I'm so excited to launch my new series Let's Talk Shop on the Cryptid Creator Corner podcast. My first three jobs, not including mowing lawns, were in comic book shops and the community and friendships I made there have lasted a lifetime. Dropping once a month, this new project is designed to take you inside the lives and minds of comic book shop owners and employees around the world. We are start...

Matt McGrath is on the podcast today talking about his current Kickstarter campaign for ID-10t Error issues #1-3. This is the complete series! I've read issues #1 and #2 and am a fan of what Matt calls "the pettiest revenge story of all time". Issue #3 looks to be the culmination of Bradley's struggle against the AI robot he created. Matt and I discuss the series as a whole, his talented collabora...

One of my favorite people in the comics business returns to the show today, Ryan Claytor. Ryan is a professor who teaches comics studio courses at Michigan State University and he's on a book tour promoting his 260 page hardcover retrospective on 20 years as an illustrator/cartoonist/tinkerer, One Bite At A Time. There's no other way to encapsulate all the varied mediums Ryan has played in over th...

I love being able to invite folks on the podcast that I've worked with before so today is a real treat for me.

Buddy is working with artist Christopher Sassman and colorist Allison Hu. Buddy and I chat about the developme...

Then, on August 7th, Cruel Universe #1, a collection of science-fiction stories. I had the good fortune of chatting with Hunter Gorinson, President and Publisher at Oni Press, alo...

How does a sapphic motorcycle romance sound to you? Let me tell you, it's pretty fantastic. Cryptid Creator Corner veteran and comics writer/illustrator Fellhound returns to the show for the first time since she helped us host the first annual Comic Book Yeti ICE or Indy Comics Excellence Awards show. Today, we are diving into her new five issue mini-series S.I.R. from Boom Studios. S.I.R. or Seis...

We have something a little different on today's Cryptid Creator Corner, but I think it's a conversation you are really going to enjoy. I'm chatting with Aaron Waltke, the Co-Executive Producer and Co-Head Writer for Season Two of Star Trek: Prodigy, which is available now on Netflix. I have been a fan of Star Trek for as long as I can remember. Star Trek: The Next Generation started when I was 8 y...

I'm joined today by Eisner nominated comedian, podcaster, and comics writer Jordan Morris on the show today. Jordan has an hilarious new graphic novel coming out called Youth Group with First Second Books. I grew up in the church so reading this was a bit of a release for me having grown up in the Satanic Panic era in the 80s and early 90s. With an obvious analog to Buffy, demon hunting is often p...

On this episode of Comic Book Yeti's Cryptid Creator Corner we welcome David Hazan back to the podcast.

The wait is over, it's been a long time coming but I have returning guests Eric Grissom and Will Perkins back on the show with me today to talk about the next volume of their middle grade fantasy series Goblin: The Wolf and the Well from Dark Horse Comics. Goblin was my nominee way back when for Exceptional Kids Comic or Graphic Novel on our first annual Comic Book Yeti Ice (Indy Comics Excellence...

I'm stoked about today's episode because we're going to talk about the transection of two big storytelling mediums in my life, comics and wrestling. In what seems like a former life, I was a production assistant for WCW and nobody was more colorful and with so much mythology surrounding them as the luchadores. So, it is with great pleasure that I welcome Diego Valenzuela on with me. Diego is the H...

"Flash. A-ah. Saviour of the Universe." I remember the first time I saw the movie Flash Gordon. I had already seen Star Wars and Star Trek, but this seemed even stranger, bolder. And that Queen soundtrack! I was in love. Now, Mad Cave Studios are introducing Flash Gordon to a new comic book audience with the all-star team of Jeremy Adams and Will Conrad. Issue #1 hits your LCS on July 24th and I j...

I think these 2 creators may be the first siblings we've had on the podcast, but more than that, they lived in DELCO for a time! I couldn't be happier to chat with Maria Hoey and Peter Hoey about In Perpetuity, their most recent graphic novel published by Top Shelf Productions. In Perpetuity is a retelling of the Orpheus myth set in a timeless Los Angeles with very strong classic noir vibes. I abs...
