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

Adam Barnhardt joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner to discuss his current Kickstarter campaign for Lost Sun #1. This issue continues the adventures of The Magnificent McCoys from SH*TSHOW, which was initially published by Scout Comics in 2020. Jimmy has been a big fan of SH*TSHOW from the very beginning and he and Adam jump into where this new series will find the McCoys. Adam discusses what...

Alex Segura returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner and there's so much to discuss. After finishing up writing duties on Star Wars: Battle of Jakku, Alex has taken over writing the main Star Wars title along with artist Phil Noto. Alex and Jimmy discuss Battle of Jakku and the challenge of weaving that in with the Aftermath trilogy, while also wanting to tell a compelling story and not just give fan...

I've been meaning to catch up with Eisner Winning comics writer and artist Michael Walsh (Universal Monsters:Frankenstein, Nullhunters) for some time on the show. As a big fan of his work on The Silver Coin, I was particularly excited about the news that he was working on a new project with James Tynion, and what a project this is. Exquisite Corpses is unlike anything else I've ever seen. It's an...

Recent Comic Book Yeti contributor and all-around swell gentleman, Luis Godoy, joins Jimmy to talk about his current Kickstarter for This Eternal Coil. Luis discusses how at first he didn't realize the story he was writing was so personal as he channeled tragedies in his life into his writing. In particular, Luis talks about the loss of his father in the same year his son was born. One of the thin...

Ben Morse joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner today to talk about Ben's newest Kickstarter campaign for COBALT CRISIS, as Ben tackles creating his own crossover event. If you aren't familiar with the world of We Are Scarlet Twilight, it's Ben's take on Golden Age Superheroes, but with a more modern sensibility and a city setting that looks heavily influenced by Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927)...

I’ve been thinking of stories as transportation lines recently, maybe that’s because I’ve been trying to catch up on some older Star Trek episodes lately and thinking about how transporters work too much, but there’s something fascinating about that idea of being transported from the physical space in which you reside and into the one fabricated in your mind especially when someone builds some ent...

Paul Carroll joins Jimmy on the podcast today to discuss the Kickstarter campaign for the 5th Limit Break Comics Anthology: Bump in the Night, which, and how cool is this, it's all about Cryptids! Limit Break has put out some amazing anthologies: Turning Roads, Down Below, Fractured Realms, and Wish Upon a Star. This newest anthology mashes up cryptids and ecological horror. Of course there's a Ye...

The team behind the excellent Finger Guns is back with a new series from Mad Cave Studios! Justin Richards and Val Halvorson team-up again for The Slasher's Apprentice. Issue #1 is out April 30th. This new series is quite a departure from the subject matter of Finger Guns, but no less compelling. Riley is obsessed with serial killers, but her obsession takes her beyond just podcasting about them....

Last time Gerry Duggan was on the show, we were talking about his photography project Timing/Luck and ironically what made me a fan of his work isn't The X-Men or any other of the of great titles and characters he's penned and developed over the years, what made me fall in love with it was a breakdancing skeleton named Walt. You might be asking yourself why that may be. A few years ago I lost one...

I've got a family history with moonshine. It started when I was a little kid riding around on my grandfather's tractor. He always had a half gallon Mayfield milk jug full of something or other he'd periodically take a swig from and, yes, more often than not the later on in the day it got, the more likely we were to end up in a ditch but that was all part of the fun of our time together. Later I le...

Johanna Taylor joins Jimmy on the podcast today to talk about The Ghostkeeper, her original graphic novel that came out in July 2024. Jimmy loved the premise of The Ghostkeeper so much he had to chat with Johanna about it. Now that he's read it and recorded the podcast he's been more devoted than ever around the Yeti Cave to convert others to readers. Johanna is an illustrator and artist with a BF...

Sometimes you just need a good diversion to distract you from the dumpster fire that is modern life and few things can immediately take you on the emotional rollercoaster like a good satirical dystopian narrative so I've got first time guest Alice Darrow on with me today to help me break down what is the surprise comic book of 2025 for me, Tramps of the Apocalypse. Sitting somewhere between Faster...

Listen up, fellow Bunnheads, Cullen is back! Cullen Bunn returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner for a 4th time and there is so much to cover. Cullenn has to be one of if not the most productive writer working in comics today so Jimmy wasted no time in trying to cover the recent stuff Cullen has been working on. Jimmy and Cullen discuss his recent trip to Emerald City Comic Con, his involvement in A...

Wells, wells, wells, what have we here? IT'S WELLS THOMPSON! Former Comic Book Yeti Reviews Editor and current star as the villain in my nightmares, Wells returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner to discuss the current Kickstarter campaign for By Appointment Only. Wells and artist Maru Davalos have created an Urban Fairytale comic about a Witch and her best friend who run a magical shop and witch's h...

What do you get when you cross a beloved British baking competition show and an Agatha Christie-like mystery? The Great British Bump-Off! John Allison joins Jimmy to talk about the 4 issue series he wrote with artist Max Sarin. John talks about the development of the series, being a fan of The Great British Bake Off, and why after writing the series he doesn't think he can watch the show anymore....

I’ve been talking and thinking recently about the intersection of comedy and comics. It’s sort of right there in the name but it’s rare to see a comedy forward book released right now which strikes me as particularly odd given the challenging times in which we are living mid 2025 when we could all use a good laugh. My guest today, Anthony Iannaccio, is no stranger to comedy as one of the hosts of...

The intersection of the genres of horror and humor is a fascinating one. It’s something I’ve brought up several times on the podcast since my first chat with comics writer Kyle Starks. They share the same cadence and rhythms, and it should be no surprise that the recipe comes out as delicious as peanut butter and chocolate, so I was delighted to see Steve Urena’s email hit my InBox as someone who’...

C. Brennan Knight joins Jimmy on the Cryptid Creator Corner to chat about the current Kickstarter campaign for Tyrant Fall #3, which launches today, April 1st. You can hit the link below to check out the campaign. Brennan describes Tyrant Fall as if Dragon Ball Z was published by Heavy Metal Magazine. He has a long plan for the series and discusses the origins of the series with Jimmy, along with...

It’s becoming increasingly clear from my recent chats on the podcast and all the ones that happen in emails or DMs that a substantial part of the glass ceiling for women working in the comics medium centers around the editorial level, but is that accurate and what exactly might specific barriers be? Now I don’t know about you, but to me, you ask an expert. So, I reached out to Rachel Pinnelas. Rac...

Marvel March Madness wraps up with Ryan North! Jimmy gets instantly hooked as he reads his first Fantastic Four comics with volume 1 of Ryan's current run. If you haven't been reading Fantastic Four, you are missing out. Ryan talks a lot about the series, how he approaches writing it, and some of the different artists he's been able to work with. Issue #30 comes out March 26th. Ryan is also writin...

We live in the era of AI. The technologies many of us saw for the first time in sci-fi movies are now the technological experiments that will define humanity for generations to come. In some ways, that’s an exciting concept. How does nature versus nurture apply to machine learning and what exactly are the boundaries we will set to protect us? Human beings are historically bad at implementing guard...

As I was setting up the round of interviews that would be our first Women In Comics Feature to celebrate Women’s History Month on the podcast, I wanted to get a variety of voices included to represent different facets of the medium. That lead me to reaching out to Barbra Dillon, Editor-In-Chief of Fanbase Press, a GLAAD Winning and Eisner and Harvey Nominated publisher and geek culture website. Wh...

It's more Marvel March Madness with returning guest David Pepose! Jimmy and David discuss Space Ghost (published by Dynamite) and Cable: Love and Chrome. First, if you're not reading Space Ghost, you should be, because it's phenomenal. Second, David talks about the direction he wanted to take Cable into and what he wanted to see from a character that already has so much history, some of it fairly...

This episode is a real treat because I get to talk about one of my favorite ongoing series at a time where the ongoing series is becoming increasingly rare. I had legendary comic book artist Terry Dodson on awhile back with Pornsak Pichetshote talking about their Horizon Experiment project The Manchurian and Terry mentioned there was a new Adventureman arc coming out in early 2025. I jumped at the...

The last time Ringo Nominated comics writer Erica Schutlz was on the show with me was to talk about her Marvel Comics project Hallow's Eve. That project made me a lifelong fan of her work and after that chat I knew I needed to reach out to her again for my Women In Comics Feature celebrating Women's History Month in March. Her recent Laura Kinney Wolverine book is one of my top favorites of the Fr...
