6 NOV. 2025 · Marc Silvestri helped build Image Comics from the ground up and changed what comics could look like while doing it. From Cyberforce to Witchblade to The Darkness, his work inspired an entire generation of artists and fans. In this episode, Jim Viscardi sits down with Marc to talk about those early Image days, the creative chaos that shaped Top Cow, and how mentoring artists like Michael Turner and David Finch helped push the medium forward. Then we get into The Darkness and what it's like returning to Jackie Estacado after all these years. We talk legacy, worldbuilding, and what makes this new series feel like both a homecoming and something completely new.
4 NOV. 2025 · W. Maxwell Prince (Ice Cream Man) and Deniz Camp (Assorted Crisis Events), two of the most inventive writers in comics today, sit down for a conversation about friendship, craft, and the chaos of creativity. It's NOT the epsiode of Let's Talk Comics you were expecting, but absolutely need to listen to. They talk about breaking into comics, surviving rejection, writing through vulnerability, and how structure can become meaning in storytelling. Prince reveals how Ice Cream Man: The Mortal Coil evolved from a deck of cards into an existential experiment, while Camp digs into how Assorted Crisis Events turns superhero storytelling inside out. It's a rare, funny, and heartfelt talk about empathy, experimentation, and the joy of making weird comics for readers who want to feel something real.
31 OCT. 2025 · Writer Ryan Parrott (Rogue Sun, Power Rangers, Revolution) joins the show to talk about his wild career path, from film school to Bad Robot to Image Comics. We dive into breaking into Hollywood, finding your voice as a storyteller, and how collaboration shaped the Massive-Verse. Ryan shares the origins of Rogue Sun, the magic of working with artist Abel, and how a chance conversation with Todd McFarlane led to the unthinkable, writing Medieval Spawn.
23 OCT. 2025 · In this episode of Let’s Talk Comics, we sit down Tyler Kirkham to talk about his path from small-town Utah to the Top Cow bullpen, breaking into comics right out of high school, and leveling up into a powerhouse career with DC and Marvel. Tyler opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped him, how he rebuilt his creative process after burnout, and what inspired him to go all-in on Final Boss, his high-octane, video game-fueled project at Image Comics.
7 OCT. 2025 · Rob Liefeld changed comics forever when Youngblood hit in 1992, and now, more than 30 years later, he’s back writing and drawing the book that helped define the Image Comics revolution. We dig into what Youngblood meant then, why it still matters today, and how it feels to bring the team back home to Image. Rob opens up about process, independence, legacy, and the raw creative energy that made Youngblood a phenomenon, and why the same spirit is driving a new generation of creators right now.
17 SEP. 2025 · On this episode of Let’s Talk Comics, I sit down with the one and only Jordie Bellaire, winner of all the awards, colorist of some of the most talked about books of the last decade, and the writer who set the world on fire with Redlands. We dig into her early Image Comics days on books like Pretty Deadly and Nowhere Men, talk about what it takes to keep leveling up, and break down how she made the leap from coloring to writing. And of course, we get into Exquisite Corpses. This one has all the laughs and is full of deep insight and plenty of process.
12 SEP. 2025 · Kieron Gillen makes his long-awaited debut on Let’s Talk Comics and we go all in. We cover everything from breaking into the industry with Phonogram to redefining pop mythology in The Wicked + The Divine, to the return of DIE and the unexpected turns of The Power Fantasy. We also dig into his Image journey, what he carried over from his Marvel years, and how working with powerhouse artists like Jamie McKelvie, Stephanie Hans, and Caspar Wijngaard has shaped the stories fans can’t stop talking about. If you want Gillen at his most candid, this one’s it.
5 SEP. 2025 · Frank Barbiere first turned heads at Image Comics with Five Ghosts, and now he’s back with his most ambitious series yet, The Author Immortal. We dive into Frank’s path from breaking in at Image to making the jump into video games, how those experiences shaped his writing today, and why this new metafictional fantasy is the story he’s been building toward for years.
2 SEP. 2025 · Jason Fabok joins the show to talk all things ROOK: EXODUS. You’ve seen his cinematic, larger-than-life art on Justice League and Batman: Three Jokers, but now, as part of Ghost Machine, he’s building something original and massive. We dig into his journey, his partnership with Geoff Johns, the worldbuilding and fan reaction to the first arc, and what’s coming in the second as the series expands with new characters, darker turns, and even bigger stakes.
15 AGO. 2025 · Legendary comic book artist David Finch joins Let’s Talk Comics to talk about his long-awaited new project with Robert Kirkman, Skinbreaker. We dig into how the project came together, what it’s like building a brand-new world from the ground up, and the challenges (and rewards) of working in an oversized format. David also shares stories from his early days at Top Cow, his evolution through Marvel and DC, lessons from working with other writers, and how discipline has fueled his decades-long career.
