An Elegant Weapon

The Jedi Ras is joined by long time friend of the show, Toronto comic creator Dave Bishop. We chat about the Toronto comic community, the upcoming issue of his series Of Stone and his contribution to Vol. 3 of  The Toronto Comics Anthology.  You can also check out Dave's other series Squirrels and the zombie series Stranger.

 

The Jedi Ras assembles a council of  fellow Podfathers to discuss the shift in attitudes during comicbook culture's growth throughout the decades, the DC and Marvel cinematic and television universes, Deadpool and it's potential effects on comicbook movie making and DC : REBIRTH.

 

 

 

 

 

This week I had the extreme pleasure of talking with legendary writer John Ostrander. John has written for countless titles across DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and others including Batman, X-men, Martian Manhunter, The Punisher, Hawkworld and much much more. He was a major player in the Star Wars EU comics having written for Republic and Legacy as well as being the creator of the modern day version of The Suicide Squad, his own title Grimjack and the character of Oracle. We discuss his work and career in comics and have a good time geek out session over the upcoming Suicide Squad film, DC's television universe and Doctor Who.

 

I'm joined by the trombonist and co-lead vocalist for The Slackers, Glen Pine. We discuss the band's 25th anniversary, tours, storied career adventures, ska and their new self titled album ( which is BLOODY amazing)  dropping on Feb 19th.
