333: Mera with Danielle Paige

This week in Episode 455, we have two great “Frank” interviews! First up, it’s the return of creator Frank Gogol from Grief, No Heroine, and Dead End Kids, all from Source Point Press. Frank has a new comic coming called Dead End Kids: The Suburban Job, which is described this way: “Seven years after the deadly events of September 11th, three teens struggle with the long-term fallout of that tragic day. But these former friends are brought back together when they find themselves in the crosshairs of a local drug dealer who’s out for blood. Can they put their personal traumas aside long enough to work together and survive? No Heroine’s Frank Gogol reteams with Nenad Cviticanin for an all-new entry in the Dead End Kids saga.” We’re talking before this book hits the November Diamond Previews, so let your local comics shop know you want it when it becomes available. Frank is a fast-rising star in comics, so be sure to check out his website as well as his social media entries, including Instagram, Twitter and Facebook! Then everything wraps up when I interview Frank Martin, creator of Modern Testament: Anthology of the Ethereal, about his new horror comic book, The Macabre Motel, which is available now for support here on Kickstarter! Here’s how the book is described: “A Twilight Zone-esque episode about a trip to see a girlfriend, a detour to a motel, and the weird guests that refuse to let you leave.” He’s well on its way to meeting his goal, so expect great stretch goals to happen soon! This Kickstarter will conclude on Wednesday, October 28, at 11:59 p.m. EST, so be sure to back it as soon as you finish listening to this podcast!

While also faced with nerdy bullies, a new menace haunts the young scientists and camp counselors. A mysterious figure with sinister intent arrives to disrupt the serene woodland scene. The solution won’t take rocket science, but Dustin will have to get on the same wavelength as the other campers before tensions reach a boiling point. [rating:4/5] MATTHEW BATMAN #100 Writer: James Tynion IV Artist: Jorge Jimenez/Carlos Pagulayan/Guillem March Publisher: DC Comics “The Joker War” comes to a city-shattering conclusion as Batman battles The Joker in a brutal, no-holds-barred duel! This is a fight 80 years in the making, and its outcome won’t just change Batman’s life-it will change Gotham City for years to come!

And after the senses-shattering conclusion of “The Joker War” come a pair of short stories that will chart what’s to come in Gotham City and Batman. Don’t miss the first showdown between Batman and Clownhunter! [rating:3.5/5] RODRIGO THE VAIN #1 Writer: Eliot Rahal Artist: Emily Pearson Publisher: Oni Press Chicago, 1941. A blood bank is held up in a robbery, but no cash is taken-only blood. It’s the latest in a string of similar crimes and FBI Agent Felix Franklin is certain it’s part of a wider plot. But the truth is much more sinister than he could imagine. The four robbers-who call themselves The Vain-are vampires: immortal, physically powerful, and after decades of honing their skills, practically untraceable. But in a world that is rapidly changing, stealing blood is harder every day and with each decade that passes, Agent Franklin inches closer to the truth. Eliot Rahal, Emily Pearson, and Fred C. Stressing kick off a series that spans nearly a century of wild eternal youth and reckless abandon across history. [rating: 3.5/5] DEATH ON THE NILE The tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life. Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: “I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.” Yet under the searing heat of the Egyptian sun, nothing is ever quite what it seems. A sweeping mystery of love, jealousy, and betrayal, Death on the Nile is one of Christie’s most legendary and timeless works.
