Patrick McEvoy from Gorgo Legacy comes to the podcast in Episode #644 this week!

Patrick’s 72+-page graphic novel is being crowfunded on Zoop.gg, which you can find at this link. It is described this way: “1953. World War II is over, and the Cold War has taken its place. A secret international agency known as SERENITY monitors — and often conceals — the threat of giant monsters they term ‘mega-cryptids.’ The Kaiju! AGENT BENSON might well have saved the world in his first mission for Serenity. But it has left deep scars on his psyche, cursing him with weird visions of the future. Benson must now investigate strange events on an isolated isle off the coast of Ireland. Now, in this prequel to the legendary GORGO film, Benson’s dark visions of tomorrow loom. A KAIJU BLOOD FEUD and COLD WAR INTRIGUE will soon collide in the deadly waters of the North Atlantic!” We discuss how this book came to be, Gorgo’s history, who the characters are in this new comic book graphic novel, and what we can expect from Patrick and Titanic Creations in the coming months!

Episode #635: Interviews with Royce Adkins and the ‘Miracle Kingdom’ Creators – April 7, 2024

Posted on April 12, 2024 by Wayne's Comics

This week, Episode #635 is another excellent doubleheader, so Wayne talks with Royce Adkins from Outcasts on Zoop.gg and Michael David McCarthy and Alonso Molina Gonzales from Miracle Kingdom!

Everything kicks off with the return of Royce Adkins, who has a crowdfunding project on Zoop.gg for his new comic Outcasts! Here’s how this latest book is described: “Outcasts is a gritty sci-fi/action story about Aaron, a former super-soldier afflicted with chronic asthma, who is cast out of the covert government program that created him.” We discuss what this new series is about, who the characters are, and catch up with what else is coming from Stone Harbor Comics! Be sure you back this project before it concludes on Thursday, April 18!

Then everything wraps up with my fun interview with the creators of Miracle Kingdom! Writer Michael David McCarthy and Artist Alonso Molina Gonzales delve into this excellent mini-series recently released through Scout Comics! Here’s how this book is described: “A forensic accountant investigates a showboating televangelist with dubious healing powers, and quickly realizes that he may be dealing with the ‘Michelangelo of Scam Artists’ when his miracles appear to be astonishingly convincing.” We look into who the characters are, discover how this mini-series intelligently tells a fascinating spiritual tale, and find out what else is heading our way from these creators in the months ahead! I always need to point out that I do help out behind the scenes with Scout Comics, but I had nothing to do with this book, which is probably why it’s so good!
