| 7/25/24 | ![]() Episode 65: Comics Superstar Tony Fleecs | Superstar doesn’t even come close to encapsulate the guest creator for this episode. Since his last appearance in the tiger den, Tony Fleecs has been nothing short of a force of nature within the cultural spectrum and now he’s back! And we’re all better for it.Coming off the massively successful “Stray Dogs” from Image Comics, Tony is hitting the shelves with two beautifully-wild creator owned series: “Uncanny Valley” from Boom Studios and “Feral” from Image Comics.In a familiar vein to its predecessor, Stray Dogs, “Feral” softens your guard with that Don Bluth styling before sucking you down into the darkness of mystery and horror. It brings a bit of zest into a genre that sometimes becomes a bit structurally predictable within the comic medium. This time around the emphasis is cats. As a trio of indoor felines get stuck in the wilds of the outdoors . Already underprepared and overwhelmed things only escalate due to a rabies outbreak. American Tale meets Walking dead? Count BTR in! One of the beloved elements of the series is the continuation of variant covers paying homage to cult classic horror film posters and VHS covers. Not only proven to be a marketing success, but has quickly become a fan-favorite tradition with Fleecs’ pet-thrillers at Image.Tony’s other creator own project that is taking to the shelves alongside “Feral” is “Uncanny Valley.” And what a perfect name for such a unique and bold concept. If unfamiliar with the 70’s hypothesis; “Uncanny Valley” is a proposed phenomenon theorizing the relation between the human likeness of an object and a viewer’s affinity toward it.Imagine you’re a kid… a kid that just doesn’t quite fit in. Constantly haunted by the sensation, even visions, that you are different. It’s a feeling that most of us, as people, experienced at some point in our youth. Then one day an unintroduced family member shows up; say it’s your grandpa. Only he’s a 2d cartoon character resembling Yosemite Sam and yeah, you are apart of something greater than you could of ever thought.The concept is bold and it works seamlessly. With variations in art styling, the reader is very quickly immersed into this very real world with very real people. So even when the cartoon surreal is interjected it’s not only shocking and intriguing the high stakes still remain. It’s brilliant in concept and execution. I can only imagine a film/tv deal is in the near future for “Uncanny Valley.”On top of the this Tony has other projects that are sharing space on the shelves; the on going series “Local Man” from Image Comics and a new Army of Darkness series “Forever” from Dynamite. It’s the summer of FLEECS, so get to your local comic shop and celebrate his creative power! -T A note: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.

| 6/6/24 | ![]() Episode 64: Comic Creator Tony Parker | And just like that, the tiger is back! To celebrate our reemergence from the solitude of the mist shrouded mountains we sit down with comic artist and writer, Tony Parker! The actual saying goes “history is written by the victors. History is filled with liars. If he lives, and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost.” And in Tony’s new book , “Medusa,” the mythic villainess challenges her own portrayal in the historical literature. The infamous Greek monster, snake hair woman who’s glance turns mortals to stone; Medusa! What if she was not quite who the ancient scribes would us believe. What if she was in all reality a hero; a fabled warrior who rises when needed to challenge the forces who look to suppress and control. A cursed woman who throughout the pantheon of written history has quietly fought against those who try and unravel the very fabric of humanity. That is just what Parker has done in his new graphic novel, “Medusa.”It’s a very fresh take on mythic character. Foundationally, the concept is the ultimate challenge to one of the longest standing patriarchal portrayals. Taking a well established female figure that is not only marred by the gods, but who’s curse perception has persisted into modern pop; and telling her story from a very different angle.This action paced thriller is a brilliant “face-lift” to a classic monster and we are here for it. With colors from one of the best in the industry and my fellow classmate, Tamra Bonvillain! “Medusa” drops this October from Dark Horse comics.-TA note: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.

| 4/21/24 | ![]() Episode 63: Writer Laurie Cunningham | From the cowboy prairies of Calgary, Alberta, writer and Editor-N-Chief of ASAP Imagination steps into the Tiger Den with “villainous” intent!The wonderful Laurie Cunningham joins the revenge crew to tell us about her new graphic novel anthology, “The Complete Points of Villainy” from the international publishing house ASAP Imagination.Under the helm of Laurie (also known as L.A.) and London based owner Haydes, ASAP was born from a grassroots community of online independent creators. Only to quickly grow into a viable imprint with multiple published titles, and many more on the way. That being said “Points of Villainy” has arrived.Adapted from the original novellas, the graphic novel has already achieved its funding goal, and “PoV” is now in the faze of collecting stretch goals and planning for the future. As it moves closer toward manifesting its tales of misery and eventual hope.The anthology is a collection of various individual experiences during a mysterious nation-wide paranormal event that sweeps through the city famously known as “the Big Smoke” (London). Coming in at over 100 pages and featuring a wide collection of creators from all over the world of various stylings. “The Complete Points of Villainy” is perfectly curtailed for the readers of slice-of-life mystery and the paranormally bizarre. To every yin there is a yang, with production already underway for the countering follow-up to “Villainy;” “Points of Virtue.” So what will happen when darkness meets the light? We’ll just have to follow the points to find out!The campaign is live now, so check it out over on Kickstarter.You can keep up with Laurie and get everything ASAP over at their site: https://asapimagination.com A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.

| 3/30/24 | ![]() Episode 62: Comic Writer Gabe Cheng | From the sun struck coast of California comes independent comic writer, Gabe Cheng, as he reunites with the Revenge Crew once again.Building a reputation for the not-so-typical slice of life narratives, Gabe continues to extend his writing catalog. Tackling one of our favorite comic genres here at BTR… the comedic one shot.“Stuck in the Middle” is a theologic satire as it’s just another day in exile for fallen angel, Dante. A being of godly design on the precipice of existential crisis just living out, yet, another day in the mundane purgatory of his Los Angeles apartment complex. But hey at least there’s a pool.Like anyone feeling “stuck” in life, Dante must come to grips with his own reality and face his literal demon and that demon is not too happy about it. The meeting of ancient rivals goes about how you’d expect. Who will prevail, light or darkness, in the inevitable battlefield of their North Hollywood apartment villa commons area?! With quick wit and a whole lot of charm and style, Gabe brings a fun read for those looking to start off the summer with some light chuckles. “Stuck in the Middle” is funding right now on Kickstarter with only about a week left.

| 3/22/24 | ![]() Episode 61: Critical Entertainment's Chris Reda | The Revenge Crew joins up with the main man over at Critical Entertainment for his ancient quest across the ever changing lands of indie comics!Writer, publisher, and over all nice guy, Chris Reda breaks down his new line of comics and graphic novels that are gracing the shelves of shops across the North America. Based in the cinematic dreamland of L.A., California. Chris, along with with his partner in print Mason Mendoza, founded Critical Entertainment to bring their own unique stories to the printed page. Bucking the all too usual restrictions of traditional production ( for context, the usual floppy issue rolls in conservatively at a monthly 22 page release that’s formatted in a standard print size), Critical Entertainment lets the story dictate the print needs of the individual story. Bold and dynamic, it offers readers something a bit different to find on the shelves. Their silent sci-fi epic “Space Dragon” might be one of the boldest examples of this refreshing approach. At a 115 pages, this trade measures in at 7.5" x 12" and is glorious. How else should a planet-sized intergalactic swimming dragon be experienced on the page!Continuing with their fresh approach, Reda is writing a series that’s being illustrated by the very voice you’re reading now. That’s right it’s me, Tadd (always remember, never forget)! “The First Americans” is a title that explores a genre that is mostly unique for todays pop-pubs of capes, sci-fi dramas, and life-slices. As speculative fiction, “First Americans” is the journey of a hunter at the tail end of the ice age some 14 thousand years ago. Who parts with his peoples and the fierce woman of his heart, to track a mammoth and its small herd. Taking him from the eastern Steppe of Siberia, through the gateway of Beringia, and into the new lands of the Americas. It’s an exploration of the human spirit, always pushing toward the beyond of the horizon. The emboldened hunter encounters megafauna, natural elements, and looks into the depths of his own soul as he trudges deeper through vast unknown wilderness. Ambitious in story and execution. As the artist, I changed up my approach and tackle a different style to best fit our storytelling, referencing a master of historical fiction and ink composition, Serio Toppi. While Reda takes an equally unique approach. Letting the story dictate the page count, freeing the flow of physical print limitations. Each chapter comes in thicker than the usual newsstand floppy, and as a quarterly release to boast, throughout the next two years. First Americans, has been a long time coming and now it finally breaks through the ice and into local comic shops next week, March 27th. Or if you need to start the journey now visit Critical Entertainment site to get “First Americans” and their numerous other titles!A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-publishing availability.
