Journeys Through Magnamund

Many associate Lone Wolf with Gary Chalk's iconic art, as it was this art that launched the series and provided the lens through which we discovered Magnamund for the first time. Just as incredible, however, is the art of Brian Williams, who portrayed Magnamund for over ten years, from books 9 through 28. Today August and Jonathan honor Williams by examining the incredible evolution of his art as well as the transition from Chalk to Williams. Joining them is artist Justin Wyatt, known for his work on the anthology and upcoming Legends finale, and who brings years of professional training and experience to the examination of Williams style. We'll also dive into the secrets behind what makes a certain Baroness so appealing to the fan base!As mentioned in the episode, there is an interview with Gary Chalk which you can listen to here: Gary Chalk on Magnamund

What's that you hear? Is it the drumbeat of approaching doom or the bitter groan of ice cracking? You'll find both within the foreboding wastes of Ixia, for here lies the Deathlord, an enigmatic figure in the history of Magnamund. Never fear: Jonathan and August come to tear back the veil on long-kept secrets! Learn the never-before-known origins of the Deathlord, find out who the Ixians were, and discover why skeletons wear aprons. All this and more in the latest episode of Journeys Through Magnamund!

Joe once said that Magnamund would go on as long as stories were being told in it. Today, we prove his legacy lives on with ten more stories from fans, collected in the wonderful second volume of the Anthology! Shane Walsh Smith (editor of the anthology) joins August and Jonathan to discuss these works and believe us -- they dive into some lore that fans have long awaited! These stories tease answers to questions like, what was the Red Plague? Who was Vaynar Jupe? Who were the Nebora? And what is Noodnic society like? This episode also includes a special surprise after the credits, a fan made song straight from the world of Magnamund!

In the legacy of Lone Wolf is there any legacy as vast as Vashna's? Join Jonathan and August for one of their favorite books in the entire series, which they tackle with glee! Among other things, hear the origins of demons, discover what character was one of Joe's favorites, be taught some Magnamund curse words by August, and finally learn whether Shamath's riddle was a cruel joke all along!
