WELCOME BACK TO IDEAS DON’T BLEED!
This week, we’re joined by Matthew Rosenberg (Writer of a bunch of dumb bullshit) as we discuss maintaining the love for the comics medium, using the Ashcan Press Substack to get long-gestating projects off the ground, his new Image Comics series We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us, and more!
IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, the Supple Boiz, and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!
Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People.
Enjoy!
Well it’s happened again. Between my getting ready to launch a new book, Ethan’s busy schedule, and Griffin’s…. whatever, we forgot to book a guest. So we brought back our worst guest for a shot at redemption. Me!
I could write about myself and the book but I think you get it. Griffin and Ethan bullying me about my life choices and also we we talk about WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US. Give it a listen. We make ourselves laugh a lot if nothing else
While we’re talking about me, I also stopped in to have a chat with one of the titular heads of the Two-Headed Nerd podcast. If you like comics, it is a show you should be listening to regularly.
This one was very fun and I was much less combative.
Should I make this a triple podcast newsletter? Sure!
My dear old friend Matthew Klein has launched himself a new podcast called Comics For You (or C4U as the cool kids and also some of the weird kids call it). Matthew and I used to work together in our old lives and we bonded while I was writing comics on the side and he was writing plays. Since then he has gone on to write badass comics like CRASHING, as well as helping sell a ton of comics at places like Valiant and Penguin. His passion for comics is really infectious and his understanding of writing is always impressive.
On this debut episode his first guest is my pal and frequent collaborator
. So give it a listen, like and subscribe, and tell your friends there is a new badass comics podcast in town.That’s it for me.
Stay safe. Take care of each other. Don’t worry, I’m sick of me too.
