This week, we’re joined once again 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!
Hello,
I’m back with even more me, now more than ever. I’m going to keep this brief because the podcast means there is already a lot of me in your inbox. If you missed part I of my interview you can listen here. Hope you enjoy it.
A bunch of people have reached out to me asking where they can pick up WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US. The best answer is always “your local comic shop.” But I know for some people that isn’t an option so I thought I’d share a few comic shops that let us know they have the book available for mailorder.
MIDTOWN COMICS. My friends in my hometown have all the issues available to order now.
COMICHUB. Comichub is a system that helps stores sell books. What does this mean for you? Simply put, you can set up an account, order the book from their site, and arrange to have the book shipped to you or pick it up in 1 of the 130+ stores around the planet that use their services. It’s an easy way to order any comics you want.
IMPULSE CREATIONS. The mighty Impulse Creations in Tulsa not only have a great site for ordering books, but they’re offering a preorder where you can get the first 3 issues of WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US signed by me!
THIRD EYE COMICS. My good friends at Third Eye in Maryland (and surrounding areas) have the issues up for pre-order now. Order them or stop in.
DCBS. The giant discount comic book seller is not only selling our book, but you can buy issue #1 signed by me straight from them.
SI-FI TOYS. The folks at Si-Fi are also selling preorders of our first couple of issues.
FORBIDDEN PLANET. If you’re over in the UK, Forbidden Planet is a great place to mailorder your books from.
Hope that helps!
I’ve talked about it before, but I’m very much enjoying Kieron Gillen, Caspar Wijngaard, & co’s new Image series THE POWER FANTASY.
It’s a smart and gorgeous take on the “people with strange and terrifying abilities” genre. You can grab volume 1 in shops now, but that isn’t what I’m actually here to push. Kieron has been interviewing his collaborators on the book over in podcast land and it is both a charming and enlightening look into how great comics are made. I’d encourage you to listen to all of them.
If you value knowing where good stories come from, or knowing about the people who make them, I can’t recommend it enough.
That’s it for me.
Stay safe. Take care of each other. Thanks for preordering.
A weekly podcast where hosts Matthew Rosenberg, Ethan S. Parker, and Griffin Sheridan talk to guests from around the world of comic books. It's fun. It's short. Why not give it a listen?
