WELCOME BACK TO IDEAS DON’T BLEED!
This week, we’re joined once again by Tate Brombal (The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos / House of Slaughter) as we discuss his comics origins, his relationship to the Canadian comic book scene, his new DC Comics series Green Lantern Dark, and more!
IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan’s son Grif Jr., and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!
Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People.
Enjoy!
Hello!
We’re kicking 2025 off right with our Part II of our conversation with the wonderful Tate Brombal. If you skipped Part I you can listen here. And if you haven’t been paying attention to Tate’s work in the Black Hammer universe, or the House of Slaughterverse, or DC’s Elseworlds, you’ve really been missing out. And of course Tate’s creator-owned books like BEHOLD, BEHEMOTH or THE ODDLY PEDESTRIAN LIFE OF CHRISTOPHER CHAOS are some of the most fun indie comics coming out right now. So give this a listen, get excited about comics in 2025, and all that good stuff.
I’ve been busy preparing a bunch of posts on upcoming stuff like my (top secret) trip to Ireland, my best of the year lists, as well as an depth look at my next book WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US, but those will have to wait a little bit as I recover from my crazy New Year’s Eve (I watched NOSFERATU on my couch while I drank a cocoa.)
In the meantime I just wanted to send everyone good wishes for the New Year and a sincere thank you for subscribing to this newsletter. Whether you’re here for news about comics I write, or to listen to the podcast, or because you hope I’m going to give out good chocolate milk recipes, it means a lot to me. We have a ton of cool stuff we’ve been working on for a long time that is finally coming together in 2025 and you all will have front row seats. Thanks for being here.
And as a special thanks, this week we’re offering 25% off in our webstore. If you’ve been meaning to grab a 7” or a trade paperback or rare cover, now’s a decent chance. Use code AnotherOneComing at check out.
And a special note for our paying subscribers- we have a first wave of packages getting ready to go out next week if you’re eligible. They should have gone out a long time ago, apologies, but we wanted to include some WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US stuff and that was delayed. But now it’s coming and you’re going to get some really cool stuff throughout the year that is not available anywhere else.
And for people just paying for the digital rewards, don’t worry! You’ll still get access to all the stuff we’re planning this year before anyone else. It is going to be cool, I promise.
No explanation needed.
That’s it for me.
Stay safe. Take care of each other. Happy New Year.
