Let's Talk Comics

Aditya Bidikar joins Let's Talk Comics to talk about going from one of the most in-demand letterers in comics to stepping out as a writer with his new Image Comics series In Your Skin.
We get into how he broke into the industry and why lettering matters more than people think. It's the piece of comics that controls how a page is read, and Aditya walks through how that actually works.
Then we dig into In Your Skin. What started as a look at fandom turned into something much darker. It's a body horror story about obsession and identity, and it doesn't pull its punches.
Aditya also talks about building the book, working with artist SOM, and what it means to finally put something out that feels completely his.
Buckle up.

Lorenzo De Felici joins Let's Talk Comics to talk about his new series Red Roots and why it represents a major shift in how he approaches storytelling. We dig into how keeping up a DeviantArt page got Robert Kirkman's attention (which then led to work on Oblivion Song) and what he learned from the grind of monthly comics. Lorenzo took that experience and applied it to his first Image series Kroma, where he reshaped his instincts as both an artist and writer.
Lorenzo breaks down his process, from building stories without scripts to designing characters that feel unexpected, and why Red Roots is him pushing into darker, more uncomfortable territory. If you're a creator looking to create comics, this conversation is for you. Lorenzo's key? Figuring out how to make the kind of comics you actually want to read, and then making them.

Tony Fleecs accomplishes one of his personal goals, having his very own episode of Let's Talk Comics! This week, Tony and Jim talk about how his career has developed over the last few years. Everything from working with Ponies, what it took to launch his own books, and how that had led to where he is today is all discussed in a no holds barred conversation only he can have. The two cover how Local Man came together emotionally, how Stray Dogs found its audience and why he's in it for the long haul with Feral.
Speaking of Feral, issue 21 is a major moment for Tony and the team. Not only is it a silent issue, but he's doing something for the first time that ONLY he can do. The next era of Feral begins here, and you're going to want to hear all about it.
Buckle in folks, it's a great ride.

Geoff Johns joins Let's Talk Comics to talk about building Ghost Machine from the ground up and what it means to commit to long-form, creator-owned storytelling.
We dive into how Geiger, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus, and Hyde Street were developed, why each universe has its own lane, and what changes when creators control the future of their characters. Geoff also shares craft lessons that still guide his work and explains why having real endings in mind changes everything.
It's a great look at how modern comics are built and why the long game still matters.

Patrick Kindlon joins Let's Talk Comics to talk about the craft behind his work, from breaking in through indie comics to building books like Frontiersman, Gehenna, and now Tigress Island. In this episode, Patrick digs into failing early, writing full scripts while leaving room for collaboration, building stories from character first, and learning how to survive criticism in a very public industry. We also dive into Tigress Island, his latest Image Comics thriller, a tense, pulpy escape story brought to life with gorgeous art by EPHK. If you care about the nuts and bolts of making comics and getting better with every book, this one's for you.
