Welcome to another week of the AIPT Comics podcast, with special guest host Colin Moon! We chat about the biggest news of the week, recap our favorite comics, and creator Kyle Starks joins us too. We discuss Starks’ new book I Hate This Place from Skybound/Image on May 18th. We talk about crafting horror and his plans for the series to exhibit all horror under the sun–or is it the blood moon?
You can stream the AIPT Comics podcast below, or find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.
In comics news, we express our deep sorrow over the passing of comics legend George Pérez. Rest in peace, George.
