The AIPT Comics podcast returns to recap the week in comics, plus Brian Michael Bendis joins the show to discuss Fortune & Glory: The Musical. In the sequel to his Eisner-nominated series, we unpack what we’re in store for as he shares how the sequel is a means to tell stories about his own life (the first chapter is on his Substack now), working with artist Bill Walko, editor Daniel Chabon, and so much more!
Plus, we discuss the Ultimate universe and what he thinks about Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch’s upcoming Ultimate Invasion!
