Welcome back to the AIPT Comics Podcast! This week, we’re going full throttle with a very special interview — Kelly Knievel and Rylend Grant join us to talk about The Last Gladiator, the brand-new comic that brings Evel Knievel’s legendary life and daredevil legacy to the page for the very first time. Soon to be live on Kickstarter, we dig into legacy and what the comic will be about. From the iconic Caesars Palace jump to his influence on pop culture, we dive deep into what makes Evel’s story perfect for comics and how this Kickstarter is keeping his spirit alive.
But that’s not all, we’ve also got the latest headlines from around the industry: Batman and X-Men sell-outs, Doctor Doom’s fall, X-Men of Apocalypse cover reveals, the Gargoyles / Fantastic Four crossover, and more. Plus, our top comics of the week, standout KAPOW moments, and a look ahead at what’s hitting shelves next Wednesday.
Strap in — it’s going to be a wild ride!
