AIPT Comics Podcast Episode 368: Steve Orlando talks Scarlet Witch, Valiant, Dragula Titans, and more

From Scarlet Witch to Valiant, Dragula to Deadweight, Steve Orlando is everywhere right now, and we dig into all of it in our full, unfiltered conversation.

Steve Orlando is one of the busiest writers in comics right now, and this week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we’re running our full, uncut conversation with him. Earlier this week, we published a written feature focused on his Scarlet Witch run, but this episode expands far beyond that, covering everything from Deadweight with Bobby Lee to Valiant Beyond: X-O Manowar, DC x AEW, his chance to judge on Dragula Titans season 2, Tarzan Beyond, X-Men Infinity, and even a teased return to Midnighter!

If you wanted the complete Orlando download, this is it.

Plus, as always, we break down the biggest comics news of the week, share our Top Books of the Week, spotlight the KAPOW moment that knocked us out, and close things out with Judging by the Cover, where we celebrate the best cover art on the stands right now.

You can stream the AIPT Comics podcast below or find it on Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.
