Zero Issues Comic Podcast

A weekly podcast series hosted by three bald indie comic artists who discuss, analyze and obsess over comic books and pop culture over a few beers.

Three bald guys who both love AND make comics, sitting down, having a beer or two and hilariously talkin' comics. Tangents will happen. Tangents are guaranteed. We are all from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada and make comics here locally. We are.... drum roll....

Thanks for checking out our podcast. We update weekly on Wednesdays, with very occasional exceptions and skipped weeks due to differing schedules. Each episode has an overall theme or topic that we'll talk about for at least 10% of the podcast before going off on a tangent. There will be coarse language. (Sorry, Mom.) Feel free to drop us a line, send in topic suggestions, say you don't like us, make fun of our bald heads, whatever.... we're game.

500 episodes! Like, 500 complete episodes. Way more than Seinfeld has, I’m pretty sure. For this centennial celebration, this time? We’re just gonna sort of take it easy, with a chill-as-heck lava lamp of an episode, which are the kind of episodes that I think we like to do, now that we’ve discovered that after over a decade of getting together and recording, we’re actually kind of good at just talking to each other about comics and junk.

Also, happy birthday, Merk’s sister!

It's time for the FIFTH installment of the CELERY STALK SLAM!!
That time between Halloween & Christmas, where we choose characters from each to square off.... and battle to end!
Which holiday wins?
Which characters will we pick this year?
Pumpkins might be involved. Maybe even a Frankenstein inspired comic character. Maybe a Skeletor lookalike. Some undead. And.... some guy... on skis. Maybe.... a piece of poo?
It's going to get weird.
Join us for a nice glass of warm celery juice and follow along as we battle it out on CELERY STALK SLAM DAY!!

This week, we interview a man who should need no introduction: TYLER MANE! From Saskatooner to globe-trotting professional wrestler to movie and television actor to comic creator, our guest has done it all! We dig into his wild and expanding career, his experiences portraying comic characters like Sabretooth, Blackstar and Torminox, and his new graphic novel "The Last Spartan: Red Tape"! Based on the novels by John F. Saunders and inspired by real crimes in human trafficking, Tyler discusses how he and editor Renae Geerlings recruited legendary writer Christopher Priest, artists Will Conrad, Jimbo Salgado, Michael Montenat, and cover artist Marc Silvestri to bring the project to life, through every step of the creative process, how these stories can help in the real world, and where the series may lead next!
