AI is coming for all of the coolest, most creative jobs. For a lot of folks, it’s already here, and that includes people working in the comic industry. This week, we try to take AI seriously, and discuss just what is going on in the industry with AI use in comics. Everything from the response of comic cons to the artists who use it (and have a variety of responses to being called out for it) to platforms that exist now which empower people to never have to learn how to draw, because working to develop a skill is for losers.

But before all that, Kyle tells you to read Marvel All-On-One, where The Thing really wallops some palookas, AND flies a space plane!

Hey folks, we are taking a week off due to scheduling/plague-related issues. But! Wait! Where are you going?! We have a Classic Zero Issues to make up for it, because we hate the idea of anyone being without us for any length of time. This time, it’s Episode 273: Kraven the Deli Owner, from January of 2021! Here’s the original post:

QUITTERS!! The lot of ’em!!! That’s what superheroes are! And that’s what we’re talking about this week. Can you think of a hero that hasn’t, even for just a short bit, called it quits? It’s a small list. From Tony Stark and the sauce, Daredevil and his law career, Wonder Woman getting sick of life off Paradise Island, to Spidey and…. well…. every five minutes, heroes love to quit. We delve deep. Who quit and became a blind bartender? Who quit and became Black Beard? And so many more. Plus we talk news! There are comic cons going on soon….. uh….. ok. Black Panther delays. Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth show. And Merk delves into manga (a new thing for him) in a ‘read this now’. So don’t quit now! You’re almost there! Sit back, relax, click that button and listen to Kraven the Deli Owner serve up a lil’ bite of deligh …. ah… quit it.

Ka-zar! Y'know... Ka-zar!
That Marvel Tarzan guy from the Savage Land?
We're fixin' him this week! Each of us takes a stab at pitching a story or approach to take him from a B or C lister to an A lister!
Cannibalism may occur.
And there's dinosaurs.

Plus we talk about that goofball, Dean Cain. It's super.... weird.

We sincerely hope you've brought your popsicles this week, because it's about to get scalding hot in the sun chamber! It's August Audness, which means we've picked a bunch of comic book characters, and are making them fight for our collective amusement. This go around, they've all got heat-and-light-and-whatnot powers, in order to answer the question that Andre 3000 was cowardly to ask: what's hotter than being hot? ICE HOT??
