Mel Caylo is a longtime friend of Geekscape so it’s surprising that this is his first appearance! Don’t worry, because the popular comic book everyman has a lot to say! From his work at Boom! Studios to his previous gig at Archaia (now a part of Boom!), Mel knows the indie comics industry backwards and forwards. He takes this opportunity to give you the latest on what Boom! is putting out and what to pick up for the Holidays! Plus! We talk some news, like Paul Walker’s tragic death, the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in ‘Man of Steel 2’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ trailer and Bryan Singer and Fox announcing ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ for 2016! Oh! And we also get to the bottom as to whether or not Mel tortures his interns! This is one not to miss!

F.J. DeSanto is a film producer whose credits include Frank Miller’s ‘The Spirit’ (but I love him for producing the animated ‘Turok: Son of Stone’)! But he’s also a comic book writer! Now he’s on Geekscape talking about his new Archaia comic book ‘Cyborg 009’, based on the classic manga from legendary creator Shotaro Ishinomori! I also talk some Turok (because Turok is awesome) and F.J. helps to explain the new climate of creator ownership in comics, including the BOOM! and Archaia acquisition! PLUS! Ian Kerner calls up to talk about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman in Man of Steel 2!

Hyjak and Dave bring you a ton of things to ponder in this insightful conversation about digital comics!
