Dennis' current work on The Shadow starts them off by talking about the art of cover creation and what makes a good cover for a comic book before talking about the creativity in the Big Two and how stories are told and retold, the disconnect between the comic book movies and the comic book themselves, and question the need for certain websites to post spoilers.

Full Post: http://kpnt.co/LXg523 If you read comic books during the 1990's, you read Wizard: The Guide to Comics. And if you read Wizard, you laughed at the witty retorts and letters-c0lumn banter filed each month by  Jim McLauchlin. Wizard, now defunct, was the barometer of hip in the comic book industry for half a generation. If Wizard set the agenda for the comic book industry for the 1990s, Mr. McLauchlin's reports were it's narrative.  And that narrative was hilarious. The former editor and senior writer also provided a much-needed sense of levity at a time of doom and gloom in the comic book industry. Upon leaving the magazine in the early 2000s, Mr. McLauchlin be went to work for Top Cow Productions, a well-known publishing entity within the Image Comics umbrella. Today, Mr. McLauchlin works closely with the Hero Initiative, a not-for-profit agency organization that acts as a "financial safety net" for comic book creators. This In this episode of the KoPoint Comic Book Show, co-host Dan Patterson talks with Mr. McLauchlin about making the transition from sports writing to comic books, his career at Wizard, the Hero Initiative, and the changing nature of the comic book industry.

Full Episode: http://kpnt.co/LOHlSo A quick note about this episode: The KoPoint News format continues to tighten as it iterates. This week Marc and I integrated  several audio production elements alongside a tighter and more formatted show. KoPoint News is now broken up in to three segments: Kofight, the top stories submitted and voted on by readers of kopoint.reddit.com; The Weekly Talking Point, featuring discussion around a single topic with community feedback p0wered by Urtak; and Moyo: the state of KoPoint, a segment reserved for quick network updates and chatter. Over the next few weeks we'll refine this format. Our goal is to tight, produce a fun, entertaining, and edifying experience. As we refine the show we ask that you consider subscribing and submitting to the KoPotint Subreddit.
