376: Castle in the Sky with Wendy Lee Szany

This week, in Episode 496, Wayne talks with comics legend Bart Sears from Heads Will Roll and Will Allred from Crossover Division! Everything kicks off with Bart Sears, who has a new book called Heads Will Roll, which you can support at zoop.gg/c/headswillroll! It’s described this way: “Character headshots of the most famous heads in heroic fantasy, drawn by superstar comic artist Bart Sears, collected in a beautiful 144-page comic art book! Each day of this campaign Bart will be drawing a new head, decided on by vote, to be added to the book!” This project will conclude in early August, so be sure to listen to this episode, then support Mr. Sears! Then it all concludes with my fun interview with Will Allred from Crossover Division #2, which you can support on Kickstarter at this link. Here’s how it is described: “The Brides of Dracula attack as Hank & Hector must end the crossover with Stoker’s Dracula or risk gothic horror overrunning the world.” His project is doing well, but be sure to listen and then support him since this project will conclude on Friday, July 30, at 10:00 p.m. EDT. Be sure to support both of these great projects! Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers Patreon member.

[rating:3.5/5]  DISCUSSION THE UNWRITTEN VOLUME 1: TOMMY TAYLOR AND THE BOGUS IDENTITY Writer: Mike Carey Artist: Peter Gross Publisher: Vertigo Release Date: January 12, 2010 Cover Price: $14.99 Tom Taylor’s life was screwed from go. His father created the Tommy Taylor fantasy series, boy-wizard novels with popularity on par with Harry Potter. The problem is Dad modeled the fictional epic so closely to Tom’s real life that fans are constantly comparing him to his counterpart, turning him into the lamest variety of Z-level celebrity. In the final novel, it’s even implied that the fictional Tommy will crossover into the real world, giving delusional fans more excuses to harass Tom. When an enormous scandal reveals that Tom might really be a boy-wizard made flesh, Tom comes into contact with a very mysterious, very deadly group that’s secretly kept tabs on him all his life. Now, to protect his own life and discover the truth behind his origins, Tom will travel the world, eventually finding himself at locations all featured on a very special map — one kept by the deadly group that charts places throughout world history where fictions have impacted and tangibly shaped reality, those stories ranging from famous literary works to folktales to pop culture. And in the process of figuring out what it all means, Tom will find himself having to figure out a huge conspiracy mystery that spans the entirety of the history of fiction.
