October 27, 2020 by Neoplasmic in Renegade Arcade, RPC Games, Video Games, Podcast

In this episode of the RPC podcast, we speak with Rob Duenas and James Bacon, two of Keona’s buddies who worked on the 2010 version of GameFan Magazine, a truly unique gaming publication which saw many editorial turnovers and crazy shenanigans occur behind the scenes. From unpaid contributors to acid-spiked coffee to an utterly shameful printing mishap, GF was truly a chaotic place to work in its original incarnation. But what of the 2010 relaunch? Did Rob and James have the same experiences as their predecessors? Read the show notes and listen to our conversation to find out!

Greetings, citizens of Earth-Prime! Neoplasmic here, with a special guest in tow! Yes, friends, today we are speaking with prolific comic book scribe Ryan Little! Ryan was kind enough to chat with us about his latest project, Super Scouts, which is a Super Sentai (think Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers) meets Galaxy Quest story about a group of past-their-prime actors who discover that the TV show they were featured on in their youth was based on actual events. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Let’s find out where Ryan and his artistic collaborators came up with the idea, and what separates the Scouts from the Rangers, by smashing that play button!

Greetings and welcome to RPC Capes, our comic book show here on Renegade Pop Culture!

If that ain’t a good hook, I don’t know what is! Featuring incredible painted artwork by Ludovic Salle, Tart is a comic that reads like a modern version of Buffy with a little bit of Hellboy and Sandman thrown into the mix!
