Theme Music: Bad Attraction by Brad Sucks
I’ve been trying to get this episode posted for over a week now, but I keep getting waylaid with work and trying to find a new home, but I’m finally getting this one up.
And Interview with Sean Taylor about his new Series, “Gene Simmons Dominatrix” (I didn’t feel Dominatrix Interview was an accurate portrayal of this ep.) that really is more than you would expect by the covers.
This episode does NOT contain any cursing, but does deal with sexuality and alternative sexuality a little bit, so you may want to preview it before letting any small children listen.
preview pages are for issue 2. Issue 1 and 2 are already out and available at better LCSs everywhere.

Utilizing a colossal pipe organ that enables pan-dimensional travel, The Engineer pursues the lost components of The Konstrukt, an archaic mechanism that imbues whoever possesses it with the ability to manipulate reality itself. The Engineer endeavors to restore The Konstrukt, using it to defeat the creature and undo the incalculable damage already done.

Press Release from Image:
A true man without fear strikes this November!
August 28th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - This November GROUNDED’s Mark Sable, 2000 AD’s P.J. Holden and industry newcomer David Roth reinvent what it means to be a man without fear with FEARLESS, an all-new full color four-issue miniseries.
“If you’re going to do a superhero book these days you really need to do something unique,” says Mark Sable. “FEARLESS is far from typical. The lead is a literal man without fear, as behind the mask he’s paralyzed with a crippling anxiety disorder, but an anti-fear drug enables him to fight the war on crime. A life of dependency crashes down when his supply runs completely dry. What comes next is the crux of the series.”
Sable is best known for his work on the critically-acclaimed GROUNDED and artist P.J. Holden is revered for his work on 2000 AD, while co-writer David Roth has a background in film and television. However, the itch to work in comics has been a long time coming.
David Roth explains, “This has been an amazing experience. Working with people as talented as Mark and PJ in this new medium has been a creative windfall. From inception to execution, it seems like every idea becomes a possibility, while this unprecedented level of control over the process has been both rewarding and educational. I couldn’t be happier with the results of our collaboration on FEARLESS.”
FEARLESS #1 (SEP071951), a 32-page full color four-issue miniseries with a cover price of $2.99, will be available for order in the September issue of Previews and will go on sale November 7th.
and check out some of the alternative costume designs and rough pages to see how far it has come.

Another Interview episode, but this one is a bit different. I talk to Podiobook Author and one hell of a cool guy, JC Hutchins, on the eve of kicking off the third part of his 7th Son Trilogy. And it turns out JC actually has a tie to comics. He used to be a Wizard intern and originally envisioned 7th son as a comic book. So, listen to the interview. And If you’re not listening to 7th son already. Go to podiobooks.com and Start listening NOW!
