The Weakly Villain Podcast

That's how you spell it right?

That is right, the fine not-feathered fiend from Marvel Comics. He looks cool and has some great super powers. But alas, still a minor villain.

Say what you will about Chemistro or any Cage villainsfor that matter but at least he had staying power.

We were gone for a good reason. We were waiting for the new Guardians movie!

And we are here to talk about it with our guest Jonathan. Spoilers galore here but the conversation is qualified artistic critique and empirically valid. Plus not dirty like filthy Deadpool.

Super engineer Starr Saxon made robots then became one himself. He was also the second Mister Fear. Minor Daredevil villain but cool story.

Here is a DJ that got special voice powers and used them for bad. Threat to humanity, minimal.

The Marvel super-villain team led by Crossbones...and others. That is, as long as they could stay alive.

Marvel and The Micronauts Baron Karza ain't so weak.

Simply named fella premiered in the 60's from Marvel. Not really named after his personality.....but YOURS!!! Listen to learn and to hear us go off on Psycho Woman.

We talked about a bunch of stuff on this free-form episode and what is going on with Marvel. We also talked about a few of the Marvel movies and where they may be heading.

We look at Glorian this week and his fun with Hulk and Fantastic Four. We also have Shaper of Worlds. Who knew Glorian and Shaper were actually two of the most powerful cosmic beings in the Marvel Universe?

This is a Luke Cage - Powerman villain that is very flawed. Also, he is is a by-product of the early 70's Blaxpoitation film movement and is named after a bug that is universally despised. This is an interesting one folks.

Do you know what the date is? I'll bet Calendar man does. This DC comics creation from 1958 is one of the greatest gimmick super-villains ever. He even has a very dark side to go with the nonsense.

We really enjoyed talking with Professor Northrop Davis of the University of South Carolina Department of Art. He is a screenwriter and director that teaches Manga arts and is the patriarch of the WEMAKEMANGA.COM site. This is really worth checking out. Not only for his interesting and impressive story but to see all that Univ of SC has going on in art. Stand-out episode. http://artsandsciences.sc.edu/art/ http://www.wemakemanga.com/ @WeMakeManga

We discuss the coolest yet reviled villain from the 80's, The Spot. We also discuss our recent NYC trip.

It was such a pleasure to talk comics and Chikara with Mike Quackenbush. This man knows comics in a crazy big way.

Here we have the Marvel Comics father and son villains Gargoyle and The Gremlin. They both started out battling the Hulk but in different decades. Sadly, they never had a chance to play ball or go camping or nuke the Atlantic coast together. Check it out for good information, clever banter and Big Dev says something about mathematics.

We talked to Director Marisa Stotter and Producer Patrick Meaney on a transnational Skype interview about the movie they are doing, "She Makes Comics". It is a documentary film about the untold history of women in comic books, celebrating female creators and fans alike. It is a fascinating subject and we are looking forward to seeing the project come to a screen near us. Please learn more and back the project here. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sequart/she-makes-comics

Here is a great chat with illustrator and artist Natalie Andrewson. Natalie has had much work published in a number of respectable publications. She is an artist to keep an eye on. Our interview was near the close of the CON and the noise level, well let's just put it this way, it wasn't ambient. Any odd jumps in the edits are the fault of the Devins and loud comic fans:) www.natalieandrewson.com/ @natAndrewson http://natalie-andrewson.tumblr.com/
