301. Greg Rucka on the importance of language

It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show! We go typical Mimi and Greg style with tangents, current events and a good old fashioned Rucka Rant!

In this episode we discuss the importance of language and communication. Greg also shares his take on the ongoing investigation into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago docs.

298. Bernard Chang on Monkey Prince, AAPI representation and art

Bernard Chang artist/designer, best known for his work in the comic book industry and entertainment design. Bernard has worked on some of the most iconic superhero books, including WONDER WOMAN, SUPERMAN, SUPERGIRL, XMEN THE NEW MUTANTS and is currently collaborating with our mutual friend Gene Luen Yang on DC’s Monkey Prince.

297. Greg Rucka on pain, laughter and Lazarus update!

Greg Rucka and I pick up from our previous episode and philosophize about pain, therapy and learning as we age.

I know it sounds heavy, but we actually kept it light, (for us). We share some laughs and discuss why laughter truly is the best medicine.

293. Greg Rucka on The Old Guard 2, current events and entertainment

Greg Rucka has been busy on the set of The Old Guard 2. I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since our last podcast. It was great to catch up with Greg and hear about the ins and outs of the film production process. It wouldn’t be a typical episode without a Rucka rant on current events: Roe V Wade, voter suppression, gun control and the problematic Supreme Court.

290. Gene Luen Yang on writing Shang Chi, American Born Chinese and Monkey Prince

Gene Luen Yang is an award wining author and comic creator of American Born Chinese which is soon to be a television show on Disney+. He also shares updates on DC’s The Monkey Prince and Marvel’s Shang Chi. Gene is creating a new graphic novel called Lunar New Year Love Story with LeUyen Pham and an adaptation of video games Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.

288. Brian K. Vaughan on comics, writing and life

I’m trying very hard to contain my excitement in this episode. Brian K. Vaughan is one of my favorite comic writers and I was thrilled he agreed to come on the show. He was so gracious to spend over an hour talking comics, writing, and
collaboration.

I am so grateful to share these thoughtful conversations with humans that I admire so greatly. Brian was kind enough to entertain all of my questions about his childhood, the inspiration behind his stories, and his favorite books and shows.

278. Phil Jimenez on Wonder Woman, mentors and gratitude

Phil Jimenez is an Inkpot, Diamond, and Wizard-award-winning writer and artist who has worked for DC Entertainment, Marvel Entertainment, and a host of other comic book companies for nearly 30 years.

He is best known for his work on Tempest, The Invisibles, New-X-Men, Wonder Woman, Infinite Crisis, Amazing Spider-Man, and now Wonder Woman: Historia, the Black Label graphic novel written by Kelly Sue DeConnick who I had on the show a few weeks ago.

272. Kelly Sue DeConnick on Wonder Woman Historia, Greek tragedy and Tae Kwan Do

My idea of a lovely afternoon involves talking with Kelly Sue DeConnick! She is the acclaimed comic book writer with works that include: BITCH PLANET, PRETTY DEADLY, AQUAMAN, CAPTAIN MARVEL & her newest release Wonder Woman Historia.

I enjoyed getting to know Kelly Sue in our first episode where we discussed her writing origins and her work on Captain Marvel.

270. Greg Rucka on podcasting, comic book publishing and RPG

Greg Rucka on podcasting, comic book publishing and RPG

It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show! At this point, do we even need an introduction? We discuss everything from Lunar New Year to Patreon and podcasting.

267. The World of Compass Comic

In this episode, I speak with the team behind the Image Comics’ adventure series COMPASS comic!

As most of you know I am fortunate to be pals with the one and only Greg Rucka. Greg collaborated with writers ROBERT MACKENZIE and DAVE WALKER (LAZARUS SOURCEBOOK) and artist JUSTIN GREENWOOD (Stumptown, THE FUSE, THE LAST SIEGE) to bring you this action-packed adventure.

258. Ed Brubaker on writing, comics, and tv shows

Ed Brubaker needs no introduction to comic book fans. Ed is one of the most acclaimed writers in comics, having won the Eisner and Harvey Awards for Best Writer five times, among others.

Ed shares his inspiration writing Pulp, Reckless, Friday, and Gotham Central. It was fascinating to hear his origin story on how he discovered comics and when his love for writing began.
