310. Greg Rucka on the state of the world today

It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show! I have missed my dear friend Greg Rucka who has been traveling for work on The Old Guard 2, attending comic cons in Europe and finally getting a little vacation time.

303. Greg Rucka on comic book collaboration and Lazarus Risen 7

It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show!
Lazarus Comic fans beware. Major spoiler alerts for Risen 7 lie ahead. For those that have not yet begun their Lazarus journey, Greg shares a lot of insight in the collaborative process in comic creation.

302. Brian Michael Bendis on creating new worlds and characters

I had so much fun catching up with comics creator Brian Michael Bendis. His newest comic book with artist André Lima Araújo, Phenomena, is a gorgeous fantasy adventure series which just hit shelves on September 14, 2022. Brian shares his inspiration for the series as well as his excitement and fears when creating new worlds and characters.

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.

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.

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.

275. Brett Jones on education, quotes and writing

I love welcoming back awesome recurring guests like SFG Chief Brett Jones. As usual, our conversation covers a lot of different topics. We discuss everything from AI to writer’s block.

Brett is currently in the process of writing a book and shares where he finds inspiration and motivation. It wouldn’t be a podcast episode without discussing tv shows and in this episode, we dissect one of our favorites, Battlestar Galactica.

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.

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.

253. Greg Rucka on tv shows and why social media is problematic

Welcome back to The Mimi and Greg Show where Greg Rucka and I just dive right in. As a matter of fact, I thought I’d leave our pre-roll chat in today, since at 40+ episodes, we pretty much are just vamping anyway.

250. Greg Rucka on climate change, voter suppression and comics

If you can’t get enough of The Mimi and Greg Show this episode will certainly hold you over! Greg Rucka and I chat about everything going on in the world right now.

We tackle climate change, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, voter suppression, comics, book recommendations, death, and how to find the zen we need in our lives right now.
