The Retro Project Episode 1 - Gerry Conway Interview

Intro by Steve J. Ray, Interview conducted by Steven Conroy.

 When we started Fantastic Universes two years ago, it was just a father/son operation.

 Over the following 24 months many friends, colleagues and fellow writers joined us from all across the web: Dark Knight News, Earth9DC and DC World. In that time we also launched a podcast and built relationships with many terrific independeny comics publishers, andthe amazing Comic-Biz-Store.

 Today sees another momentous step forward... 

 One of our first new writers - and the man responsible for getting me into podcasting - is Steven Conroy, This dude is one of the men behind Saturday Detention and the creator of the amazing Retro Project Podcast. The latter show is for everyone into classic movie soundtracks, vintage video games and the legendary comic books of the 80s and 90s.

 The Retro Project has officially joined the Fantastic Universes family, and I couldn't be prouder.

 The first episode that we're launching with is part one of an interview with a man who can only be described as a comic-book legend... I do NOT use this term lightly.

Gerry Conway

Gerry is comic-book veteran and TV scriptwriter whose accolades and creations cannot be over-estimated. He co-created the Punisher for Marvel, and wrote the legendary "Death of Gwen Stacy" storyline in Amazing Spider-Man.

 For DC Comics he's known for co-creating Firestorm, and for writing Justice League Of America for EIGHT YEARS! If that wasn't enough, Gerry also gave fans the first major, modern day inter-company crossover with the classic Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man!

 Here's part one of this incredible interview, conducted by Fantastic Universes writer and podcast guru, Steve Conroy. Trust me... you won't believe your ears!

Ray Wild Cards: Now And Then  is a brand new graphic novel based in an alternate reality and shared universe co-created by George R.R.

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from
