Badr Milligan

You set the bar high for funny and heartfelt interviews. Thank you for sharing your stories with me!

Badr is such a delight, I kept forgetting we were recording a podcast!

There's plenty more soundbites where that came from, on this week's podcast with @gronbekk.bsky.social , including a pretty funny convo about trying a Twinkie for the first time with Jason Aaron, and feeding Brian K. Vaughn's family reindeer

She also talked about living in the woods in Norway and surviving the winters. I don't know if I could do without the sun for months, but Norway sounds pretty cozy during Christmas

First, I know I'm late to this, but the origin of her name is already pretty badass (Torunn = "Thor's love"), and the fact she started her career with Thor? This is some Lifetime movie shit!

You can't walk into a comic shop now and NOT see @gronbekk.bsky.social name on several high-profile books

Some highlights from my convo with a real-life Norwegian badass comic writer 🧵

SBX Classic: Comic Book Auctions Explained: Inside Heritage Auctions with Brian Wiedman - The Short Box Podcast: A Comic Book Talk Show This episode was originally released in September 2023, as Ep. 401 Brian Wiedman a Comic Book Consignment Director at Heritage Auctions, joins the show for episode #401, to talk about the busy li...

I interviewed Brian Wiedman two years ago to talk about life as a comic book auctioneer at @heritageauction.bsky.social , and all the cool places he's traveled to find some of the world's rarest comics. It remains one of my favorite interviews to date

Since @heritageauction.bsky.social has been in the news for setting another world record for a comic book sale, I think it's a perfect time to remind everyone of the auctioneer who yet again is part of comic history:

Yoo! New SBX Merch is here. I'm talking about all new shirt designs, and for the first time ever: long sleeves and hoodies!

And none of that DTG bullshit, these will be high quality screen printed on Comfort Colors.

There's plenty more hip-hop stories and comic book talk where that came from, as well as some great introspection about fatherhood and creating art for the next generation, in the full interview

And we can't forget about the merch game! Czarface takes it to another level when it comes to their branding and visuals

Talking about the overlap between the two art forms of comics & hip-hop, Esoteric points to both art forms overexaggerated sense of confidence and cartoonish violence and braggadocio

Still trying to wrap my head around this one: We almost got Big L, Inspectah Deck, and Esoteric on the same track. Esoteric talks about the forming the group and some early song ideas:

Everything about Czarface, from the music, branding, and merchandise, is all steeped in Silver-Age comic book lore. And it's not just for show.

A few highlights from my conversation with group member @czarfaceeso.bsky.social 🪡

You guessed it, David and Chip are both on this week's SBX pod talking about digital collectibles vs NFT, the golden years of Comixology, creator rights and equity, and what the future holds for DSTLRY

For the visual learners, here's a screen recording of me scrolling the storefront on mobile view:

From the people who brought us Comixology and @dstlry.bsky.social, comes a bold new step into the future for digital comics:
