Ram V

I think this might be the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever done a podcast thingy?

Popped in here as a rare occasion since I was asked to talk about two of my favorite things:

Form and Food.

Thanks!

At this year's Lucca Comics & Games festival, I had the distinct pleasure of shaking hands with the talented (and unexpectedly tall!) @therightram.bsky.social and Filipe Andrade, co-authors of the wonderful RARE FLAVOURS.

Anand RK - Miracle Men Miracle Men Written by Ram V. Drawn and painted by Anand Radhakrishnan. Lettered by Aditya Bidikar We made this comic on a whim to see what we could accomplish. We're thrilled that it'll now be part...

I published one in the Blood Root anthology from Shing Yin Khor - it would later go on to include it in Black Mumba, so you can still read it there.

Another, I put up online for free though I don't think it's about now.

Miraclemen w Anand RK was another (expanded later) - anandrk.art/miracle-men

Really great interview between @riteshwriter.bsky.social and Ram V.

One of the best writers of comics talking to one of the best writers about comics.

Many months ago, Ram hit me up to ask if I'd consider unretiring for one last thing.

I asked him what he had in mind.

He'd decided not to renew at DC, and said he wanted to step away from superheroes, as well as just monthly DM comics.

I thought it over.

I said yes.

This is the collaboration I needed to read today. @riteshwriter.bsky.social has such a distinct voice as an interviewer that I feel lacks in modern criticism. And @therightram.bsky.social is one of my favorite writers in comics right now. Everyone should read this.

Was telling a friend while discussing the roll of urine and early metal working— this is exactly the sort of amazing factoid nonsense I store in my head…Y’know for stories/ideas.

A mountain sized Big Barda towers over Granny Goodness

Just nabbed most of the back issues for Ram V. and Evan Cagle's New Gods run.

Every new thing that I learned about this book had slowly been wearing me down, but it was this page and a well timed sale that pushed me over the edge. Super excited to get caught up!

4. New Gods by Ram V and Evan Cagle, along with many others...
I'm going to do a longer post about this, but New Gods is so good. It's got the narrative originality of Absolute Martian, the same mix of grand sweeping scale with beautiful art direction, and thoughtful intimate character writing!

Evan Cagle and Ram V panel featuring Big Barda, an armoured Amazon, behind her husband Mister Miracle, a brightly coloured god superhero with a green opera cape and a red yellow costume.

Thinking about how much I love Mister Miracle, the trickster of the New Gods, constantly bedevilling cosmic fascism and refusing, flat out, to be restrained.

Congrats!

First football, now baseball. We might be sports buddies, GWW.

In a comic book panel monarchs from Babylon, Peru, and Egypt all look at the reader with a disapproving stare. A caption reads, "We founded human civilization, and what you just posted makes us regret it all." A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

I love Riccardo Federici fer givin' us this incredible set of panels with their very, very judgy faces.

(Art sampled from "The New Gods" Vol. 1 #3 by Ram V, Riccardo Federici, Francesco Segala, Tom Napolitano, James Reid, Ben Meares, and Rob Levin. Edits: Caption.)

Meme worthy

Who would've thought DeSaad was always a bad bitch?😭

Jack Kirby's Orion and Scott Free in contrasting panels on a comic book page by me and Ande Parks. Words by Ram V.

Ol' @therightram.bsky.social spoiled it at the bad place, so have a peek. We dragged poor @andeparks.bsky.social out of ink-retirement to do a little New Gods vignette. Orion & Young Scott Free!

Indeed.

Our cluster of content on Ram V and Filipe Andrade's "The Many Deaths of Laila Starr" is over but not forgotten!

Here's a recap of what we covered, starting with “An Introduction to ‘The Many Deaths of Laila Starr.’” 1/6

Let's talk about The Many Deaths Of Laila Starr by Ram V

Roadrunner - a treatise on the marriage between capitalism and american exceptionalism.

The roadrunner cartoon says things about life. I'd be deeply suspicious of someone who draws their morality from Roadrunner cartoons.

Superheroes themselves are flattening of the human experience. They're icons, symbolic of us, our beauty and our flaws. In flattening that again to try and extricate some sort of moral wisdom - is to remove all nuance from it. (2)
