Episode #675: Interview with Tom Sniegoski – January 12, 2025

It’s special episode #675 this week, and to celebrate, I talk with Tom Sniegoski, who is the scripter for the upcoming Herculoids series from Dynamite Entertainment!

Tom and I talk about the animated series that started it all as well as take a deep dive into the various characters and what made this show a favorite of fans even decades later! Here’s how the comic is described: “The legendary planet of Amzot sits in the far reaches of deepest, darkest space. It’s a planet of extreme riches, but those who seek it out are routinely struck by untold disaster and terrible fates. Anyone who manages to survive to tell the tale speaks of horrific, imposing guardian monsters that protect it. Yet raiders and explorers continue coming, only to meet the Herculoids again and again! Set to debut in February 2025, the creators invite fans to adventure with the Herculoids as they protect their home, and even they will learn even bigger secrets about their planet.” Tom also discusses the art from collaborator Craig Rousseau, which many fans are also already looking forward to enjoying! Don’t wait–be sure to let your local comics shop know you want this book as soon as you finish listening to this fun interview!
