Episode 278 - Catching Up with Martheus Wade (Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa)

It's been way too long since Ian sat down with longtime friend of the show, Martheus Wade to talk shop, so here they are! Martheus is currently in the process of putting out a new Toshigawa Universe motion comic on YouTube as part of a relaunch of his baby, Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa. They also discuss Martheus' past and how the Toshigawa Universe came to be in the first place, how digital comics is creating a pathway for creators to get their books out there, what it takes to make a motion comic and the pieces that came together behind the scenes to make it happen, his part in the Heal the Hood Foundation and placing comic book vending machines in schools around Memphis, and so much more. That includes some sentai and Power Rangers talk, obviously, because how could we not?

You can find more information on everything Toshigawa at toshigawauniverse.com and on Instagram and Bluesky, and you can follow Martheus on Instagram, and check out his other YouTube channel, Wade's World, and his Patreon.
