Cryptid Creator Corner from Comic Book Yeti
Arts:Books
Today I'm joined by a new guest on the show, Jim Krueger. Jim is an Eisner Winner, was a creative director with Marvel, has worked on many a comics property including Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Batman, Superman, the Earth X Trilogy, and is now collaborating with Grammy Nominated EDM megastar Steve Aoki on a new hybrid comics/prose graphic novel called Hiroquest: Genesis and Double Helix. Hiroquest follows teen Hiro, pronounced hero, a genetically augmented human who is bouncing around the multiverse four hundred years into the future to save planet Earth from impending doom. He’s looking for ten rings from ten separate worlds and he’s got a set of superpowers to help him out courtesy of a group of doctors that augmented him: flight, super strength, and a sort of ESP or special insight courtesy of the third eye. Switching back and forth between prose and comics, this is one of the more unique projects I've seen in some time. The chapters correspond to Steve's album of the same name and there are many Easter Eggs in the text referencing it. Make sure to check it out as it is in stores now.
