I want to see Sal explain his Predator on a Pirate Ship pitch to Josh. Tom King hated it, then Disney made Prey which opened the door for Pirate Ship Predator, let's see if Josh think that boat'll float.
I love these conversations with Josh; so much sincerity in his passion, enthusiasm and insight! My question for you guys is what other Marvel character(s) would you like to see vs Predator? I'd like to see the following Predator vs solo mini-series: 1. Daredevil (in NYC, like Predator 2) 2. Kraven the Hunter (in any environment really) 3. Punisher (because why not?)
So, for something I’d like for Sal and Josh to talk about, I want them to talk in a future episode about what the difference is between reading comics when you’re just a reader and when you become a creator. Also, for my question for Joshua, what is it like having to rebuild the mythology of G.I. Joe from the ground up and to, not only have fit for a modern audience (kinda similar to the Ultimate Universe in that regard), but also to have it connect to other books like Void Rivals and Transformers?
I’d be interested in hearing Sal and Josh talk about any tools/techniques that Josh might implement in his character development process to make his characters feel more realistic. Eg. mind maps, etc? And does he have any comics featuring characters/worlds of his own creation that might be in the pipeline? Thanks for the vids, guys. Really enjoying these talks! 👍
last question. as far as batman & robin goes, do you think maya ducard will ever make an appearance again? whether that be in batman or robin or in another comic. i feel like us fans really love her and think her friendship with damian should be brought back.
Donald Glover did a 30 minute Comedy Central Presents episode and then he got a deal for his hour-long Weirdo special with Comedy Central (I believe, but may have been HBO) and they did respond like Joshua suggested, specifically noting that Donald shouldn’t discuss male reproductive organs in Weirdo
What I love about comics is how much variety you can get. Almost always is there a conversation to be had one way or another! Only question I’d have is what would your pick be for a team up book from any side marvel or DC. great stuff as always ! Thanks eh
i’m curious about what would be a detailed breakdown of your productivity process? What apps do you use to write with and keep everything organized? Love the show guys thanks for doing this! 🙏
A question for the next episode! Do you guys have a favorite inside baseball behind the scenes story of a book that you think is more interesting than the story itself? Like I think the story behind the infighting and office politics around the Hobgoblin identity to be very interesting.
hello josh! so i have a question, not sure if you’ve answered this before but i know us fans are in love with flatline aka nika! but i’m wondering, do you have any plans for her character in the future? like for example, maybe a solo run which is highly anticipated by fans, or maybe exploring her slavic heritage more. as an eastern european myself i’d love for you to dive into her culture more & her background! other than that i think we’d all love for you to expand on her relationship with damian more, and get us some cute moments between them 🩷 maybee a little cameo in batman & robin?
Josh talks about picking up a comic off the shelf and reading the whole thing… I had a little bad experience at my LCS… when i was younger i would spend time at barnes and noble with my aunt just reading graphic novels and manga i would read for free since I was spending time in the store and buy the ones i really liked… then i became a pirate… flash forward to now i had been to this store a week before the incident spent 40 bucks on comics…. So i order some hot boys (chicken spot in oakland) so while waiting for my food i just chillin in the comic shop i head over to new releases and i believe wandavision is out so they have the darkhold event on the shelves i see cool versions of iron man and spiderman and a few others then i get blue balled to say they dont allow people to read books just sift thru my policy is if im reading the book and enjoying it ill purchase it on my way out was i wrong?
I think it’d be really interesting to hear you guys discuss miles spider-man in relation to Peter. That topic is kinda overdone by now but between spiderverse and the games and you guys being industry professionals I think you’d have some interesting takes
>wolverine was not at the pheonix saga What? He was? He was there for the ship crash and the moon showdown? Or was he talking from the other persons perspective?
You know sal loves spawn it would be hilarious to see you guys geek out over any 90s fad or the max...an mabey Josh will finally be sals foot in the door for a mini on tempis or rogalzar
![Secrets and Laughs with Chip Zdarsky and Joshua Williamson [Interview]](/img/1.gif)
This is honestly one my favorite new shows that comic pop created. Sal and Josh have fantastic chemistry and conversations.
I want to see Sal explain his Predator on a Pirate Ship pitch to Josh. Tom King hated it, then Disney made Prey which opened the door for Pirate Ship Predator, let's see if Josh think that boat'll float.
I second this!
Sal should talk about JMS' Spider-Man run with Josh
I’d love that. I just finished it last month!
Josh is the man! Been loving his Superman series, need to read his Green Arrow!
read his batman and robin run. that run, with only 3 issues is better than his superman run: imo.
I love these conversations with Josh; so much sincerity in his passion, enthusiasm and insight! My question for you guys is what other Marvel character(s) would you like to see vs Predator? I'd like to see the following Predator vs solo mini-series:
1. Daredevil (in NYC, like Predator 2)
2. Kraven the Hunter (in any environment really)
3. Punisher (because why not?)
Holy shit, Tempus Fuginaut or however you spell that showing up to get obliterated would’ve been too good. I would’ve died of laughter
I want sal and Josh to talk about what cheese they'd want their hair to become if all hair was magically replaced with cheese.
So, for something I’d like for Sal and Josh to talk about, I want them to talk in a future episode about what the difference is between reading comics when you’re just a reader and when you become a creator.

Joe from the ground up and to, not only have fit for a modern audience (kinda similar to the Ultimate Universe in that regard), but also to have it connect to other books like Void Rivals and Transformers?
Well if we are explaining stuff Sal loves, it has to be New Avengers.
Started venture brothers because of Sal mentioning it a few years ago!
I did the same thing to sign a sketch cover to Sal and Josh at nycc
Love Joshua with his comparisons to wrestling.
As a fan of both, the building and cycling of characters can be treated similarly
I’d be interested in hearing Sal and Josh talk about any tools/techniques that Josh might implement in his character development process to make his characters feel more realistic. Eg. mind maps, etc? And does he have any comics featuring characters/worlds of his own creation that might be in the pipeline? Thanks for the vids, guys. Really enjoying these talks! 👍
I want Sal to explain his love of Sleepwalker to Josh
Couldn’t click on this fast enough! Watching this bromance blossom has been as good as any comic run!
Sal and Josh 100 years!
I mean clearly, Red Ghost. There is no other.
last question. as far as batman & robin goes, do you think maya ducard will ever make an appearance again? whether that be in batman or robin or in another comic. i feel like us fans really love her and think her friendship with damian should be brought back.
JOSHUA THANK YOU FOR SAVING GREEN ARROW
Donald Glover did a 30 minute Comedy Central Presents episode and then he got a deal for his hour-long Weirdo special with Comedy Central (I believe, but may have been HBO) and they did respond like Joshua suggested, specifically noting that Donald shouldn’t discuss male reproductive organs in Weirdo
I want Sal to talk about Gen 13 with Josh
I need to save the scratch to catch up on comics like a month behind
I love this show so much, just seeing two people love comics
I love All-Stars! I think an episode dedicated to created ur own original teams, Marvel or DC and pitching the first arc for them would be cool.
What I love about comics is how much variety you can get. Almost always is there a conversation to be had one way or another! Only question I’d have is what would your pick be for a team up book from any side marvel or DC.
great stuff as always ! Thanks eh
I’d like to see Josh’s original art collection.
WE KNOW HE MUST HAVE SOME TUCKED AWAY!
i’m curious about what would be a detailed breakdown of your productivity process? What apps do you use to write with and keep everything organized? Love the show guys thanks for doing this! 🙏
can we please get sal explaining supernatural the TV show😂😀
Straight up my relationship with
Jon Stewart + Green lantern
34:53 That was ME!
This podcast is a highlight month every time it comes out
Rom Omnibus is the most preordered Marvel Omnibus of all time.
Rom fans are there somewhere. Don’t know where tho.
I would like to see sal explain to Joshua what his interviewing process is.
I would love to hear Josh's opinion about Dark Nights Metal and Death metal because there aren't to many event books that have a sequel.
For next time I would love to see you guys talk about manga.. specially one piece and dragon ball maybe or even some other anime.
I don't know if I like Sal and Tom King or Sal and Josh Williamson more.
Hot Take: while i do enjoy Williamson's Superman run, i think his Batman and Robin run is better.
Loving the show
MAN-THING WOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉
A question for the next episode! Do you guys have a favorite inside baseball behind the scenes story of a book that you think is more interesting than the story itself? Like I think the story behind the infighting and office politics around the Hobgoblin identity to be very interesting.
Josh rules!

Or last month when sal was talking about is youth with the 89 batman movie thats was great i love hearing stories about young sal
I think it’d be really interesting to hear you guys discuss miles spider-man in relation to Peter. That topic is kinda overdone by now but between spiderverse and the games and you guys being industry professionals I think you’d have some interesting takes
When is Josh going to be on the couch?
I’d like a modern DC - Marvel crossover. Could Warner & Disney play nice?
They totally could, it would benefit both of them
He sounds like Joel 😮
this freaking fantastic show in my opinion. :)
>wolverine was not at the pheonix saga
What? He was? He was there for the ship crash and the moon showdown? Or was he talking from the other persons perspective?
Sal and Josh talk Sleepwalker? (I think that's the one) Who's with me?
You know sal loves spawn it would be hilarious to see you guys geek out over any 90s fad or the max...an mabey Josh will finally be sals foot in the door for a mini on tempis or rogalzar
Josh, would you ever write for film or TV? Is there a lot of roadblocks for comic writers to make that jump?
1:15:53 Josh you sneaky bastard
Im interested to hear you’re opinions on a Superman game and why it is or isn’t hard to make
What are some of Josh’s favorite Superman books and why do they stand above the rest for him?
Joshua would like to go to Joefest?
hype
Sal and Josh talk Sleepwalker? (I think that's the one) Who's with me?
