Off Panel Off Topic EP: Ep. 276 Phil Hester Talks Comics, VisionQuest & Danish Snack Chaos
Comic creator Phil Hester joins Jake and Tyler on Off Panel Off Topic for a conversation packed with behind-the-scenes stories from Swamp Thing, Green Arrow, The Bionic Man, and the Invincible Universe. From collaborating with Kevin Smith, Grant Morrison, and Mark Millar to getting a second shot at his dream assignment, Phil shares the persistence and creative thinking behind a career in comics.
Then, the guys dive into VisionQuest’s first episode, James Spader’s gloriously sarcastic Ultron, and Vision’s complicated search for identity. Plus, Marvel’s horror comics spark strong opinions, and Tyler’s return from Denmark brings an international edition of “What’s in My Mouth?” Expect comic-book deep cuts, questionable pronunciation, and plenty of off-topic chaos.
