Please welcome Brian Atkins to the microphone, brother to Robert and fellow artist, as this week's guest host!

Two new animations from Quinn...

Both of these were flip books I did in 7th grade or so. But it wasn't until recently that I animated them and added music and sounds. You can check out more of my stuff on my website, MrWonderfulProductions.com.

Just a peek at new artwork for Elders of the RuneStone...

©2011 Darkhan Studios, LLC

Corrupt technology magnate William Gunther finds something unusual...and pays the price. From issue #1, coming soon!

Also, sorry for the dearth of new podcast episodes. Got the new one recorded and will have it up very soon. That's what happens when your producer is on his honeymoon!

Green Lantern, He-Man, Iron Monkey, and More!: DARKHAN CITY PODCAST #71


Welcome to Episode #71 of the Darkhan City Awesome Comics Culture Podcast!

As you can expect from the title of this episode, Quinn and Robert suggest a fair number of properties as their “Picks of the Week.” From a discussion of how “Green Lantern” is faring at the box office to the voice actor behind He-Man and TMNT favorite Leonardo, this episode has a little something for everyone. Even Skeletor would be proud.

"X-Men: First Class" Review and Discussion: DARKHAN CITY PODCAST #70


Welcome to Episode #70 of the Darkhan City Awesome Comics Culture Podcast!

The Pantyhose Ninjas’ mutant power would be the ability to overuse redundant praises. That is far less cool than the effects on display in the newly released “X-Men: First Class.” Listen in as Quinn and Robert review and discuss the movie-- from the acting to the costumes to the conflict between mutants and men. Don’t forget your cast iron cup!

Picks and Kicks: From Superman to Sherlock: DARKHAN CITY PODCAST #69


Welcome to Episode #69 of the Darkhan City Awesome Comics Culture Podcast!

(click HERE to listen, or HERE to download the individual episode)

The Pantyhose Ninjas weigh in on Superman’s recent citizenship decision, then suggest checking out “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time,” “The Rocketeer,” and BBC’s “Sherlock.” What they don’t suggest is wearing nothing but a bathrobe while another of Ben’s “Swift Kicks” is lurking about.
