Gil: The MUTANT SEASON

So my middle son Gil has a Nerdist Industries podcast and his own twitter account. He learned about entertaining and putting on shows from Mo Fathelbab and the NerdMelt crew over the Summer break in 2011. He wasn’t sent to camp or participated in other seasonal activities because hanging at Meltdown Comics and the NerdMelt Theater was all he wanted to do. Katie Levine, who produces podcasts for Chris Hardwick, spotted Gil when he was on Mo and DC Pierson’s Nerdy Secrets show. She gave him a test run and it went beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, more than 10 episodes in, “The Mutant Season with Gil” is picking up steam and picking up followers.

Please take the time to check out some of my son’s past shows. Hope you find them to your liking. If you do, please “Like”, follow and/or comment on iTunes: https://bitly.com/itunesTheMutantSeason

Digital comics: Nemesis or sidekick to comic book culture?

Some say the animation and sound effects threaten the aesthetic foundation and could wipe out comic shops. Others say the medium is bringing badly needed new readers and innovation.

Chris Rosa manages Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. New readers who become interested in digital comic books might eventually want to collect paper issues, but “the jury is still out on that one,” Rosa said. (Rick Loomis / Los Angeles Times / July 21, 2010)

It’s a book! It’s a cartoon! It’s … digital comics!

Technology, which has already upended the music, television and movie businesses, is now gripping the comic book world. Publishers are unleashing a torrent of digital comic books across smart phones, tablet devices, game consoles and digital book readers, portending major changes in how comics are made and marketed.
