As a special feature of The Fanbase Weekly podcast, the Fanbase Feature focuses on and celebrates a specific element of geek culture.



In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon and special guests David Accampo (writer – Fanbase Press’ The Margins, Lost Angels, Spectral: A Showcase of Fear), Hannibal Tabu (co-writer of Humanoids’ MPLS Sound, The Sundering: The Nation Beneath Our Feet), Phillip Kelly (Fanbase Press Contributor, The POPSKL Podcast Group), and Art Ebuen (Emmy Award-winning animator, writer – California, Inc.) participate in a thorough discussion regarding Star Wars: The Acolyte (2004) in light of the first season’s recent conclusion, with topics including whether the series is too sympathetic to the Sith, how the show de-mythologizes the “heroic” Jedi Knights, whether we’re defined by what we lose or what we survive, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Acolyte abound in this panel discussion!)

This month’s sponsor: Alma #1 is on Kickstarter until July 23rd! Have you ever wondered why the hero that saves humanity is always the big, hulking guy or the beautiful blonde girl? What would happen if, for once, they chose a grandmother? Alma #1 seeks to answer the question: What if Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a 72-year-old grandmother? Working in her garden one day, Alma is struck with powers from above. Waking up, she is confronted by the Eternal Companion, Tyrone, who is a three-foot-tall talking garden gnome. This comics puts a spin on the Buffy legend, where Alma has to fight the monsters, vampires, and things that go bump in the night. This is a horror comic for everyone and was inspired by the creator’s own mother. Alma is a total of 48 pages, with 32 pages of comic story, plus a letters page, recipes from the creator’s mom, and even a few pages of her memoir. Check out and back the campaign now! The comic is 100% done so there are no risks.
