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 is joined by special guests David Accampo (writer – Fanbase Press’ The Margins, Lost Angels, Spectral: A Showcase of Fear) and Travis Rivas (founder – Super-Abled Comics, writer – Accidental Aliens, The Unstoppable Cherub) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding Aliens: Mondo Pest (1995) in light of the comic book one-shot’s 30th anniversary, with topics including how mercenary Herk Mondo seems to be a character born of the ’90s comic/video game/action figure era, if the Alien franchise is flexible enough for an action/comedy, if and how Herk Mondo should return again, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Aliens: Mondo Pest abound in this panel discussion!)
Cast members: David Accampo (writer – Fanbase Press’ The Margins, Lost Angels, Spectral: A Showcase of Fear), Travis Rivas (founder – Super-Abled Comics, writer – Accidental Aliens, The Unstoppable Cherub), and Bryant Dillon (Fanbase Press President, The Fanbase Weekly co-host, writer – Something Animal, Identity Thief)
