Transcribe →Matthew Clarke, Nigel Lynch, & Jazmine Joyner talk all things Megascope Comics!
Feb 1402:02:45Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailTonight, we have 2 interviews for you! First, we talk to Matthew Clarke and Nigel Lynch about their Caribbean fantasy, Hardears. Then, we talk to Jazmine Joyner about their southern gothic horror title, Devour! These interviews are part of our 2026 Megascope/Abrams interview series! Be sure to tune in on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch!Hardears:The story takes place in an alternative world on Jouvert Island; a magical analog of the island of Barbados and begins when a superstorm of unprecedented strength obliterates the island, leaving it totally defenseless.As the island reels from the devastation, Mr. Harding, the head of the Merchant Guild, charges in and promises to rebuild the economy of the island by creating jobs in his giant corporation. However, it’s soon discovered that Harding is a parasite and is capturing people from the island and using their life essence or vibes to feed his factories.Bolo, a local hero, saves his love Zahrah from Hardin and cronies but the lovers are then framed as rebels against the state. The state has been compromised by the factories and the workers who know the truth about Harding must go into hiding. If Bolo, Zahrah, and their allies don’t take down Harding and the corrupt government, all will be lost. Together, they must find the strength of their island and ancestors to fight the evil forces that have taken over their homeland.Devour:In the Deep South, something evil waits in the darkness . . .Devour tells the story of the Turner family, who move to Alabama to care for their ailing matriarch, Vassie, when she begins suffering from dementia. But Vassie isn’t just any old lady; she’s the last of a line of powerful root women who have been caring for the community since her ancestors were first captured and enslaved by white plantation owners.Patsy, the eldest daughter in the family, is immediately suspicious; the locals’ fear and superstition of her grandmother leads Patsy to take a closer look at the Turner family home, and what she finds is beyond her wildest nightmares.Devour is a terrifying new fable that delivers thrills and chills in equal measure#graphicnovels #blackbookstagram #comics #authorinterviewsAs always, come and hang out with us as we discuss our recent pulls, what we’re reading, what we’re watching, and anything else that comes up in the chats!!—---------------------The Pink Riot Comic Show is a live talk show podcast that discusses all things nerd with a Black feminist perspective in comic books, novels, TV, and film.
