And welcome to the Riot Family!!🥰

Summary of Genius Vol. 1:
What if the greatest military mind of our generation was born to a people who are already supremely conditioned to wage war, who know nothing but violence from birth and must continually adapt to new predators in order to survive? This action-packed book contains the full story of a city that declares war on a brilliant young woman pushed to the edge. Collects PILOT SEASON: GENIUS #1 & GENIUS #1-5.

We apologize deeply for any technical difficulties in this episode!!

Tonight, 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

This week, we talk to Alysia Anderson about her comic, Cosmyx, The Time Witch! We have a time talking with her about her inspiration and how she balances the American comic format and heavy manga influences in Cosmyx! And by the way, did we say that Cosmyx is brilliantly drawn by Asia Fulmore!!! Black women are WINNING!!

Summary: The happenstance meeting of Dorothy, a high school delinquent, and wealthy heiress Constance Grove sets into motion an ancient, mystical prophecy. Turns out Dorothy is a Time Witch! A breed of magical users who were thought to be extinct. Constance, a witch of a different sect and a vigilante by night, takes it upon herself to train Dorothy in order to protect the young witch from those determined to erase time witches for good, while fighting some magical crime as a vigilante along the way.

It's Batman Beyond meets Sailor Moon with a witchy twist - It’s Cosmyx, The Time Witch!

And as always, come hang out with us as we discuss our recent pulls, what we’re watching and reading, and anything else that comes up in the chats!!

Is this a new segment for Pink Riot? Maybe a book club?? idk!! Come prepared to talk about our Riot Review read, Upgrade Soul by Ezra Clayton Daniels, Introduction by Darren Aronofsky and Afterword by Karama Horne (The Blerd Gurl), published by Onipress! And join us with our special guest, Lady Mandalore from Room Full of Blerds!!

Summary: For their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental rejuvenation procedure, but their hopes for youth are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award-winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity-Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you? This page-turning graphic novel follows the lives of Hank and Molly as they discover the harsh truth that only one version of themselves is fated to survive. (Onipress)

And as always, come and hang out with us as we discuss our recent pulls, what we’re watching, and anything else that comes up in the chats!!
