Kris Simon

Hi, Kris Simon here. I’ve worked for Image, Skybound, IDW and now Mad Cave. You probably know my work from ShadowHawk, Bomb Queen, Morning Glories and if you’re a mobile gamer, Summoners War. And the soon to be Nakama Press manga line in 2025!

Two things I was introduced to that kinda blew my mind in very different ways!

I watched John Carpenter's The Thing for the first time mere hours before recording this podcast! It was awesome, I had so much fun, everyone should listen. 🩸

We're back with an amazing lineup for Season 3! Episode 13 launched this morning, go check it out wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts! Kicking it off with Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook talking about David Lynch...😱

This was so fun!! 🫈🙌🏼

On Bluesky? All of us

The sleek elegance of Spider-Man’s black costume. The snarling rage of Punisher. The sweeping, cinematic scope of Secret Wars. Mike Zeck’s art is a joy to behold. spfanpodcast.substack.com/p/the-origin...
