Let's Talk Comics Episode 32: Brett Bean Talks D’ORC and Making the Comics He Always Wanted

We’re kicking off the new year of Let’s Talk Comics with creator Brett Bean.

Brett joins the show to talk about the long road that led him back to comics. He shares how working in video games, animation, and other creative industries helped shape his approach, and why he ultimately chose to start over and focus on the medium he always loved most. We talk a lot about process and treating art like problem solving instead of waiting around for inspiration.

We also dig into Brett’s new Image Comics series D’orc. Brett breaks down the heart of the book and the balance between humor and violence. There's also talk about why character always comes first for him. He closes out talking about what the the bloodthirsty enchanted shield is all about but also, building a fantasy world that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Then he ends with what he hopes readers connect with in the story.

It’s a laid-back, honest conversation about making comics and finally betting on yourself.
