Popverse's top stories of the day

• Harley Quinn is making April Fools Day 2025 one to remember with a not-so-sweet-smelling DC comic book special
• Watch the D&D, Warhammer, Mega Man, and more anthology panel Secret Level from Prime Video, filmed at NYCC 2024
• Nintendo's long-time Mario voice actor reveals the secret behind voicing Mario's Dad in the movie (and how it goes back to his original audition decades ago)

We get it; it can be daunting talking to some of the greatest creators in the comic book industry. That’s why, at C2E2 2024, Popverse video producer Ashley Victoria Robinson talked to them for you for a segment called Artist’s Alley Asks, where six of the leading talents in the biz answered five questions so searching that it was like getting a glimpse inside their very souls.

What are the questions? They’re everything you need to know about any creator tabling at a major comic book convention, is the answer. Specifically:

• What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re in Chicago?
• Which are you more excited for - the new Fantastic Four movie, or the new Superman movie?
• What are the must-have things you bring to every convention?
• Tell me something you’re NOT working on, but would drop everything for, for the right price?
• If you had an arch-nemesis, who or what would it be?

Just as Don Quixote was forever tilting at windmills, searching for Tim Seeley has an endless quest of his own, and it involves the search for something special and rare at each and every convention he attends. The never-ending need to find… “He-Man guys.” No, really, watch for yourself:

This feels like the ideal way to ingratiate yourself with Seeley at each and every convention from now on: bring him a Masters of the Universe figure, the more obscure the better. (Who doesn’t have a Clamp Champ to hand, so to speak?) Try it at the next show and see how it goes!

Keep your eyes peeled for more videos featuring Gene Ha, Cully Hamner, Rachael Stott, Soo Lee, and Jarrett Melendez each recorded at C2E2 2024.
