Extra Sequential’s own Mladen Luketin appeared as a guest (of honour) on American podcast, Sequelcast (the film podcast which reviews each film in a franchise, one film at a time), to discuss the woeful Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World, and the Jurassic Park comics from IDW.

Expect to hear unchecked cynicism, conspiracy theories, and goofy witticisms galore.

Why not get your ears in gear and head over to the Sequelcast website to hear more, says I?

Every year there’s some great Christmas cards from comics publishers. Here’s an assortment of 2011′s.

From Sonny Liew, creator of Malinky Robot.

UK publisher Com.x (45, Seeds, Blue Spear)

Archaia (Mouse Guard, Jim Henson’s Tale of Sand – my fave OGN of 2011!)

Here’s a treat from nerdcore band Kirby Krackle. You can grab their new single, focused on a certain crimson nosed reindeer right here.

and here’s a fitting pic that I put on the Extra Sequential Facebook page (become our friend if you aren’t already!) from artist Mike del Mundo. I think it sums up mine and Mladen’s comics leanings quite well.

Finally, here’s Broken Frontier, a wonderful site that I write for and at that very site is where you can find more cards from other publishers and creators.

Merry CHRISTmas!
