Daniel Warren Johnson Returns With CHAINKATA - Chainsaw Sci-Fi Epic!
Cartoonist Daniel Warren Johnson joins Dave to announce Chainkata, his ambitious, decade-in-the-making new sci-fi series from Image. Chicks with chainsaws! Johnson shares the origin of the book's chainsaw-wielding heroine and the experimental color techniques that brought it to life. The two discuss inspiration drawn from Richard Corben and manga masters, the emotional weight of his Eisner winning Absolute Batman Annual, and the meditative pull of the golf course. Plus, Long Island Bagels, Joe Madureira, Original art, and Frank Thorne's Red Sonja.Chainkata will be available through Image comics in November 2026.
