“Beyond the Synopsis” is a show from PopCultHQ‘s podcast – PodCultHQ – where we interview comic book creators and discuss their latest project(s). It might be the next exciting issue of a miniseries or ongoing, an upcoming title launch, a pre-order push, or the release of a trade paperback, hardcover collected edition, or an original graphic novel. And while a synopsis provides a sample of what you can expect with any release, “Beyond the Synopsis” seeks to explore the project(s) even further. Through interviews with the creator(s), we provide even more reasons for you to check out, pick up, pre-order, or snag yourself a copy.
For episode six of BEYOND THE SYNOPSIS, I spoke with two-time guest Adam Rose about his new title at Titan Comics entitled HUGE DETECTIVE.
The writer and comic book creator from Los Angeles has written such comics as PLAYGROUND: Attack of the Gurgle Bots (Markosia Entertainment), COROLLARY (Source Point Press), and now HUGE DETECTIVE (Titan Comics).
Not only did the premiere issue receive waves of raves from fans and reviewers, comic creators, including comedian Patton Oswalt (MINOR THREATS), gave high praise on social media…

HUGE DETECTIVE is a fun, strange detective story that begins BIG but ends BIGGER. @adamrose74 and @magentaking are creating a unique universe here filled with wonder, chaos, and giant-sized questions. I can't wait for more. https://t.co/2j6YvrElgQ
