“Pants Optional” is PopCultHQ’s Zoom video interview feature where we connect with individuals within the comic book community. It’s a way to see/hear what creators have been doing during the pandemic, projects which may be in motion, and noteworthy events and happenings taking place in lieu of conventions, appearances, and the weekly NCBD grind.

MONSTER MATADOR: AFRIPOCALYPSE is a brand new monster-fighting adventure from the team that brought you MONSTER MATADOR: TANGO OF THE MATADORS – writer Steven Prince, Ringo-Award nominated artist Fábio Alves (THE JUMP, BANJAX), and colorist Alex Zief (CULT OF DRACULA).
Here’s a preview of this exciting new adventure!
