Chuck is a guy who truly captures the action hero. His characters a written with a surprisingly good depth and he’s been able to write some of the most memorable stories in comics.
It almost happened years ago when Microsoft was going to get into television/movie studios. These was a deal but then the division got scrapped. This was back in the x-box 360 days, I think.
Chuck Dixon is the man! I enjoyed so much of his stuff for so many years and was a bit sad the big two shunned him. It really didn't make any sense to me because I never felt him ever, ever pushing any sort of agenda on me. His work was just really great storytelling!
Great episode. I always enjoy Chuck's videos on his channel, but I'm always willing to listen to other people's chat with him. I hope in the future you do a video with Jim Shooter.
I’ve said this before but I think we as people have lost the ability to disagree but still respect each other This next generation are so emotionally immature and if things don’t go there way or don’t think the way they do they revert to trying to cancel or even go as far as violence Hopefully in comics we are starting to see a pushback in this Excellent discussion again Mark
I may not have the same politics as Dixon but he comes off as a wonderful, humble and smart guy. He should be allowed to work on whatever he would like at this point.
Chuck is/was/will forever be the best Batman writer ever. Add Nightwing, Robin, Bane, Richard Dragon, Shiva, etc… He is greatly missed on those titles BUT I enjoy re-reading his books over and over.
Stallone's actorial rewriting sounds okay, but nothing compared to Rutger Hauer's excellent rewrites for the 1992 science fiction classic Split Second, which made the film's director have a kind of nervous breakdown and quit, leaving others to finish the masterpiece off. Wikipedia says the film is only popular due to its "unintentionally hilarious" nature, but Wikipedia are simply philistines. What other film ends with the hero and heroine getting blasted clear of an explosion, landing on the floor, and then they start getting off with each other? No other film has that. And Rutger Hauer wrote that Blade Runner end speech too - that's like the third best thing he did, after this and Hobo With A Shotgun. RIP Rutger, too brilliant for this sad reality!
I've... UGHOO... seen things you people... UGHOO... wouldn't believe. Choppa's on fire in the middle of a non-descript South American country. All those moments will be lost in time like nukes in the rainforest. UGHOO!
Another great interview. It's really heartening to me to know so many really great experienced and seasoned creators are around and going forward with their talents. And I agree; Chuck doing a long Cap run would be incredible.
Can the interviews please be extended from an hour. A lot of the first hour is creating the rhythm of the convo and then when it starts really hitting a stride it feels like it immediately ends. Really enjoyed the interview though. I'm really enjoying your interviews so far. I think yours is going to become one of my favorites next to Cartoonist Kayfabe and DanielFee33. I just wish there was more interest from the fans in the actual creators and comic book history. Lastly, one creator I really want to hear from is Marjorie Liu. Her book Monstress is one of my favorite comics coming out and I really haven't heard much from her about it. As well as Joelle Jones. Who had controversy recently which I think was blown out of proportion would be good to hear from. As far as some older heads that are great....maybe Mike Grell or maybe Janette Khan or Karen Berger.Just some ideas.
For anyone not aware.....Chuck has a yt channel where he posts regular "Ask Chuck Dixon" videos, answering all types of fan questions. He has some great insider stories.
@@HrvojeGrahovac Yep. I'm definitely on board for that. And I really enjoyed "Hunter Ninja Bear". The 2nd chance campaign for it is still open on indiegogo.
Maybe if they hired Mark Millar to take over Marvel Heroes Reborn/Marvel Knights style, Marvel wouldn't suck. We could get Chuck back on Punisher, doing Cap and FF. Millar has already done X-men, but what about Millar doing Thor or Hulk? Heck....maybe they can bring back John Romita Jr back to Thor and Punisher too.
There are stories of people in the industry ganging up on and trying to "cancel" other creators in the industry back then. When people say it's a new thing I can't help but think of Michael Fleischer. The only thing different about right now is social media making it all even more public. The only reason we even know about that one is because of a court case. It was pretty public, though, since it involves interviews and panels at cons.
Somebody within the industry actually acknowledging Dixons greatness? We can't have that. His era of bat books, with denny editing, was the greatest bat family era to me, bar none. Yes, better than what Miller or morrison or even denny himself did
Babe Race 2000 got me into comics and ruined me for anything else - to my generation of pre-adolesents who were raised on 18 certificate movies - ultra violence and big-tittied-porno-bitches was my ultimate jam. Years later reading authority transfer power and connecting the point that same guy wrote both was totally mind blowing.
Chuck sounds so reasonable here about political differences... until you remember that he's buddies with a literal NEO-NAZI. I don't throw that word around lightly. Dixon claims he didn't know that when he went to work for Vox Day, but when he was informed, rather than saying "ok, there has to be a line drawn somewhere, thank you for letting me know, now I'm not going to align myself with blatant racism" he doubled down, played the victim, and kept writing a book that promoted Qanon.
Although I'm not sure about that specific label, it seems at very least a matter of "not a NN, _but..."_ kind of thing, technicalities or a gray area the "a-right" vs "a-lite" thing. A rather sad and disappointing association, nevertheless, even if not eerily aligned with views of NNs, other quotes from him one can find are often just like what one would imagine of lazy parodies of "harder" RW-thought. I'm no conservative or RWr, but how I wish there were more sane and morally defensible RWs/conservatives (to whom the association with NNs would be just untenable, as they'd be also opposing them, and not just by saying BS like "Ns were really left-wingers") instead of this bunch that seems to have become mainstream and near-mainstream recently. Weird times.
Chuck is a legend. I'm a conservative Trump supporter and marks comics right now are deff my favorite but mainly moved to Manga. There are no conservatives in the comic industry because dei means left wing ideology only. Hope the left comes back to reality at somepoint
Wait a moment? Comic creators talking about the culture war but in a grown up and insightful way. This will never do.😂 Another great Millar time.
I just want that Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan Fantastic Four run now.
Seeing Chuck's Bane shelf is a treat
Chuck is a guy who truly captures the action hero. His characters a written with a surprisingly good depth and he’s been able to write some of the most memorable stories in comics.
Excellent interview,Mark! I’ve been reading Chuck’s work since the 80’s! I don’t care about politics ,I care about the story! Thanks again !🎯❤️👍
Chuck Dixon on a three-year run of Captain America or two years on the Fantastic Four would be phenomenal.
Dixon is a legend. Lot of fun reading again your Marvel and DC runs.
Just catching up with this, fantastic interview!
Comic veterans like Dixon really deserve better.
What a legend.
I really liked this interview, guess I have no choice but to check out more :)
Chuck is one of the best to ever work in the biz. I would love to see winter world as a TV series.
It almost happened years ago when Microsoft was going to get into television/movie studios. These was a deal but then the division got scrapped. This was back in the x-box 360 days, I think.
We need Chuck Dixon and Millar new comic series or expansion of the king of spies universe.

This is a great channel, thanks for putting a face and a voice to some many credits names from my youth.
A 3 year run on Captain America is a great idea. Marvel have nothing to lose right now making that investment.
Absolutely spot on, there are very few good runs now, just 6 issues or 12 then restart, there are no such things as legendary runs.
i just googled Night Club, looked at the synopsis and covers.
#1 Dec 14th and #2 in January! Mark, you mad lad. This'll be fun.
It was great!!
Great episode. I always enjoy Chuck's videos on his channel, but I'm always willing to listen to other people's chat with him. I hope in the future you do a video with Jim Shooter.

Excellent discussion again Mark
This is one of the best comic podcasts out there. Great list of creators so far
Great show
The Crossgen body of work is almost all excellent.
I may not have the same politics as Dixon but he comes off as a wonderful, humble and smart guy. He should be allowed to work on whatever he would like at this point.
There used to be a time when you never knew a creator's politics and it wasn't an issue
humble and smart guy. lol. he's friends with actual white supremacists
Chuck is/was/will forever be the best Batman writer ever. Add Nightwing, Robin, Bane, Richard Dragon, Shiva, etc… He is greatly missed on those titles BUT I enjoy re-reading his books over and over.
I love this podcast. Mark is such a funny natural. Seems like a good guy.
He does a great job letting his guests speak without being interrupted constantly. It's a good series of videos.
Dixon/Nolan Punisher & Cap stints, before you let them have the reins to Marvel's 1st Family. Build up to that.
Mark, check out Chuck's Valkyrie mini series(with Paul Gulacy) from eclipse. Pretty underrated stuff.
heck yeah. now we need a Graham Nolan interview
Nah - he has his own bbc1 talkshow.
@@joedent3323 haha you must be thinking of another guy
Yes Graham Nolan
Chuck is an amazing writer! He ruled the batman and Punisher books in the 90s!
Wow, really enjoyed that. Chuck seems like a cool guy you can just chat with about anything and everything.
Now this is a true king. God bless Chuck Dixon.

Thanks for mentioning that Split Second movie, because I didn't know it existed, and I just found it for free.
Always loved Chucks stories. Entertaining first and foremost rather than showing off with gimmicks.
I just want Chuck Dixon back on Tim Drake so he can fix the character. Great interview
Another great interview. It's really heartening to me to know so many really great experienced and seasoned creators are around and going forward with their talents. And I agree; Chuck doing a long Cap run would be incredible.
Oh hell yeah this is gonna be a banger
to mark millar how do i write a comic book can you help me
Awsome. Love war journal punisher
much appreciated.
Chucks SpongeBob comics are great also!
Big ups Chuck Dixon 😎👍

He also wrote with Sly Stallone a Rambo prequel book called First Kill
@@HrvojeGrahovac Yep. I'm definitely on board for that.

@@paulreilly2304 backed it on Kickstarter.
DIX OUT FOR DIXON! HAIL, CG!!!
AWESOME interview!
damn I feel that chuck, I've had a lot of jobs too
The intros with Mark’s children are great 👍🏻
Eeeeeeee, my favorite comic writer 😍😍😍😍

I think the clique is the worst thing about mainstream comics
Gonna say this for the future, I liked mark millar before he was cool
Impossible! He’s ALWAYS been cool!
@@gkirkpatrick1004 i agree but it seems like millar is catching up to more normies now. Im one of those weirdos that loves his unfunnies and civil war
