This week in Episode #707, Wayne talks with Melissa F. Olson from Ahoy Comics’ Archaic trade paperback, which arrives in stores on September 17, 2025. This is Melissa’s first full-length comic book, but she also calls it the most personal story she has ever written. Here’s the book’s description: “ARCHAIC is a modern-day action-adventure following the newest residents of a sentient island populated by the gods and monsters of dead civilizations: a harried single mom and her three kids.” We talk about how this story came to be, who the various characters are, and what else we can expect from Melissa in the months ahead. Be sure not to miss this excellent conversation about Archaic, coming to your local comics shop soon! Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers Patreon member.
