the phantom

No your eyes do not deceive you - It is a shorter podcast than most.

Jermayn Parker and Dan Fraser join to quickly discuss the news about Moonstone publishing new Phantom comics from the first half of 2024. You can read our initial report here.

Like you, we have questions, heaps of questions. So we go over our own questions plus recap what we do know.

We go over our initial responses plus why this is important news. We discuss the state of new Phantom stories release from USA since Moonstone lost the license 10 years ago and how it all coincides with the TV show in development, the new video game and how the NECA figurines was popular with high in demand sales.

What we do know about the new series is: 

• The stories will be serialised  - think the KGB Noir issues and or what Frew release. 
• Each story will be around 50 pages (give or take) and the comics themselves will be around 50 pages (give or take).
• Will feature several stories including stand alone Phantom story and a cross over story with Mandrake and Lothar.
• Some stories will be in black and white.
• Released bi monthly.
• Mike Bullock will be the main writer.
• Argentinian Sergio Ibáñez will be one artist. Others to be named.
• First comic will be out in the first half of 2024.
• Majority of the stories will be about the 21st Phantom in today’s modern Africa

The questions we would like to see answered:

• Will there be variant covers?
• Is it a continuation of the previous Moonstone continuity or a new start? ie will we see the same bad guys like Ali Gutaale, Temur Singh, Arthur Locke, Anna Bacia and Manuel Ortega?
• If it's a new start: Will the Moonstone stories have a consistent lineage of historical Phantom's and the Phantom bible? 
• How they go about fitting their tales into the existing universe and/or extending on that / breaking that
• Will they reprint the old stories again?
• Will the issues be standalone stories or part of a wider arc?
• What stories must I read from a decade ago to follow on from what will be told in 2024?

Now as mentioned in the article, we will be having Mike Bullock and hopefully Joe Gentile as well on a future podcast so if you have your own questions we did not ask or answer, please send them to our email address chroniclechamber@gmail.com or chat with us via our social media profiles in Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram.

Recently Art of Play Games released some new in game screenshots on the Phantom Video Game and the phan community was very excited so we thought it is best to catch up with him. Join Jermayn Parker and Stephen East as they go through the screenshots and ask all the questions to Ashley Nicholls.

Some of the questions we asked Ashley Nicholls are below. These questions were asked by phans that were sent to us or asked on the various social media accounts:

• Is July 2024 still the targeted release date?
• Any luck with Billy Zane? 
• Trailer of the story / video game coming out soon?
• Any plans for downloadable content?
• Any plans for alternative slipcovers?
• For those non gamers, what ‘collectable’ element would there be for us? 
• Will there be other collectable's to collect besides the actual video game?
• Will there be a crowd funding option?
• How do you plan to deal with the characters' relative obscurity outside selective countries like Australia, India and Scandinavia? Some parts of Europe and USA not exactly huge phans
• Will there be any codes or even cheat codes?
• Will there be print codes like on AFL cards or sister related products like the Fortnight comic?
• Playability in India and South America who do not use consoles?
• Is there room for a sequel or more Phantom video games?

Some key dates are July 2023 with the game trailer to be released. August / September 2023 for a crowd fund campaign for the collectable set. July 2024 for the release of the game. (Please note: Dates subject to change with possible delays)

In X-Band: The Phantom Podcast #247 Matt Kyme chatted with us about his involvement with the exciting Phantom video game. We decided it was best to release it as a separate sneak peak podcast for our next podcast.

This 16 minute podcast will hopefully be a good tease as our next podcast which will be with Ashley Nicholas who has more to share with us including some more visuals. Devour this podcast and if you have any further follow up questions you would like us to ask, please email them  through to us at chroniclechamber@gmail.com.

I hope you phans enjoyed that. We would love to hear your thoughts via YouTube Channel and or social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram). Make sure you stay with us and do not forget to subscribe and leave a review on our podcast and or our YouTube Channel. 

Every phan has an opinion so we have opened the podcast microphone and allowed several phans to voice their opinions on several key modern day topics. This podcast is the recorded conversation between Jermayn Parker and five other phans from around Australia and India. 

If you missed the open mic invite and are now kicking yourself for missing out and want to participate next time, keep an eye out on our website or social media platforms, you can also email us ahead of time to express your interest in our next open mic invitation. 

If your one of the phans who can only listen to some parts of the podcast, below is a timeline of what we discussed.

• Should we be moving to colour or are you happy with a mix of black and white and colour? 7 Minutes 30 Seconds
• If Frew needed to raise the price of the comic to keep up with costs would phans be ok with say 30c, 50c or even a $1 price jump? 18 Minutes
• Do you have any ideas for a Frew 75th Special? 21 Minutes
• Are you excited about the new Phantom video game? 29 Minutes
• What are your strategies for reaching a new audience of Phantom phans? 48 Minutes

* Please note there is the odd swearword in this podcast - maybe 5 in total. We apologise if you have sensitive ears ahead of time.

We would love your opinions on what we have discussed, so please email us at chroniclechamber@gmail.com or chat with us via our social media profiles with your feedback at Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram or leave a comment on our YouTube Channel. 

Jermayn Parker is the odd man out as he is joined not by one, or even two but three Swedes in Mikael Lyck, Andreas Eriksson and Jacob Habinc. For Those Who Came In Late: Andreas and Jacob are the editors for Fantomen and they give what we can look forward to for the year 2023. Mikael Lyck helps drill the two editors and we manage to get several exclusives from the editorial team.

We start off by learning about Jacob Habinc and Andreas Eriksson and their histories with the comic and their roles as joint editors for the magazine.

We then ask the questions about Fantomen 2023 and what we can expect. They will release the same amount of issues with the same amount of pages and a Christmas album and softcover album.

The best news is that we will see another hardcover collection book like we saw in 2022 with the Heart of Darkness book. They gave us one clue which is that the stories are Team Fantomen and drawn and written by the same creators. We think we have an idea of the theme, do you? Let us know in the comments or on socials.

Some of the other topics we touch upon are the future of the magazine, subscription and printing numbers, some of the new and or returning creators we will see in 2023 like Sal Velluto, Rafael Ruiz, Phillip Madden, David Bishop and Anna Weatherley. 

One interesting subject was how and why they select Frew stories to print in their own magazines. The other interesting path was how they plan to go ahead with the Sandal Singh and 22nd Phantom plots and how the death of Claes Reimerthi has caused them to rethink the future of the storylines.

The team interviews the man behind perhaps the biggest news of the last 10 years - the announcement of the Phantom video game by Art of Play Games. Thousands of phans from around the world were shocked, amazed and generally excited at the announcement. 

After the excitement sunk in, the questions flowed so we sat down with Art of Play games director Ash Nicholls who was very open and we think to say after two hours, there may not be many questions we didn't ask.

Some of the key questions that are answered in the podcast are:

• Is it a 2D or 3D style game?
• The genre of the game and why Art of Play Games chose this genre.
• The game levels and storyline
• Key dates including the digital, console and collector box release dates.
• What will be in the collector boxes
• The price points for the various ways of purchasing the game.
• Who are the artists and writers involved in the creation of the game.
• Will it be multi player?
• What generation of the Phantom is featured?
• What countries and locations will the Phantom be visiting?
• Will regular and known characters of the Phantom be included in the game?
• Will there be a morality clause with the game play that suits the Phantom ethos?
• What Phantom tropes will be non negotiable? 
• Is there room for an expanded “game universe” with other Phantoms or characters like Flash, Mandrake etc?
• When can we expect more images or gameplay footage?
• Easter eggs during the game
• Will the game play like a comic?
• Will there be a collectible element?
• How many units Art of Play Games need to sell to make a profit
• The ball park figure to make this game.

During the podcast, Ash asks for phan input on certain elements, so ensure you listen or watch and send your feedback to our comments sections.

Enjoy listening to our review of this cheesy superhero flick from 1996.  Superheroes have come a long way since Billy Zane's portrayal of 'The Phantom'.  For one, they no longer use questionable catchphrases like "nobody refuses The Phantom".  It's probably for the best.

After our popular X-Band: The Phantom Podcast episode #155 with DC Phantom writer Mark Verheiden, we had to talk to to the other half of the ever popular DC Phantom series, Luke McDonnell.

What follows is a packed 50 minutes of chatting with Luke as he talks all about the series plus much more including his favourite moments of the series, his time when he got to meet Lee Falk in person and how a certain cover was inspired by a Joe Kupert Tarzan cover. We also touch upon what he is doing now for Mr Comics and Art.

It may be short compared to other podcasts, but this 50 minutes is a must listen to any Phantom phan who has enjoyed the 1989-90 DC Phantom series.

Matt Kyme takes over the reigns of the X-Band: The Phantom Podcast and goes deep on the first Phantom story "The Singh Brotherhood" with a review that will sure cause a stir among some phans and die hard Falkists.
