Comic Crusaders Podcast #635 - Matthew Arnold

Matthew Arnold, the television and film writer known for NBC’s Siberia, Emerald City, and the thriller Shadow People, returns to the world of comics with Outer Lands, his newest sci-fi graphic novel from Comixology Originals. Featuring art by Davide Gianfelice and a powerful cover by Jock, this graphic novel delivers a genre-defying mashup that collides ancient history with modern weaponry, conspiracy, and the dangers of unchecked technology.

In Outer Lands, a young Grecian prince is exiled to a mysterious prison island, only to uncover a global secret that reshapes everything he believes. What begins as a sweeping historical epic rapidly evolves into a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. The story asks timely questions about artificial intelligence, nuclear anxiety, the allure of nostalgia, and the cost of resisting technological change.

During our conversation on the Comic Crusaders Podcast, Arnold dives deep into the creative process behind Outer Lands, the artistic chemistry with Gianfelice, and how Jock’s visual energy sets the tone from the cover onward. With unexpected twists, bold world-building, and razor-sharp relevance, Outer Lands stands as one of the most exciting upcoming releases in the Comixology Originals lineup.
