As part of 12 Days of The Comic Source, this Fireside Chat features Jace of The Comic Source welcoming back comic writer Heath Corson for an expansive holiday conversation that spans creator-owned work, DC history, and personal tradition. Corson reflects in depth on The Brood, discussing its autobiographical roots, family dynamics, narrative structure, and collaboration with Ian Culbard, along with the book’s word-of-mouth success within the Minor Threats universe. The discussion then moves through Corson’s DC career, including his breakout Bizarro series and its comedic influences, lessons learned early in his writing process, and the balance between creator-owned freedom and licensed storytelling. Corson also previews the upcoming Witness Point, co-created with Nathan Fillion, outlining its small-town mystery premise and creative themes without spoilers. The episode closes with a detailed look at Corson’s holiday traditions, from growing up with structured Hanukkah gift nights to hosting large Italian Christmas Eve meals, cooking as a creative outlet, and how food, family, and storytelling intersect during the season.
