Our Critical Assignment returns with a new episode taking a look at the premiere of a new Six Million Dollar Man comic book. John and Paul have mentioned The Bionic Man and The Bionic Woman comic books in the past and have found them both to be enjoyable series that offer bionic fans a little bionic action in a modern world. But now, Dynamite Comics, which produced the two former books, is producing a comic book that will take place in the continuity of the original series. The Six Million Dollar Man Season 6 will pick up where the fifth season left off with Steve facing off against a familiar (for us) foe. So what can one expect in this new series? John and Paul sit down with the driving force behind the development and writing of this new comic, James Kahoric. They talk writing for a tie-in property, Jamie Sommers place in this sixth season, and more. 00:00 - Show introduction 02:00 - John and Paul 05:00 - Paul introduces James Kuhoric 06:00 - James' personal connection to the Six Million Dollar Man 08:15 - How the idea came to James 09:40 - Convincing Dynamite 12:30 - James' approach to the Six Million Dollar Man 14:30 - What makes Steve Austin special? 16:15 - Capturing the 'voice' 18:45 - The 70s 19:00 - Juanan Ramirez 20:30 - Capturing the likeness Steve, Jaime, Oscar, and Rudy 23:35 - Familiar character cameos 25:00 - Maskatron 29:40 - Jaime Sommers 33:45 - What Six Million Dollar Man teaches us 37:30 - Major challenges 42:00 - Beyond the first arc 44:00 - "Pal" 44:40 - Find James Kuhoric on the web 45:25 - Sign-off James Anthony Kuhoric is a multi-award winning author of fiction.
