Hunters of Sheydim is a comic book about twin sisters who are agents of the Baalei Shem Tov, a secret order of Jewish demon hunters. We had the creator of the book, Jeff Marvin, on the Part-Time Fanboy podcast back in December to chat about the debut issue of the comic. The collected trade paperback of Sheydim debuted several weeks ago so Jeff returned to the show to talk about the first complete arc of the comic. Kristian chats with Jeff about how he took elements of Judaism and deftly used them to create an action-adventure series unlike any other in the comic book market today, about how Jewish mythology was presented in the book and gives it a distinct visual identity, and how Hunters of Sheydim takes a story which could initially be seen as another take on the Buffy the Vampire slayer trope and turns it into something culturally unique and interesting.
