We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

Today’s guests are the creative duo Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman — two multi-hyphenate storytellers whose work spans the worlds of comics, animation, film, and beyond.
Shannon Eric Denton is a veteran writer, artist, and transmedia creator with a career that cuts across comics, animation, television, and gaming. He’s worked with major studios including Cartoon Network, Warner Bros., Disney, Marvel, DC Comics, and Riot Games. Shannon is also the co-founder of Monster Forge Productions, alongside horror legend Steve Niles, where they specialize in developing monster-centric IP for film, TV, games, and merchandise.
Joining him is David Hartman — an Emmy-nominated director, illustrator, and producer with over 25 years in the animation and horror industries. In addition to directing Phantasm: Ravager, the final chapter in Don Coscarelli’s iconic franchise, David has worked as a visual effects supervisor and animator on cult favorites like Bubba Ho-Tep and John Dies at the End. His background also includes extensive work in animation as a showrunner, storyboard artist, and Spectrum Award-winning illustrator.
In addition to their individual accomplishments, Shannon and David have teamed up on several projects, most notably through their work with Titan Comics. Their graphic novel Kraken blends supernatural horror with historical adventure. Their upcoming title Spectors, set for release in May 2026, continues this trajectory — a supernatural adventure featuring a team of eccentric heroes battling monsters and cults, combining pulpy thrills with cinematic visuals.
Together, Shannon and David bring a wealth of experience in genre storytelling, and today they’re here to talk monsters, collaboration, and navigating the creative process across mediums.
