The Future of Comics & Gaming: Mark Waid and the Alpha Clash Team on Building a Multimedia Empire

In this episode of Collectors Confessions, we sit down with the Alpha Clash / Rising Empire Studios team — including legendary comic book writer Mark Waid, creator Ridge, and writer Al — to dive into one of the most ambitious projects in indie entertainment.
Alpha Clash is more than just a trading card game — it’s a shared universe spanning graphic novels, comics, and novels, blending gaming and storytelling in ways we’ve never seen before.
Discover how this project grew from an idea during lockdown to a multimedia empire now collaborating with one of the greatest comic writers of all time. We explore its creation, the connection between story and gameplay, and Mark Waid’s first thoughts on joining this new creative venture.
