Talking & Drawing with Shane Davis

Talking & Drawing with Shane Davis is a comic book YouTube channel hosted by 20+ year comic book veteran Shane Davis, alongside his Singaporean-Chinese wife Yanzi Lin.
==Content==
As the name would suggest, the bulk of the channel's content is focused on talking about comic book and geek media news, and the creative process behind their original comic book works. They report on news related to subjects such as Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Disney, Warner Bros., anime and manga, and gaming, basically anything pertaining to geek culture but with a preference towards comics. Both are staunch critics of "wokeness" and hate cancel culture. They are part of Comicsgate.
Videos often shine light on the industry from an inside perspective, particularly from Shane's experience in the mainstream industry (having especially been involved at DC).
Outside of commentary, they do livestreams on drawing their books, starting with Starlight Cats, where they talk with their audience. They also stream with other comic book creators.
==About==
Shane Davis was born in Dover, New Jersey and was part of the mainstream comics industry throughout the aughts and up through the 2010s. He was most prominently seen at DC Comics, where he worked on Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns, Mystery in Space, Superman/Batman and Superman: Earth One. Notably, he created the character of Dex-Starr, a fan-favorite of the Green Lantern mythos. He was involved up until 2019, where he decided to leave and start on his own, having grown tired of the woke culture that was infesting modern comics, the environment of fear and paranoia that it creates, as well as the diminishing returns stemming from the increasingly abysmal sales of the industry.
Yanzi Lin was born in Singapore and has since immigrated to the United States, and married Shane. She works as an inker and a writer on his books, and is a self-professed lover of cats.
Their first child, Pterodactyl "Pterry" Davis, was born in 2021.
==9 Lives Comics==
They own their independent comic company called 9 Lives Comics, which was named after their cat-themed debut Starlight Cats, and will fund projects on Indiegogo. Starlight Cats was crowdfunded on Indiegogo from November to December 2020, and has since raised over $120,000. It will be the start of a series. The second book, Inglorious Rex, a sci-fi fighting tournament themed book, also crowdfunded on Indiegogo, raised over $300,000. Sequels to both are in the works.
