Posted by Matt in : Episodes , trackback
The man behind Empowered, Dark Horse’s Dirty Pair, Livewires and Iron Man: Hypervelocity, Adam Warren, is our guest this week! He tells us about how Empowered emerged from art commissions, his time at the Kubert School, how his Dirty Pair comics were almost a direct adaptation of the manga, a Marvel project that never happened, drawing in a smaller format and much more! Plus, another reading from Thrasher magazine!

I’m surprised you guys didn’t review the Batman annual. I was actually very interested to hear what you guys had to say about it.
My review is pretty short: It was awful.
