Hi again.

Back with another episode this week. We’re chatting with my old pal Zac Thompson about all things Zac Thompson. I’m somewhat of an expert on the subject, but I wanted to see what his take was. If you’re not familiar with Zac’s body of work, you’re missing out on some truly strange and great comics. I’d suggest you start with THE DREGS, but you can’t go wrong with any of his work like- COME INTO ME, HER INFERNAL DESCENT, HUNT FOR THE SKINWALKER, I BREATHED A BODY, LONELY RECEIVER, NATURE’S LABYRINTH, NO ONE’S ROSE, RELAY, REPLACER, or UNDONE BY BLOOD. That’s a lot.

But you don’t have to stop there because Zac has a ton of books coming out right now including CEMETERY KIDS DON’T DIE, BLOW AWAY, and the upcoming INTO THE UNBEING. Run to your local comic shop today and grab them all.

And, just to provide some visual aid for this episode, this is how Zac was dressed for our interview-

I, as always, was wearing a Tom Ford suit. Not sure what Ethan and Griffin were wearing because they flout the dress code and force me to look the other way. But if I had to guess, they were dressed like this-

Now that you have a good picture of us all in your mind, enjoy the show.

That’s it for me.

Stay safe. Take care of each other. Dress like you know Serpentor.
