Hey there.

Quick update from me. Myself and the Svelte Boys were really excited to have the chance to speak with Meghan for the show this week. Meghan and I arrived for our current runs at DC around the same time and I’ve always had real admiration for what she’s been doing. Her current series TIM DRAKE: ROBIN is a great example. For a while now it’s felt like a lot of mainstream comics are moving toward bigger and bigger spectacle and away from character studies and personal stories. And along comes Meghan making superhero books that don’t feel like anything else at the big 2, stories that feel vital and important to people, stories with something to say, stories overflowing with charm, and humor, and heart, and personality, and stories that feel personal. Her work has been a joy to read as a fan and inspiring to work alongside as a peer. So, of course I had to have her on the show to find out how she does it and steal all her powers.

Go grab all the issues of TIM DRAKE: ROBIN from your local comic shop and pre-order the first collected edition now. But before that, listen to us talk about rivers of rat piss.

Stay safe. Take care of each other. Go mudlarking!
