One of the best things, if not the number one best thing about, about doing the Comic Book Yeti Cryptid Creator Corner podcast, is making new comic book friends, and boy oh boy did Austin Allen Hamblin and I hit it off in our conversation about Big Guns Stupid Rednecks. Austin talks about his life in Iowa and what led to his love of comics. His newest comic, BGSR, is out August 28th from Band of Bards. BGSR, with art by Mariana Meira, is Austin's love letter to brotherly conflict, big action, cool aliens, and, of course, rednecks. Austin and I talk comics, country music, pro wrestling. This conversation has it all. Oh, and BGSR is a whole mess of fun that I thoroughly enjoyed.
