We return from our hiatus with the one and only Tom Taylor, to kick off season 10.

Tom takes us through his past as a fire eater, playwright, and TV presenter, all the way up to his start in reading comics and then writing them, where he gave us books like Injustice: Gods Among Us, DCeased, Superman: Son Of Kal-El, Dark Knights of Steel, Nightwing, and now Detective Comics with Mikel Janin.

We also delve into the importance of continued inclusion of diverse characters and stories in comics, the benefits of more positivity and less negativity in the comic fandoms, being interviewed by Anderson Cooper, and the events of the recently completed first story arc of his Detective Comics run, plus what is to come in the next arc, and beyond, plus lots more.

This is a rare opportunity to hear Tom speaking in depth, so don't miss it.

Our favourite spooky artist Kelley Jones returns for our 7th annual Halloween chat. This year we talk about the recently released Dracula Volume 1 : The Impaler, and Kelley explains why his depictions of Vlad's impalements are so horrifically accurate. We also get into Dracula Volume 2 : The Brides, which is currently on Kickstarter here: http://kck.st/3zPYbAG

As always, we pick Kelley's brain for some Halloween horror movie recommendations, and learn what movie scared him the most, as well as lots of talk about comics and art.
