Ben Kahn and Rachel Silverstein join Jimmy to discuss Renegade Royale, the follow-up to Renegade Rule.  Renegade Royale keeps picks up about a year later to see what Amanda, Sasha, Jessie, and Tonya have going on in their lives just as their favorite VR game announces a winner takes all battle royale mode. The follow-up continues to blend the amazing friendship of the 4 with humor, drama, and plenty of video game action. As the Dark Horse website says, this is a queer kickass gaming experience. Ben and Rachel discuss their influences, their writing process, trading one-liners, which character was the most fun to write and which character arc was the hardest to crack. Plus they chat about the importance of queer representation in comics. This is an awesome conversation about 2 awesome graphic novels. 

Buy Renegade Royale

From the Publisher:Since their defeat at the VR gaming championship for Renegade Rule, the team members of the Manhattan Mist haven’t lost an ounce of momentum. So when a new brawl mode is introduced to the game—along with a sponsored inaugural competition—they’re in it to win it (again)! But in this tournament, only one player can be crowned champion. Get ready for a burgeoning romance between two team members, all-new character classes, and new rivals who will push Tonya, Sasha, Amanda and Jessie to their very limits. Whether or not the Mist can make some time between jokes, swears, and stolen glances to make one of their own a VR gaming champion remains to be seen!
