Like the phoenix rising, Bernard Chang is back on the show to talk his series with Louise Simonson about the original comic book Phoenix, Jean Grey. We get into the hows, whys, and wherefores of his collaboration with Simonson, why the X-Men hold a special place in his heart, and how he pulled off that amazing double-page spread from issue #1! Then we hit the rewind button and pick up where we left off in the last episode, delving into the second half of his career. We talk his advertising work, the kids series The Black Belt Club, getting together and collaborating with author Neil Strauss, and some of his favorite work at DC, including Wonder Woman, Demon Knights, and Batman Beyond.

As always, you can follow Bernard on X and Instagram @thebernardchang.
