In this episode, Jace chats with writer/artist Jared Throne about Bridge, Planet Nine, a new black-and-white graphic novel that blends science fiction, crime, and character-driven drama into a tense, emotionally grounded heist. Jared explains the concept of "bridge planets" and the morally gray crew at the heart of the story, digging into themes of corporate exploitation, desperation, and the haves vs. the have-nots without ever getting preachy. He also talks about designing the bombed-out colony world, crafting distinct voices for the four thieves (including a fan-favorite bit of comedic relief), and what it's like to spend years creating a complete, self-contained graphic novel before anyone gets to read a single page. Jace shares why the book works so well for both adult readers and younger audiences, why it's a great gateway comic or gift, and lets listeners know where they can pick up Bridge, Planet Nine now and follow Jared's work online.
