This time Ben, Mike, Paul and Shane review "Knighted" by AWA Studios. We talk about the story's parallels to vigilante heroes like Batman and Moon Knight, how great power can corrupt, and pasting together a ransom note ... but not in that way.  

Here's the description of the series: "This action-packed adventure set in the universe of The Resistance introduces a masked vigilante for the 21st Century. Bob Ryder is a hapless bureaucrat whose bad luck streak comes to a crescendo when he accidentally kills the city’s masked vigilante, The Knight. Oops. Now, Bob is forced to take on the mantle of the legendary hero before the city descends into chaos." Learn more about the book and get a free issue 1 preview at the AWA Studios website.  

"Knighted" was written by Gregg Hurwitz with art by Mark Texeira, colors by Brian Reber and lettering by Andworld Design.

Hey folks, it's our first interview episode! With an actual intro to kick off the show!   

In this episode, we interview David Schrader. His newest comic is "Cannibals on Mars," and you can check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/schraderopolis/cannibals-on-mars-a-space-horror-graphic-novel.   

David is a writer/filmmaker and "sometimes reluctant actor" with a background in stand-up, sketch, improv, and alternative comedy. You might have seen him in the 90s slacker comedy "NoHo" or the horror film "Bloodline."  

Schrader’s first comic book work, "Baby Badass," published in 2018, quickly became a cult hit. He is also the co-writer along with creator Peter Murrieta of "Rafael Garcia: Henchman," published by SBI Press and Massive. He is co-publisher (with Clay Adams) of Bloodline Comics which has released two acclaimed volumes of the cinematic horror anthology, "Nightmare Theater (named by CBR as the best indie comic at LA Comic Con) and the upcoming "Carmilla Unbound."
