For the second episode of The Comics Alternative's new Kickstarter series, Derek talks with Andy Stanleigh and Steven Bergson about their project, SCI: The Jewish Comics Anthology, Vol. 2. This book will be released by Alternate History Comics (of which Andy is the publisher), and it will follow Steven's first volume of The Jewish Comics Anthology, also published by AH Comics. What will distinguish this second collection is that each of the retellings from Jewish history, legend, and myth will be set in a science-fiction setting. Contributors to this anthology will include

• Ty Templeton (Batman, Spiderman, The Simpsons)

Rachel Pollack (Doom Patrol)

Bill Sienkiewicz (Daredevil, X-Men, Batman)

Neil Kleid (X-Men Unlimited, Tales From the Crypt)

Adam Gorham (Rocket, X-Files/TMNT, Dead Drop)

Weshoyot Alvitre (The Boys Who Became Hummingbirds)

Joe Infurnari (The Bunker, Evolution)

David Mack (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Fight Club)
