Live from Toronto Comicon 2019, Aaron sat down with Marvel inker Craig Yeung. Born and raised in Toronto, Craig is best known as the long time inker of Runaways, written by Brian K. Vaughan with pencils by another Toronto resident, Adrian Alphona. Since Runaways, (now a live action TV series on Hulu in the U.S. and Showcase in Canada) Craig has inked other Marvel comics like X-Men: Gold, The Superior Octopus and Daughters of the Dragon. His pencils have been featured on Riftworld Legends 8, Arrow Season 2.5 and Bitch Planet: Triple Feature.

On the podcast, Craig explains what it was like to break into comics before the internet as part of Bright Anvil Studios with Steve McNiven, (Death of Wolverine) a high school age Francis Manapul (Justice League: No Justice) and past Speech Bubble guests Marvin Law (Image's The Pact) and Valentine De Landro (Bitch Planet). Craig's big break on Runaways actually came because without high-speed internet, it was too difficult for artist Adrian Alphona to communicate with the original inker what he wanted and with Craig right there in the studio, it became right place, right time.

Aaron also goes over Craig's process using India ink with tips for aspiring inkers to make the work go a little faster and they touch on what its like to see a comics Craig worked on (Runaways, Legion, Daughters of the Dragon) be adapted for TV. Finally, Craig shares his hopes for the upcoming Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu movie adaption and gives his own martial arts movie recommendations, including Kill Zone starring Donnie Yun and Sammo Hung.
