This week, Mike and Alex are stoked to be joined by the writer and co-creator of Skyward and Shadecraft, Joe Henderson! They start with Joe's comic book origin story (shout out, Darkhawk) and chat about how he went from film and television writing to dipping his toes into comic writing. Joe talks about his collaboration with artist Lee Garbett on Skyward and Shadecraft (and The Big Burn from DSTLRY), what makes Lee so great, and why he keeps going back to him for his comic projects. Then they dive into Skyward and Shadecraft, discussing the similar themes and ideas presented in both books, and Joe addresses some of the nitpicks the guys brought up in their episodes (spoiler alert- Joe is responsible for the error into the Skyward solicitation). Finally, they cover what Joe is working on presently in his day job (aka the Energon Universe animated series) and what the future might hold for adapting both Skyward and Shadecraft. It was awesome to chop it up with Joe about comics and we can't thank him enough for offering up his time!

You can follow Joe on Instagram and Bluesky.
