Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Seemingly from out of nowhere, Chris Condon appeared with the fantastic series That Texas Blood, with artist Jacob Phillips. Since that time, Condon has had his name attached to many more comics, including runs on Green Arrow at DC Comics, and Ultimate Wolverine, at Marvel. Chris talks with Josh about where he came from, and what motivates him to tell great stories above all, and how some encounters with supportive folks made all the difference. That and plenty of talent.
