Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.

Last time we did this, we talked to a letterer, and this time, we're talking to Jordan Boyd, a colorist on many titles you've probably read. Josh and Jordan have some history, but in the intervening years, Jordan's gone on to build a great career in making comics. We talk about his origins, and his work now, as well as some of the things a colorist has on their mind that the average reader might not.

You can follow Jordan on Twitter.
