May 23, 2011 - Running Time: 00:26:07 - This week Paul talks to Justin Gray, co-writer with Jimmy Palmiotti on acclaimed DC titles like Jonah Hex, Power Girl, and Freedom Fighters. The pair have also written some wildly inventive creator owned works like the slasher thriller Random Acts of Violence (being adapted for the big screen by actor Jay Baruchel) and the time travel adventure Time Bomb. Their latest indie creation is The Tattered Man, a one-shot horror story with seeds in the Holocaust. David is not the typical superhero, but the vengeful powers he's imbued with aren't quite so mild mannered themselves. Justin also talks about the methods of inspiring fear and dread on the comics page, the horrific scenes he's been able to get away with in Jonah Hex, and an upcoming western/sci-fi mashup called Trailblazer.
