V speaks with some of the incredible people behind the SNARC comic: Dr. Bruce Olav Solhiem and Gary and Laura Dumm. The team discusses their history in comics, the process behind creating SNARC and what drew each of them to the naive alien who comes to Earth as a vanguard of an invasion.

V jumps back on the podcast with Olivia and Nonir, the two halves of O. E. Tearmann to chat about what it's like to write dystopian fiction while living in one, the amount of research that goes into creating a near-future world. They also share what's next for the Ace High Jokers Wild series and how they tackle such a diverse array of characters!
