Rylend and David chat with Jenny Zero writer Dave Dwonch about what makes a contract “good” and what traditional comic publishers may or may not have to offer creators these days. Also… Rylend and Dave kind of finally talk about the thing that everyone has really wanted them to talk about for a long while but maybe haven’t quite until now.

Rylend and David intended to have one of their standard “state of the comic union” discussions with Syzygy Publishing co-founder Chris Ryall, but - as happens with great guests - ended up with something much more fun, layered, and nuanced in the end. Special appearances by Cassandra Peterson, Syd Field, and Tyrese and Ludacris.

Rylend and David talk with Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. creators/showrunners Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum about their MINOR THREATS comic book universe… Patton and Rylend get through the broadcast - despite being woefully under the weather - by pounding gogol mogol and judiciously using the mute button.
