THE WRITERS BLOCK w/ David Avallone and Rylend Grant

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.

Rylend and David talk with Kickstarter mainstays Charlie Stickney (WHITE ASH COMICS), Richard Fairgray (THE EX-WIVES OF FRANKENSTEIN), and Steven Prince (MONSTER MATADOR) about the current state of the platform’s union… and after spending an 90-minutes admiring David and Richard’s rather prominent cookie dusters, Rylend seriously considers growing a mustache.
