Our next guests need no introduction... but we're going to do it anyway! Walter & Louise Simonson are comic book royalty, each leaving an indelible mark on beloved characters and series. The interview ranges far and wide, with Louise revealing her earliest comics memories and discussing her transition from editing to writing with Power Pack. The couple shared insights about their first writer/artist collaboration on X-Factor, comparing notes on their individual titles, and the interesting contrast in their career paths. They also discussed Louise's role in launching the X-Men's first major crossover with "Mutant Massacre" and their co-writing experience on Havok/Wolverine: Meltdown. Of course, we couldn't finish without some Death of Superman talk, as well as Walt's next moves on Ragnarok and his recent, oversized Battle of Muspelheim commission. 

Unfortunately, Louise is internet-absent, but you can follow Walt on Facebook and Instagram @walter.simonson.5.
