Comics pros and comics bros Dave Dwonch and Ibrahim Moustafa join us to talk about the Punisher (but not that Punisher), Magneto's giant computing needs, Avenger-collecting strategies, and the altered reality that Nick Fury's new brand of "cigar" puts him into.
Dave Dwonch is the co-writer and co-creator behind the upcoming Jenny Zero, which will be published by Dark Horse Comics this April. You can preorder it NOW from your favorite local or online comics shop with the Diamond order code FEB210259.
Also! Dave and Santiago Guillen's Kickstarter for SPORES: The Broken Circle, the sequel to Prom of the Dead, is live right now and chock-full of great rewards — including a stretch goal that includes a print copy of their Mind Palace webcomic for backers!
Ibrahim Moustafa isn't just Steranko's least-flattering biographer, he's also a very talented writer-artist whose new original graphic novel, Count, hits the stands on 3/16 courtesy of Humanoids. Watch the trailer and preorder it now at https://countcomic.com, or preorder through your local comics shop before 2/22 with the Diamond order code JAN211389.
