Grant who many might remember from his Marvel work on Punisher and The Life Of John Paul 2 for Marvel Comics, has been churning out creator owned comics since his days at FIRST in the 1980s. He talks about behind the scene details of the making of the film, and his new sequel series 3 GUNS also from BOOM!Studios, and other past and future comic book projects.

Next Kelly Sue DeConnick & Emma Rios talk about their new Western PRETTY DEADLY from IMAGE. We discuss their influences, and collaboration.
