Cool stuff. Happy to see you guys getting some interviews and I love the theme song. The art looks great on Nightly News and it’s cool seeing Image get a little more tasteful in their products. Definently piqued my interest. Hope you’re feeling better, Bahlactus.

Max, thanks for stoppin’ through, bruh. We’re pretty happy all around with how this issue came out — I heard from Jonathan and he was pretty excited as well, which is always good. Keep your eyes peeled in coming issues, as we’ll be giving away a signed copy of Nightly News sometime soon.
(Recovery is progressing — taking it one day at a time. I’ll be 100% in another week or so). Be easy, bruh.

Man, it is great to see Image taking some time to really up the ante on the type of comic books they are putting out. Remember when they first came out man? Image rocked it on the outset: WildCATS, Spawn, Youngblood, Savage Dragon & WetWorks… and I’m beginning to feel for comicbooks that have that “real life” quality where there aren’t any superpowered beings in it. Sam & Twitch come to mind even though they exist in the Spawn world.. Kudos to revealing this to us man. As always, a pleasure!!!

[…] Secondly, being able to meet face-to-face with creators I dig heavily and speak at length with them was the highlight of the show for me. A big shout out to Jonathan Hickman of Nightly News fame — he was definitely cool as a fan and I enjoyed the two days I got to rap with him and get to know that cat better. Also, I was fortunate enough to connect with Kyle Baker — we talked for a LONG time about TRUTH: Red, White, and Black, which is my favorite work by Baker (and believe me when I say that soon I will OWN some original TRUTH art ya’ll). I also got to rap quite a bit with Ron King, publisher for a new Comics-centric magazine with flavor called UVC (Urban Voice of Comics). I’m hoping they do big things with the magazine. He is tag teamed with my man Rich Watson from Glyphs — Rich is also the editor. Meeting The Mad Twiinz, Mike and Mark Davis, creators of a new flavored hero Comic, Blokhedz was on point forreal. I got an advanced copy of the Blokhedz TPB and the story is tight. Hero flavor on another format. Don’t judge that by the cover. […]
