- PLS READ
I am making a comic book with my two other friends and I was starting out with my backstory and my design and as I’m listening it feels like I’m getting better as an artist and writer and I love that because eventually I think like most I wanna do my own trilogy with just my character and I think that this is what will help me do that.

United Statesa month ago - Alright, listen…
I thought I already left a review. I actually believe my review was removed by a blargon agent. This podcast is worth the price of admission merely to understand what productivity looks like in indie comics. There are many other reasons to listen, but I find, as the saying goes, that most indies want to have already made a comic, but don’t want to make comics. These two make comics. Lots of them. Listen and find out how.
