Zach is joined by Sam Beck, the author and artist of the fantasy graphic novel trilogy, Verse, from Vault Comics!

Together Sam and Zach talk the story and characters of Verse, what it's like to create your own world and the stories within it, and also Sam's tale of leaving her job as a graphic designer to make comics. And so much more!

Like...a lot more! So many nerdy topics!

The story of Verse: 

"VERSE is the story of a shared journey. What draws us back to stories like these isn't the promise of adventure or the fantastical things you unearth. It's getting to see how each character grows and develops. How their bonds are formed and tested over and over again. And when paths diverge, as they often do, seeing how they manage to find a way back to each other.

Fife's plans to become an expert swordsmith are interrupted when he meets Neitya, an extraordinary girl unlike any he's ever met before...primarily because of her horns and amnesia. Worryingly, she seems akin to the monstrous Vel who roam the countryside. but when Fife is attacked by the Vel, Neitya saves him by using a skill thought to be forever lost to everyone: Magic. Fife and Neitya decide to journey together, seeking the guidance they need to unravel the mystery of her origin."
