Things get savage on the Hypothetical Island when Reilly and George are visited by writer David Pepose. Listen in rapt attention as they discuss the benefits of being an imaginary friend,  post apocalyptic travels down under,  the pitfalls of journalism, verbing your own name, and  creating your perfect Avengers team.

The boys talk spicy foods, the death of NFTs, Kenobi (and other Star Wars stuff), escape rooms, and more!

Interview - Ryan Parrott Rogue Sun - February 23, 2022

1. Rogue Sun’s announcement was a pleasant surprise, did the idea for the hero begin before figuring out how it fits in the Radiant Black universe?
2. When writing a lead character who is 17, how do you get into that headspace?
3. Rogue Sun is also a murder mystery, I’m always fascinated by how creators write a who-done-it. Where did you start for Rogue Sun?
4. The hero in a super-suit is practically a trope at this point with Power Rangers and Gieger, why do you think this type of hero continues to interest audiences to this day?
5. Abel’s art is insane, with a thin detailed line that sets this book apart, how did you two connect for this project?
6. In the grand scheme of things if given unlimited resources, how long would Rogue Sun run on for as a series?
7. Dylan is an intriguing character because he’s also a troubled bully, which is a unique angle. What made you take this track for the protagonist?
8. Super minor detail but, I love the fake store names like Wallgrans, is that something you write in the script or something Abel adds?
9. The superhero crossover is always exciting, I think people lost their minds when Invincible and Spider-Man teamed up. Are there any team-ups you dream about for Rogue Sun?
10. The Eltarian War is nearing its end and I have to say the story has been epic at every turn. Is there an art to creating fulfilling cliffhangers on an epic scale?
11. If given the powers or Rogue Sun, what would you do?

The end of a beloved comic is discussed along with other new releases of the week. Stan seems to think Jason Aaron is the only person currently writing comics. Speedball is back. Namor the Submariner makes a cameo. Spider-fans, it turns out, are easy to upset.
