This week in the L5J studios I chat with Brian Lee Byrd. Brian is an editor and content contributor at Master Plot Comics. He's the writer of Bullets and Angels and the upcoming 100 tears based on the slasher film of the same name. We talk about the formation of Master Plot Comics, the development of 100 Tears, balancing family and a busy professional life and a whole slew of other fun stuff including, of course, Star Wars. Brian is a super fun and impressive fellow and I urge you to visit Master Plot Comics and check out and support the kickstarter for 100 Tears.

I visited Grand Rapids Comic Con where I sat down for an in depth discussion with author Kasey Pierce, writer of Pieces of Madness and the upcoming Norah. Kasey is one of the coolest cats to ever grace this show.We kosmic kids enjoyed a pint together talking comics, writing, family, religion, childhood, the '80's and much much more.   This episode also features a foreword about Ms. Pierce provided by her sensai himself, Dirk Manning. And, as if that wasn't enough, as a prologue I got to spend two minutes with Anthony Carrigan ( Victor Zsasz ) of TV's Gotham.
