David Pepose, talented creator of "Spencer & Locke," recently spent some time with us to talk about his successful Kickstarter campaign...

Jarred Luján talks friendship, inspiration, creative dream teams and story ownership.

"Thus far, every comics or metal friend that I’ve shown it to has cackled maniacally and loved the idea..."

"Stargazer came from mostly personal experiences, which was something I was terrified to do."

"...there’s a lot of fun to be had with fantasy and I’m glad to see the cultural moment tipping away from grimdark."

"The second issue will be chock full of everything readers loved about SWZA #1: Blood, Sex, Kung-Fu and Gender Politics..."

"The horrors in this book overlap with so many other ailments, whether physical, mental, or social."

"It’s a cross between Looper and Red Dawn, with a little bit of Jonathan Hickman-esque weirdness."

"If readers can finish the book having met someone that feels honest to them, then I’m happy."

Pendragon is a busy, talented woman who wears many hats. We talk with here about writing, running Kickstarters, & doing EVERYTHING.

"If I had the ability to manipulate emotions, the first thing I would do is turn it on myself and see what I could make myself feel."

"...Most TV and movie studios are hesitant to option properties unless the ownership rights are squared away clearly."

"A flatter takes the black and white line art of a comic and fills in the colors, sort of like a color-by-number."

"I would die for our books. I mean that literally. I would die for our stories."

CBY: Hey, Jay! Thanks so much for being on board for doing this. To get things started, do you want to talk a little about your comic,...
