Comics creator and educator Ryan Claytor is Wayne’s special guest in Episode #520, and they discuss his Kickstarter for A Hunter’s Tale! Ryan teaches about comics at Michigan State University, and he has converted a poem his grandfather wrote into a comic, which he’s now supporting on Kickstarter! The book is described this way: It’s “a poem about empathy, presented as 32-page, full-color comic book. Written by Charles Kermit Claytor with art by Ryan Claytor.” I have a great time talking with Ryan about comics, his courses at MSU, and his other interests, including pinball and helping other comics creators make a living in the industry! His Kickstarter is doing very well, but you can help him reach excellent Stretch Goals at the link above, so be sure to back his project after you’ve listened to this interview!

Episode #519 features the return of accomplished writer and creator Gregg Hurwitz from Knighted, which is being released by AWA Studios! Hurwitz is a terrific novelist, and his newest book, Dark Horse, is coming soon! We touch on that, but then we go in depth into Knighted, which is described this way: “In this action-packed adventure set in the universe of The Resistance, Gregg Hurwitz (The Dark Knight, Vengeance of Moon Knight), Mark Texeira (Ghost Rider, Wolverine), and Brain Reber (X-Men: Legacy, Spider-Man/Deadpool) introduce a masked vigilante for the 21st Century. Bob Ryder is a hapless bureaucrat whose bad luck streak comes to a crescendo when he accidentally kills the city’s masked vigilante, The Knight. Oops. Now, Bob is forced to take on the mantle of the legendary hero before the city descends into chaos. Good thing he’s got The Knight’s former butler/assistant to show him the ropes.” The third issue just was released, and it’s a great adventure series, so I highly recommend you pick it up… after
