132. Matt Fraction on writing comics, hard work, and empathy

If you look up Matt Fraction, you will find a bio that sounds a little like this: Matt Fraction writer of: (writer): SEX CRIMINALS (Image), Jimmy Olsen (DC), CASANOVA (Image), HAWKEYE (Marvel), and NOVEMBER (Image) writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and stags. Surely there is a metaphor there.

118. Shelly Bond on her life

It is a good day when I get to sit down and talk comics with someone as knowledgeable as Shelly Bond. Shelly is an award-winning DC/Vertigo and Black Crown editor. She began her career in comics in 1988 and hasn’t stopped since. It was so much fun to chat with her today about her experiences in the industry.
