Greg Rucka, Eric Trautmann, and Mike Henderson party with me today on the podcast. We discuss their incredible new comic book series The Forged, which was released earlier this year.
The Forged can be described as the space-opera-on-steroids love letter to old-school pulp fiction and pulp-inspired magazines of the 1970s such as Heavy Metal.
As a fan of these creators, I am 100% biased, but this comic is a must-read if you are a fan of humor, smart storytelling, and gorgeous artwork. The characters are richly developed, each with their distinct personalities that make it easy for readers to connect with and root for them.
The first arc has wrapped so you can catch up in time for their new release next spring. Check out your local comic book store and ask for a copy today!
