On May 2nd, the comic industry lost one of their own. John Paul Leon, artist of such books as Static, The Winter Men, Earth-X, and much more; lost his life to cancer after a 14 year battle. Both Allan and I wanted to take a moment to talk about the man, so our first episode for our hiatus is about him.

Please donate to his GoFundMe page in an effort to assist his family during this painful time.
