Today, we have an absolutely legendary guest joining us. He's a powerhouse in the comic book industry, known for his incredible storytelling and ability to breathe life into beloved characters and franchises. It's none other than Ed Brisson! Ed has worked on some of the most iconic comic book titles out there, and today we're diving deep into one of the most exciting revivals of the year: SilverHawks. This classic animated series from the 1980s is making a triumphant return in comic book form, and Ed is at the helm, ready to take us on a journey back to Limbo Galaxy with the unforgettable heroes and villains we grew up loving. In this live episode, we'll explore Ed's journey—from his early years discovering comics, to his rise as a celebrated writer, and his unique approach to storytelling. We'll also uncover his personal connection to SilverHawks, what fans can expect from this thrilling new series, and even get a sneak peek at some of the surprises in store for readers.

Twitter: @edbrisson BlueSky: @edbrisson.bsky.social Follow Dynamite Entertainment at: www.Dynamite.com ON SALE DATE: 1/29/2025 About Silverhawks #1 – In the nearby galaxy of Limbo, the deadly mob boss Mon*Star has escaped from his confinement on Penal Planet 10 – and he's looking to take revenge on everyone who put him there! At the top of that list is Commander Stargazer, the grizzled space cop who personally took Mon*Star down the last time he went on a rampage. To recapture Mon*Star and his gang of super-criminal associates, Stargazer must put his retirement on hold and assemble a new team of his famed bionically enhanced law enforcers – the SilverHawks! Recruited from every corner of known space by the Federal Interplanetary Force, the SilverHawks were engineered to be the first line of defense against Limbo's ruthless agents of chaos. But during Mon*Star's long incarceration, the program went dormant, and its state-of-the-art tech has drifted towards obsolescence. Now, as they take on the galaxy's deadliest lawbreakers, Stargazer's new team of untested cyborgs – including Quicksilver, Bluegrass, Hotwing, Steelwill, Steelheart, and The Copper Kidd – will face the ultimate trial by fire!
