This is a tough one. This week we celebrate the life and career of Bernie Mireault. Bernie was a friend to the show and would always answer questions whenever we messaged him. Bernie was a visionary creator that made comics that not only inspired a whole generation of creators but also changed the look of the "superhero" forever. Not just in comics but in art as a whole. He was an amazing musician as well, and we feature some of his music here. Ben and I flip through a bunch of The Jam comics, the Mackenzie Queen trade, Madman and The Jam and more. I would def suggest watching the video version of this one.  Bernie's TeePublic is still active: https://www.teepublic.com/user/bernie_mireault I sourced the Jam motion comic from this WayBack machine link. It recalls the CO2 comics page, which was a Comico reboot, i think.  https://web.archive.org/web/20180428010931/http://www.co2comics.com/pages/co2_bem_work.html Check out Bernies YouTube  @berniemireault9741  For our YouTube Video Playlist CLICK HERE!!!

This week we are joined by Ho Che Anderson to talk about the Grendel Tales Special Preview that is on the flip side of the Comico #40, the first Grendel story not written by Matt, instead it was written by guest writer Steven T. Seagle.  It's an eerily prescient tale of political revolt and student protest. We also talk with Ho Che about working on Grendel, his life in comics and what's next for him. We missed Ben this week but had a great time chatting with Ho Che!

This week, the Devil's Reign begins. These issues are broken up into two stylistically different parts. They begin with the rise of Orion Assante aka Orion I. Quickly rising in the ranks and creating an army of COPS that begin a war with neighboring territories. After mergers and expansions and an end of the war, Orion is poised to take over much more. Then, the second part of the issue focuses on Pellon Cross, Zebra and the rest of the Vampires in Las Vegas. The Worm is ravenous, infiltrates Cesars Palace and all hell breaks loose, literally!
