In this episode, Wendi has a very candid and outspoken conversation with the "Viceroy of Canadian Comics", Richard Pace. He and writer Mark Russell are the co-creators of "Second Coming", a political satire comic about Jesus Christ living with a superhero. Originally to be released through DC's Vertigo imprint, it was dropped and will now be put out by Ahoy Comics. Pace discusses the outrage surrounding the book, working on "Pitt" and being part of the 90s Image era, a different insight of the speculator market of the time and what is wrong with the "Game of Thrones" fandom.
