Podcasts about Image United

IMAGE UNITED combined the talents of 6 of the most popular artists of an era, each of them drawing on every page, sometimes every panel for over 60 consecutive pages! The most ambitious project attempted in the history of comics! We talk the inspiration, the execution and the obstacles in pulling it all off!

Thanks for being on the show David. On the cover of the issue it reads, “Love is the ultimate hostage situation” and David I have to ask...who hurt you?! You’re relatively new in the comic book publishing realm, but so damn successful at it. Can you talk a bit about how you got to where you are? The response to Going to the Chapel is so great, congratulations. Patton Oswalt recommended the book dude, how cool! How have the last couple of days been for you? Your comic book work has lived in the realm of crime drama/thriller, are there any other genres you’d like to tackle? I’ve asked you about comic book reviewing before in an interview we did years back but I have to ask again, how do you approach reviewing, do you like it, and any advice for reviewers out there? Superfight: Who would win at jousting: Rocket Raccoon or Cyborg! Off topic top shelf: What is David Pepose into right now that is not comics-related.
