He talked with us for almost two hours, and in that timeframe we got his perspective of his Punisher run, as well as his views of the comic industry, politics, self-publishing, and "The Man."  We laughed, we nodded intently, we busted each other's chops. It was one of the best interviews Jake and I have done, and we thank Greg Rucka for his time and goodwill. Check out some of Greg Rucka's latest projects: Alpha, the first of a new series of military thriller novels. Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether, his webcomic and successfully funded Kickstarter. A preview of Lazarus, a sci-fi dystopia comic series that will be released in June.
