One of the most important aspect of comic books is finding the perfect creative team for each project. This can be a tricky task for some, which is why the Creator After Con Network (CACN) was created: to bring together writer, artists and publishers to start new projects. This week's guest is comic book author Jeff Rider. Under his umbrella Cloudwrangler Comics, and with programs such as CACN, Jeff has created an impressive library of titles: Gravity Matters (with Sweetie artist Sean Dillon and letterer Erica Schultz), Been Bit (with CACN co-creator Stan Chou) and Major Holmes and Captain Watson (with Carlos Cabaleiro and Rachel Deering). Jeff and Adrian also discuss the importance of proper networking among creators, unusual Christmas gifts and why it's often necessary for writers to get out of their characters' way to properly tell a story.

Adam's first foray into comics was editing the Popgun anthology which then immediately won a Harvey Award and an Eisner Award in consecutive years. He still had to face the submission process in a later volume of the anthology and faced rejection. AMELIA COLE is the result of when Adam and his collaborative partners DJ Kirkbride and Nick Brokenshire wanted to launch a creator-owned series with a strong female protagonist. AMELIA COLE is digitally online at Comixology through Monkeybrain Comics; and the collected first volume will be printed through IDW. After they launched, Nick and Adam were able to bring letterer Rachel Deering on board along with several pinup artists.
