He joins us on the podcast to talk about the unique path that led him from being an adult who didn't read comics to a writer whose first graphic novel was turned into a movie, all the way to writing Valiant's relaunch of X-O Manowar -- and you can listen to the whole show right here at ComicsAlliance.
