Jimmy Olsen, Morning Glories, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and Infinite Vacation writer Nick Spencer sits down with us this week to talk about the tough lessons of the Silver Age, giving voice to the people behind the biggest names in Metropolis and, of course, that whole Heavy Ink thing.

Good hustle, gentlemen. Between Spencer and Roberson I’m slowly coming around to getting into the current Superman family of comics. Really stoked about the Urbaniak interview next week! I managed to ask him a question on The Best Show, so I’ll try to think of something else to ask.
Holy shit how did I not hear about Morning Glories before. This is pretty fantastic stuff. Great interview although Nick’s skype quality was pretty low, otherwise great!
