You’ll hear how he creates his comics, how someone objected to that method, his early work using the Bic pen mascot, the amazing story of how Machine of Death got to number 1 on the Amazon sales chart, the best mustache to have, what fictional character he’d hang out with on a desert island, and much more!

Remember to send in your listener questions to warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com!
What’s the likely reason it’s cutting out suddenly at different points? I’ll be anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes into the episode and suddenly it thinks it’s done and I have to reload the page.
In brief, and this is going to get technical: I have no idea.
It might be better for you to try to download the show directly and listen to it that way.
Ahh, my internet was wonky. Things are fine now. Shouldn’t let my husband play games online when there are podcasts to listen to.
Hey, Brad, here. I’m that guy that was yapping away about Indiana Jones and giant robots.
To follow up on the Greg Rucka evaluation, good news and bad news.
Bad news is that his schedule got a little wonky, and he didn’t have time to “give the work the attention it deserved” – a suprising, but not unwelcome statement.
Good news is, we exchanged emails, and he’s going to go through it with me over Skype at a later date. Seems to be looking forward to the project.
Class act, that Rucka.
*surprising.
Way to show that B.A. in English, Brad. .
Any word on the iTunes issue? Im dowloading these directly, but i miss not having to pay attention to do it :-p
Also: Saw Adam WarRock in Burlington VT last night. Anyone who hasnt seen him live? GET ON THAT.
Apple’s still reviewing it. Nothing we can do to make it faster.
