Our old pal Chris Roberson drops by this week with artist Rich Ellis to talk about their new IDW series, Memorial! Hear about the difficulties and the fun of drawing crazy abstractions, what led the guys to create a modern-day fairy tale, the secret origin of Memorial and its connections to Doctor Who, an honest assessment of director and Visionary Genius™ Zack Snyder, and much more! Plus, we answer a listener question about the etiquette of artist sketch requests!
