This week we welcome back the writer of Archaia’s Cow Boy and co-writer of Image’s Pigs, Nate Cosby! We get into how he transitioned from editing all-ages comics at Marvel to writing the salty language of Pigs, how Cow Boy isn’t the comic you’d expect, how working as an editor affected his collaboration with artists, the true modern poetry of Freak Nasty, and much more! Plus, we enjoy a listener’s description of the wonders of the Batman arena show!

I got to see Batman Live in London last year with my little brother. Recently I’ve seen a couple of buses in East London that still have Batman Live adverts on them, which reminds me of how cool it was to go.
