This week, Chris and Matt sit down with Robert Venditti, writer of the new X-O Manowar series from Valiant, The Surrogates and The Homeland Directive! Rob talks about how he didn’t get into comics until was in his late 20s, how he got in with Top Shelf and Valiant, what it was like being on set of the film adaptation of The Surrogates and a ton more! Plus, we use a listener email as an excuse to talk about barbecue some more (as if we needed one)!

The Rundown

• Follow Rob on Twitter and check out his website!
• Check out Dylan Todd’s interview with Valiant logo designer Rian Hughes.
• If you notice Rob’s sound quality changing over the course of the interview, it’s because we went from Skype to a phone call. He didn’t get attacked by a big wad of cotton or anything.
• Robert’s first comics were Astro City comics. In case you didn’t know, Astro City is great.
• Grant Morrison’s previous statements about Siegel and Shuster have been…less than totally sympathetic.
• Comics are a lot like politics, Shep.
