- Where can people get a copy?
- Refresh my memory – and our listeners – didn’t you move Chim Chum to a longer, comic page format the last time you were on the show?
- You were on the story lead for Disney’s Infinitiy, Maverl Super Heroes The Avengers Play Set…
- First off, did you feel a lot of pressure with such a big/hot property like The Avengers?
- As the lead on a project like that, what is your day to day like?
- Did you get any back and forth with the design team? Or is that stuff all said and done / completely separate?
- Can you say which story was your favorite to work on?
- How can people support your work on Chim Chum? (hint hint – plug your Patreon!)
