Tune in as we pull back the curtain and give you a behind the scenes look into the series’ development. We explore Brandon and Amy’s collaborative process with artist Natacha Bustos and dive into what makes Lunella such a unique and inspirational character. Stick around you might even get to hear us tease a BRAND NEW CHARACTER!

Every Wednesday, I talk about comics with Brandon Montclare, writer of the hit Image series Rocket Girl and co-writer of Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur series.
We gab about what we’re reading now, what books we consider classics (Brandon loves Dark Knight Strikes Again…), and the hottest gossip of the industry. Occasionally, the inimitable artist Amy Reeder (Rocket Girl, Batwoman) stops by. Check out our full show archive at podcornpodcast.com.
