Today we proudly present a talk with writer Mark Andrew Smith. We’re sure you know him from his work on The Amazing Joy Buzzards and Gladstone’s School for World Conquerors, both from Image Comics. He’s taking a different approach to his latest project, Sullivan’s Sluggers, and seeking to fund the 200 page hardcover through Kickstarter. The story is a horror-filled romp with a minor league baseball team made up of players past their prime. With art by James Stokoe (Orc Stain, Godzilla: Half Century War), this is a book you do not want to miss!

For TNI #80, there was plenty of excited chatter about Wizard World Philly and a healthy heaping of philosophy as the talk focuses Game of Thrones and why it’s been illegally downloaded at the rate it has. For comic reviews they went into Avenging Spider Man, Eerie presents: Hunter and Saga. Then check out our new comics picks for Wednesday, May 23 before you head out to your favorite shop!
