Jimmy did DC December and now he's kicking off Marvel March Madness. Tony Fleecs returns to the podcast and he and Jimmy cover a lot of ground. They discuss Stray Dogs, Feral, Local Man, Army of Darkness Forever, Uncanny Valley, and of course the upcoming The Thing! Tony talks about the Feral world tour road trip, playing with zombie tropes, the magic that makes Uncanny Valley work, and pitching story ideas for The Thing. Plus Tony digs into the notion that maybe drawing all those wonderful My Little Pony comics left him with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. There's no shortage of comics to read if you're a fan of Tony's work but be sure to add The Thing to your pull list before it comes out on May 21st.
