Last week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Tom Riordan, creator of Killbox – a recent favorite of Too Many Comics. Tom, currently living in LA, details his world through comics and the amount of writing rejections it’s taken to get to the point of a published book.
We take a look a look at Killbox, what’s next on the agenda for Tom, and what he’s been picking up at his local shop recently.

Late last month, we had the opportunity to speak with Frank Barbiere as he prepared the launch of his latest title, The Revisionist. Due to some outside circumstances, we weren’t able to record new shows or post the interview, so this is a little late.
Regardless, if you didn’t pick up the first issue of The Revisionist, you should. And grab #2 in the a couple weeks. But first, listen to Frank dive into the series, his career in comics and what’s next for him as he continues to push through the industry.
Thanks again to Frank, and our apologies for the late posting. Enjoy!
