On this week’s Off Panel, David digs into the lesser talked about world of editors with freelance editor to the stars Sebastian Girner. He’s the man who edits books like Deadly Class, Southern Bastards and Drifter, and they talk about what his role entails, how he impacts books, whether or not he can live entirely off that work, managing the chaos, the shift of focus to creator-owned cmics, his time at Marvel, continuity, fan ownership, and much more. It’s really excellent insight into what comic editors really do, and recommended listening for both readers and creators.

You can find Sebastian on Twitter and his work in Black Science, Deadly Class, Drifter, Low and Southern Bastards as well as the upcoming The Goddamned and Tokyo Ghost.
