In this week’s episode of Off Panel, writer and TKO Studios editor-in-chief Sebastian Girner joins to chat about his new series The Devil’s Red Bride at Vault and the world of TKO. Girner discusses the origins of The Devil’s Red Bride, women samurai, scratching different itches, working with other editors, when the fear hits, the art on the book, samurai comics in America, the appeal of revenge stories, what’s up with TKO, what happens between each wave, whether the editing process is different at TKO, editor brain vs. writer brain, and more.

You can find Girner on Twitter and The Devil’s Red Bride when it arrives in comic shops in October.
