On this week’s episode of Off Panel, David welcomes the great John Arcudi, writer of Rumble at Image Comics and B.P.R.D. at Dark Horse Comics. Arcudi joins the show to talk Rumble, why he moved on from B.P.R.D., the greatness of James Harren, the quiet contributions of David Brothers and Vincent Kukua, how to make comic collaborations not just work but shine, creator-owned comics, Rumble’s path to being published, genres and heroes, Raul Mondesi, and much, much more. It’s a great conversation with a fantastic writer with tons of insight into the craft of comics.

You can find John on Twitter and his work in Rumble and B.P.R.D..
