Our next guest has been keeping the law and order in comics for years now!

OK, that joke was a stretch. We have failed this city.

We'll stop now! If you haven't guessed it, we're talking to Marc Guggenheim, television writer and producer on everything from "Law and Order" and "Eli Stone" to "Arrow" and "Legends of Tomorrow." He's written comics for IPs such as Star Wars and Star Trek, as well as for Marvel and DC comics such as Punisher, Flash, Daredevil, and Superman.

Now Marc is back to tackling creator-owned comics with his Image Comics series "Torrent" and "Too Dead to Die"! We talk to him about his new series as well as his time writing legal dramas, if writing for TV or comics is easier to break into, and why Kevin Feige hasn't called him to write for the Disney+ Daredevil or She-Hulk series!

Here's the official description for "Torrent":

"From MARC GUGGENHEIM (Arrow X-Men Gold Star Wars: Revelations) and JUSTIN GREENWOOD (THE OLD GUARD: TALES THROUGH TIME Future State: Gotham) the team who brought you the critically acclaimed series Resurrection comes a brand-new superhero universe. Michelle Metcalf is the world's most happy-go-lucky hero CRACKERJACK until tragedy forces her to cross the line from hero to vigilante."
