Ever wished someone would combine the movies "Se7en" and "Elysium"? Well our next guests managed to take the concept and dial it up to 11!
Writer Sarah Gailey and artist Liana Kangas join us to talk about their Boom! Studios comic book series "Know Your Station." Sarah has written comics such as "Eat the Rich," "Steven Universe," and "The Vampire Slayer." Liana has done artwork for comics such as "Star Wars Adventures," "Where We Live," and "Archie Comics’s Return of Chilling Adventures in Sorcery."
We also chat about wizard curses, comic book lettering, and rich people in space. And Ben and Shane laugh a lot because that's what they do.
Here's the official description for "Know Your Station":
"The wealthiest people in the solar system abandoned the Earth for a private sanctuary in space, leaving the rest of us to die amidst cataclysmic climate change. But the 1% won’t be safe for long … A murderer is on the loose, specifically targeting the super-rich. Soon Elise, an employee of the billionaire’s space station, is wrapped up in a deadly investigation, with each issue featuring a new, diabolically different kill!
"2021’s breakout writer Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich) and rising star Liana Kangas (TRVE KVLT) take a stab at the ultra-wealthy, their dreams of escaping the very planet they’ve put in peril, and the consequences of a future that might not be so far away …"
