Doug Bost and Adam Bernstein are Grown Ass MenEp. 105 - Signed, Sealed, Delivered, We’re NerdsThere are men who carelessly skip over the letters pages in old comic books. But that’s not Doug or Adam.

Doug Bost and Adam Bernstein are Grown Ass MenEp. 104: The Alex Maleev interviewWhen Alex Maleev paints Daredevil, you can feel the sweat in that red suit. When he sketches Miles Morales you might get worried Miles is gonna fall off that building. We know and love his art from Spider-Woman, Moon Knight, Batman, Hellboy, and the Scarlet series, many created with Brian Michael Bendis. But we also know Alex because he lives here in Brooklyn and we were lucky enough to sit down in person with Alex to talk about his gorgeous new series Masterpiece. Also, to talk about why he loves the UFC. Music by Adam Bernstein!2024-04-0128 min
