"Maybe the best issue of CAPTAIN PLANET yet... this was just an absolute badass finale to this first arc. So again, if you haven't been reading Captain Planet, what the hell are you waiting for?" Thanks to @tldrcomicbookclub.bsky.social for this review! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqxM...

I've been doing a lot of podcasts lately as I try to promote what I do on SKTCHD and Off Panel (I see you, hustling creators), and I have to say, this chat with @nickfriar.com was one of my favorites. It was a great time having a Friar Side Chat with him (I do love that name).

Widowmaker was one of the first stories we got to sink our teeth into as editors, back in The CloakRoom #1. Written by @nickfriar.com, with art by Naiara Rodriguez. You can get a copy in the current Kickstarter (along with about 60 other great short stories...)
