On this episode, we have on Josh Blaylock, founder of devil’s due studios and writer of the disavowed.

Described as the boys meets GI Joe, the disavowed is a deconstruction of nostalgia and GI Joe a franchise, Blaylock helped revive in the early 2000s with the GI comic published through image comics.

We talk to Blaylock about his approach to the material, the delicate balance of paying homage while appealing to new readers and nostalgia’s grip on pop culture.

The Disavowed is launching on Kickstarter soon and will be published through massive publishing.

Listen in and Badaboom!
