THE REST IS GIANT ROBOTS - A PODCAST THAT'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EAR.

Writer Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman go back to the beginning... Charting a 40-year stint in comics, TV animation, games and more, including - of course - a healthy discourse on the rise and fall and rise again of TRANSFORMERS, also now 40 years old.

In a series of roughly chronological, informal chats, Furman and Wildman relive the ups and downs and highs of lows of the creative life, spotlighting key moments in their respective, and joint, careers - many of which, naturally, involve giant, transforming robots.

Nothing is off-limits, as Furman and Wildman delve deep into their (unreliable) memories, presenting a humorous but warts and all story of life inside the comics biz that is still... TO BE CONTINUED.

EP22: ON THE CIRCUIT

We talk comic (and TRANSFORMERS) conventions, and how they've changed - for us and for the attendees - from the mid-80s to now. Plus, we kick-off our mutual Matt Hatter recollections.

Back in the day, conventions were more about promoting whatever work we were doing at the same, while these days - while that remains true - they're also a revenue stream for us freelance writers and artists. Good thing? Bad thing? If you're expecting us to reach any hard and fast conclusions, you really haven't been paying attention thus far. And we turn back the clock to 2011 (ish) for part 1 of... The 'Matt Hatter Chronicles' era!
