151. Greg Rucka on human connections and assassins

It’s my weekly chat with Greg Rucka!  So today we go down the rabbit hole of the covid19 pandemic effects on society and somehow finish by discussing assassins.   Yes, you heard that right assassins. So we both tend to go on a bit of a rant…can you blame us? For those that don’t already know: Greg Rucka is a New York Times bestselling author of hundreds of comics and nearly two dozen novels. He has written for film, television, and video games, and he is currently developing his Image series LAZARUS, co-created by Michael Lark, with Legendary Pictures and Matt Tolmach Productions.
