159. Greg Rucka on creating characters and small comforts during covid19

My week would be incomplete without a conversation with the one and only Greg Rucka.  I’d like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Greg for sharing this journey with me during such a tumultuous time.  It has been the bright spot in some rather tough weeks. Thanks to all of you for listening and being a part of the conversation.  We have had some great listener questions.  Please keep them coming! Today Greg and I talk about what brings us comfort during these times, how the characters in his head take form, and answer listener questions about Queen and Country and The Punisher. 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. His career has included critically acclaimed and Eisner-winning work in both the creator-owned and work-for-hire arenas. As always, please listen with an open mind and remember that my opinion on politics are my own and do not affect my position at work.
