Chris Condon joins the show to talk about his new Image Comics series News from the Fallout which is a black-and-white sci-fi horror epic set during a nuclear test gone wrong in 1960s Nevada. We dive deep into how the book evolved over a decade, why he wanted Jeffrey Alan Love on art, and what it means to build a comic that feels more like a surreal experience than a traditional genre piece. We also rewind to Chris’s early days breaking into comics with That Texas Blood, how he randomly found Jacob Phillips through a failed film pitch, and how their creative partnership helped shape one of the most compelling releases in years. From American myth to Night of the Living Dead, this one covers a lot. News from the Fallout hits shops June 25.
