On today's show we talk with Ben Templesmith who you may know as the artist on 30 Days of night, Gotham by Midnight, Fell, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse and so much more. Recently he's been working on Squidder, Blackholers, and his newest book Original Hate. We talk about some of that, honest, we do. We mostly talk about the one thing we have been avoiding on the show since inception, politics. "Well, if you have been avoiding it, why talk about it with this English guy?" First off, he's an Aussie, get it right. Only an idiot would make that mistake. Second, it just worked. It ended up being a wonderful conversation with incredible insights. Ben is such a pleasure to talk to, we really hope we get to have him back on sometime. This episode is longer than normal, but trust us, you want to listen all the way to the end.
