War Rocket Ajax is the world’s most explosive comic book and pop-culture podcast, featuring interviews with comics professionals, reviews, rankings and more.
We're back from our Labor Day break with artist and writer Colleen Coover. Our
topic is "All Ages," as we talk to Colleen about writing for both younger and
older audiences, ranging from the younger themed Banana Sunday to her more
adult-oriented title Small Favors. We also talk about how our habits of comic
buying and reading have changed since childhood, and have a long, detailed
discussion about what it's like working for Marvel, the distinctive traits of a
monkey, and the concept of new jack swing. Also, a special guest stops by to
address a hater.
