Show Notes

This week, Jonah and Renessa Zoom in from their clandestine podcast retreat in Trumptown, Connecticut! And our amazing guest is Steve Orlando, a comic book writer known for his work for DC Comics writing characters such as Batman, Martian Manhunter, and Wonder Woman, and two series starring Midnighter, which were nominated for a GLAAD Media Award. He received the 2015 Broken Frontier Award for Best New Series for Midnighter, and the 2018 Tor Books Best Comics of 2018 for Martian Manhunter. We talk about how he broke into writing for comic books, queer representation in comics,  making the leap from working full-time for DC Comics to going freelance,  and some of his latest projects like The Pull and Kill a Man. Check it out!
