This is Comic Eastpeak, episode 632, a conversation with Jason Aaron.

Welcome to Comic Eastpeak. I'm Brian Deamer. I'm Shane Kelly. And I'm Brian Christman.

And this episode of Comic Geekak is sponsored by Titanium Rain.

If you don't know what Titanium Rain is, it's a comic book coming out from Archaia.

It is by Josh Finney and Kat Roka.

It's set slightly in the future.

There's a war. It's like, you know, there's military

planes and stuff. And I don't think that anything that I say can properly describe

the sheer awesomeness of this book. First of all, the artwork is stunning. Kat and Josh

have this whole process where they

do these many, many layered, multi-stepped thing to come up with something that looks incredibly

photorealistic and they work off some reference photos, but they draw everything by hand. It's this whole process. It's absolutely beautiful. And then the story is this. If you're flipping through the book, you might just think, it's some slightly futuristic military, you know, story. That's not, there is a whole depth to this that is, you have to read it to

experience. We, we had dinner with Kat and Josh in San Diego last year and we had this incredible

conversation with Josh, well, Kat and Josh, but Josh was, you know, talking, because Josh is the

writer and he was talking about his, his, his, some ideas behind this and, and where he wanted to go with

this. And it's like Tom Clancy meets, I don't know, some, some intense philosopher or something,

right? It's like this interesting mix. It's not just like an action,

adventure, spy story or something. It is this new world order kind of kind of thing that's

being mixed in. And it's, it's, it's, it's really good. And it and I think these, I think these two are somebody to, are a team to look out for because I think they could become a powerhouse in comics at some point.

I think they're working on a whole other level that could take things by storm.

And I'm not just saying that because they're sponsored in this episode.

I'm saying that because their first issue of titanium rain blew me away and hit me.
