Summary

Thanks to iFanboy patrons, it's Talksplode time. After wrapping up the 60th and final issue of Chew, with John Layman, series artist Rob Guillory laid low for a while. But you knew he had to come back eventually, right? With a style completely his own, and a sense of humor Chew fans will instantly recognize, Rob has just announced Farmhand, his new creator owned series, out in July from Image Comics. Josh caught up with Rob to talk about the new series, where it came from, as well as how he got there, from starting his career before Chew, and the massive success it became, and where to go from there. For more on Rob, get over to RobGuillory.com. Total Running Time: 00:54:29 Music: “Return of the Farmer's Son" Thin Lizzy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
