Grant dives into comics after that: Oni Press has chosen its first general submission series! (hint: it wasn't Grant & Andy's book...); Did X-23's first appearance get recategorized?; and holy shit, that's a lot of Marvel variant covers...

AND THEN WE HAVE THE SPECIALER GUEST: Jenny Garone from Celebration Cinema! She talks about the secretive Star Wars mania that has taken over, and some other juicy theater nuggets only we are privy to!

It's not every day one has time to sit and talk with one of the most influential comic artists in the history of the medium, but such was the case for Grant during the 2015 Grand Rapids Comic Con.
An unabashed slappy for the Silver Age classic "Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen," Grant gets to discuss one of the greatest covers ever drawn, and even chat with Neal about DC comics post-Convergence.
Yeah, that's the stuff. Neal also talks a bit about his upcoming projects and sets the record straight on Clark Kent's second-favorite ginger (Lana Lang number ONE, man).
You can get your Neal fix via his website, his Twitter, and cruise his store for some amazing pieces of original art and prints.

Wow.
As a huge fan of both the Green Arrow comics and the Arrow television show, Grant was absolutely floored to spend some time with Mike Grell, artist and writer for the seminal "Green Arrow: the Longbow Hunters."
Grell was the man responsible for taking Ollie to the level or street-level crime fighter in an urban setting, and that infusion of purpose and tone greatly influenced the character for decades to come.
Enjoy, and make time to head over to Mr. Grell's site and gawk over his phenomenal body of work!
