October 6, 2011 - This is a very cool episode of Talksplode. We\u2019ve got Blair Butler of G4\u2032s Attack of the Show and writer of the upcoming Image series, Heart, and Charles Soule, writer of 27, also from Image Comics, but we\u2019re not just going to be plugging books. Along with Josh Flanagan, also a comic book writer looking to get published, the discussion is all about making comics, breaking in, getting started, finding artists, and the real things involved in the process. From marketing to design to scripting to page layout, we cover a lot of ground in this lengthy and diverse discussion about what\u2019s it\u2019s like to make professional, independent comics today.\n\nPart of the discussion was based on this piece, Making Comics: Why I\u2019ve Failed So Far.\n\nMake sure to follow Blair and Charles on Twitter for updates on their comic book adventures. You can also go to Blair\u2019s website and Charles\u2019 blog.
