A group conversation centered on Grendel and independent/small-press comics culture. Mireault reflects on his Grendel run (#13–15) and an upcoming B&W Grendel graphic novel. Matt describes his autobiographical strips for SNARF (to be collected as Automatt by Kitchen Sink) and his plans to color the Batman/Grendel project. McKeown previews his upcoming Grendel #41–50 run, aiming for a Road Warrior/Lone Wolf and Cub aesthetic. The group also discusses self-publishing, creator ownership, and Canadian versus American comics culture.

In his wide-ranging debut interview for the magazine, Hoberg covers his years working alongside Russ Manning on the Tarzan and Star Wars newspaper strips, his extensive animation career (storyboarding Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, G.I. Joe, Thundarr, and others at Marvel Productions and Hanna-Barbera, including a stint directing in Korea), and his recent move to Batman at DC. He is blunt about declining art quality at Marvel, the economics of Saturday morning animation versus comics work, and his belief that storytelling fundamentals — learned from Manning, Roy Thomas, and Doug Wildey — matter more than artistic showiness.
