Chain Gang War #1 with Will Pfeifer

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Will Pfeifer (writer of CATWOMAN, HERO, AQUAMAN) try not to get caught by the chromium chain and sent to the House of Corrections as they discuss 1993's CHAIN GANG WAR #1. Despite never having read an issue until now, CHAIN GANG WAR has loomed inexplicably large over Matt's comic book reading life.  And yet, he still can't figure out exactly why DC Comics decided to publish the series in the first place.  But he also wants to read the other 11 issues.  Matt's complicated. Will just learned that CHAIN GANG WAR exists (he was too busy reading hipster comics or "comix" in the 1990's) but he quickly develops an appreciation for its extensive usage of sound effects and the fashion style of one particular character. Also, ATTENTION WRITING NERDS: Will shares some fantastic insights on his writing process.  Spoiler alert: More stick figures than you'd expect are involved.
