🎙️ USDN PODCAST — Indie Comic Spotlight: Grinding Against The Marrow w/ Snake | USDN Podcast InterviewCreator of Grinding Against The Marrow“In every town, there’s a darkness people pretend not to see. A walkway they don’t walk down. A story they’re too afraid to hear. But sometimes… a storyteller shows up who’s willing to drag that story into the light.”This episode of the USDN Podcast features Snake — the UK indie comic creator behind Grinding Against The Marrow, a raw, poetic, street-level character drama published by Markosia.The story follows Soma, a homeless ex-junkie Muslim woman navigating the violence, prejudice, and claustrophobic hostility of her hometown. Blending parkour-driven action, poetry-infused narration, and brutal realism, Grinding Against The Marrow is quickly earning attention for its honesty, movement, and emotional weight.In this conversation, we explore:• The origins of Grinding Against The Marrow • Creating Soma and writing survival with authenticity • Using poetry as narrative muscle, not decoration • Building the oppressive world of Marrow • Working with Markosia and Webtoon Canvas • Audience feedback and creator growth • What’s next for Soma — and for SnakeThis is a story born from fractures — and shaped by resilience.The USDN Podcast — Where Indie Comics Come to Life. This is The Chairman, and the Council of Nerds is adjourned.🔗 GUEST LINKS📖 Grinding Against The Marrow (Webtoon): https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/grinding-against-the-marrow/list?title_no=1025007📸 Scott Matthew Watson (Snake) — Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/snake87smw/🛒 Publisher (Markosia): https://markosia.com/2025/10/17/grinding-against-the-marrow-1-on-drivethrucomics-and-comixology/
