The creative team behind ComiXology's Edgeworld and both past guests, Chuck Austen and Pat Olliffe, are back! This time it's a project called Defiant, a space sci-fi epic from those cool cats at DSTLRY. And twist! This is Chuck's last comic book work before he retires. We get into everything, from developing the characters and story to artistic world building and more!

Unfortunately, Defiant has been creeping back in the release schedule, but as of now, it looks like June 25 is the street date. You can keep up with all things DSTLRY on their site, https://dstlry.co, and follow Chuck at chucklesausten.com and Pat on Instagram at @polliff65.
