Adam Lawson makes his return to Change My Mind following his first successful Indiegogo campaign (The Eighth) to talk about his new project with Friar and Doc: The Kill Journal.

Synopsis: Revenants are vengeful spirits back from the dead, wielding chainsaws and machetes. Now, the victims of their attacks — the ones still alive — are rising up and taking a bloody stand. Led by the half-mad preacher, St. George, the survivors are purging the world of these monsters before they become one themselves.

The Kill Journal campaign is now live on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-kill-journal/x/23534836#/

Jonboy Meyers talks life as a comic book artist - A Friarside Chat

TLDR Comic Book Club — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 04:00:00 GMT

Sometimes, we pick up comics because we know a little about the story or characters involved. Sometimes, we know the writer is going to produce a good story or the interior artist is impressive.

Then there are those times we pick up a comic we know nothing about because it has an amazing cover. And if you've done that — which any true comic book junkie has — you've likely found yourself picking up a Jonboy Meyers cover. But, Jonboy's love for comics goes beyond the kick-ass covers he draws.

The veteran artist joined Doc and FryGuy to talk about his two-decade-plus career in comics, and what he's looking to do moving forward.

Be sure to check out Jonboy's amazing art on Instagram @jonboy007007 and at jonboymeyers.com!
