This week's guest on the Hypothetic Isle is penciler Aaron Kuder. Hear all about his early dancing days, and how he started in comics. The hypothetical situation on this episode gets pretty hairy.

This week Reilly and George are joined by the immensely talented Nick Bradshaw! Learn all about Nick's beginnings in animation, how he entered the world of comics, and how, if you are a minty chocolate treat, you probably won't want to be his friend.

The guest this week on the Hypothetical Island is writer and filmmaker Kyle Higgins. Kyle drops all kinds of fascinating info, like the direct link between Spider-Man and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, where to find good deep dish pizza, and the scene behind-the-scenes at the New 52.

Reilly and George are joined on the Hypothetical Island this week by Christos Gage. He's written comics, he's written movies, he's written TV, and he's written video games.

Just download us,give us a five star rating and go not-love comics somewhere else, buddy. . 

This week on the podcast Reilly and George are joined by special guest Fabian Nicieza. You might think a creator of his calibre would be exempted from the usual silliness regarding hypothetical Islands and doomed-if-you-do situations, but you'd be wrong. Dead wrong.
