In this episode of Let’s Talk Comics, Jim Viscardi sits down with Eisner-winning artist and writer Michael Walsh to dive into his ever-evolving career and the creator-owned magic he's making at Image Comics.

We go deep on:

  • The design-driven process behind Exquisite Corpses and its killer lineup

  • His collaborative process with James Tynion IV and building comics like a writer’s room

  • Lessons learned from both indie and work-for-hire comics

  • And what’s next on the horizon
