THIS WEEK:
I wear my fandom on my sleeve this week as I interview Steve Rude, a guy whose work reminds most of us why we fell in love with comic books in the first place.

The comic business being what it is, Steve decided to take control of his future with the launch of Rude Dude Productions. Over the course of a near-30 minute chat, Rude talks about the industry, Rude Dude, his beloved creations Nexus and the Moth, and Vincent Furnier.
