OF HEROES & VILLAINS, DINOSAURS, EXOSUITS AND OTHER SCARY THINGS: An interview with Renee Witterstaetter

The 24th seal of the Roboplastic Apocalypse is pulverized instantly like a Tyrannosaurus getting kicked in the face by Jackie Chan when special guest Renee Witterstaetter demolishes the Kingdom Roboplastico! Join me my fellow Macrocranians as I talk to this prolific writer, author, colorist and editor about her career spanning multiple artistic disciplines and numerous roles within and beyond the comic book industry. Thrill to stories from behind the scenes at Topps Comics during the production of the ill-fated ExoSquad book and other fascinating tales like why the powers that be at Marvel weren't interested in doing a Jurassic Park movie adaptation. It's all here and more in this THE ONLY CELEBRATION OF EXOSQUAD'S 18TH ANNIVERSARY WE'RE GONNA GET edition of the Podcastalypse!

Here in part 2 of the RoboMiami ComiConCastalypse I sit down with Renee Witterstaetter at WizardWorld Miami 2011 and we talk about her past work in comics and the tons of things she's doing currently in the fields of writing, editing, publishing and being an agent for other artists. It's a conversation about believing in yourself, believing in your ideas and being afraid to take chances (but then taking them anyway). It's also a little about dinosaurs and fighting an outer space civil war with giant robot battle armor. You can keep up with Renee at her blog WitterstaeterWrites.blogspot.com and stay on top of upcoming convention appearances by her and all the Eva Ink artists at EvaInkArtistGroup.com. Their next convention is Wizard World Toronto March 18-20th then it's back to Florida for MegaCon March 25-27th!
