On this episode I will be speaking with the Cover artist of the TMNT Universe series and the Batman/ TMNT crossovers Mr. Freddie Williams II.
Of course I could not leave out the wonderful work that he did on The Masters of the Universe & Thundercats crossover or the Masters of the Universe & Injustice Crossover as well. We are talking art style, artists that we both admire and some great books that influenced his style. Not to mention how he broke into the business, upcoming projects and What we would want to see as his next big Crossover!
This week's Pizza time recipe is a New York Cheesecake Pizza, so come and give us a listen.
