Join us for a fun-filled episode featuring the return of award-winning comic book writer and creator Dirk Manning! Dirk is the author of Write or Wrong: A Writer's Guide to Creating Comics and has written numerous popular comic books, including the supernatural noir series Tales of Mr. Rhee and the genre-bending horror anthology Nightmare World.

It's been about a decade since Dirk last appeared on the show, so this reunion is long overdue. In this episode, we dive into his latest Kickstarter project, Love Stories About Death, and discuss his work with Source Point Press and his extensive portfolio of other compelling titles.

Dirk also gives tips on how to break into the comic book industry and run a successful crowdfunding campaign. (He has raised over half a million dollars in pre-sales on Kickstarter alone and counting.)

At GenreTainment, Marx & Julie talk about what's happening in the world of books, movies, TV, web series and games. We bring you interviews with writers, game designers, directors, producers and actors of both independent and not-so-independent works.
