The last of the rerun episodes, as I wrap up my interview with J.M. DeMatteis. We talk Moonshadow, the Bwah-Ha-Ha era of JLI, his animation work, and other parts of his career.
Before we start any new interviews (the first of which is already recorded…), we have a repeat of part 1 of my interview with legendary author J.M.

We wrap up the very first interview done at Welcome to Geektown, covering Evan’s work on Ultimate Alliance 2, his time as a professor, as well as listener questions.
