For the third year in a row, Jack and Artie brought their mic setup to Jetpack Comics' Free Comic Book Day festival to interview guests and record some awesome content. In part one of a two part mega episode, we start things off with three epic TMNT interviews!

Our first guest is one of the original Mirage writers and artists, Eric Talbot! All the way from the earliest days of the turtles to the recent IDW content, Eric's instantly recognizable style has been used to tell some of the best Ninja Turtles stories the world has ever known. Eric was great to have on the show and definitely a fantastic interview!!

Next, we are joined by three time Geek Gossip guest Jim Lawson! Best known as the creator of the villain Rat King, Jim has made tons of awesome indie comics such as the Box City Wallops and Walk Through Dinosaurland, in addition to the awesome work he's done with the Turtles. Jim pretty much kills it with everything he cranks out so he's always been a great person to talk to!

Last but not least, coming onto the Geek Gossip for a second time is our good friend Steve Lavigne! The one-man-party basis for Michelangelo himself, Steve is legendary for bringing a more cartoony style to the world of Ninja Turtles. He's super nice, hilarious and talented so it was amazing having him on the show!

Huge shout outs to Eric Talbot, Jim Lawson, Steve Lavigne and Jetpack Comics & Games for making this extraordinary episode possible! Part 2 comes out next week!!!
