Ed Brisson (Predator, Batman, The Violent) swings by with his thoughts on crime films, crime authors, and how Jim Jarmusch's Night on Earth changed his perception of the rules of storytelling.

Update: 2023-06-04

Description

Ed Brisson is an exceptional comic book writer. His character-driven crime stories are some of the best and most engaging books that have been published by any company in the past 15 years.

His creator-owned titles include: Sheltered, The Last Contract, There's Something Wrong With Patrick Todd, and his next surefire hit series: The Sins of the Salton Sea.

Of course, crime comics aren't the only thing Ed does well. Over at Marvel and DC, he's written several excellent Batman books, taken the reins on Alpha Flight, and dabbled with The X-Men, Ghost Rider, and The Avengers. And he's worked on licensed properties as well, doing highly acclaimed runs on Predator, Sons of Anarchy, and Robocop.

On this episode, Ed joins us to discuss crime movies, crime authors, and weighs in with his thoughts on whether or not anyone should be adapting Elmore Leonard to comics.
