THE FANTASTIC POUR

Brett welcomes Ward Hill Terry to the Fantasti-Lounge to talk Nexus! We enjoy a refreshing end-of-summer Gin Cocktail and read Nexus issue #9.  Join us in the Fantasti-Lounge as we discuss: Is Nexus the hero or villain of his story? Who would make up Terry's indy comics superhero team? Does one of Terry's favorite bands have their house in the middle of their street? And much, much more!
