Description

Comics writer and cartoonist Kyle Starks joins me to talk about his brand-new Image Comics series, Wrestle Heist — a wild blend of pro-wrestling spectacle and fast-paced crime caper energy. We get into how the idea came together, his trademark mix of humor and heartfelt chaos, and what makes this book stand apart from his previous creator-owned hits.

Kyle also discusses his recent work writing Peacemaker for DC’s Black Label, sharing how he brought his offbeat humor and emotional grit to one of DC’s most unpredictable antiheroes. He teases his upcoming Vertigo series debuting next year, which pushes him into darker, more character-driven territory while still keeping his sharp dialogue and storytelling muscle.

Plus, we dig into the next wave of creator-owned projects he’s got cooking — from new collaborations to long-planned solo works that show just how versatile and fearless he’s become as a writer.
