Episode 34: Megatron, Attack! with Steve Lieber



Welcome to another installment of The Hour Cosmic, your favorite comics game show! This week, our guest is Steve Lieber, artist extraordinaire!

On this week’s show, among other things, we discuss:
-Boob (and butt) windows!
-McMurdo Station!
-Potential New Doctors!
-Brian and Steve's Malfunctioning Toys!
Let’s meet our guest, shall we?



Steve Lieber is one of the seemingly thousands of artists living in Portland, OR, and is a member of Periscope Studios. He is currently the artist on "The Superior Foes of Spider-Man," written by Nick Spencer. Steve is an Eisner-winning artist for his work on the "Whiteout" series with Greg Rucka, and has done great work in the past for DC ("Hawkman"), Dark Horse ("Alabaster"), Image ("Underground") and much, much more. Steve's website is one of the best of any comic professionals, as he offers lots of practical advice for those who want to get into the business, as well as offering a ton of free comics. He is on Twitter, has a Tumblr, and is our second guest this summer to have attended the Joe Kubert School.

As always, your hosts are:



Brian Salvatore – New Jerseyan, New York Mets enthusiast, host of “Input/Output,” a music podcast, and occasional blogger/freelance writer. He has never met a dog he didn’t like (even that one that bit his leg when he was 10), and has baked better bread than he ever thought possible.

Chad Bowers – South Carolinian, GI Joe enthusiast, co-writer of “Subatomic Party Girls" “Down Set Fight,” and “Awesome Hospital” with Chris Sims, and writer of “Monster Plus.” He teaches us cool expressions like “Oh, snakes!” and has a lot of opinions about barbeque.

Matthew Meylikhov – Bostonian, cat and beard enthusiast, co-writer of “Detective Space Cat” with Colin Bell, writer of “Morning Glories Babies,” "Morning Glories Academy Study Hall" (both backmatter for the Image Comics series "Morning Glories") and “Control,” and letterer extraordinaire. He reads more comics than anyone on the planet, and has sworn off White Castle for life.
