What inspires an individual to put pen to paper and begin building out an entire comic book universe? What contributes to an author's art style selection, storyboarding, and character creation? In this interview episode, Arizona-based comic book artist Nick Cagnetti illustrates his journey from a kid who frequently drew inspiration from Spider-Man to a professional with his own critically acclaimed works. He is the man behind the stylish and retro Pink Lemonade comic with a colorful horror themed Spirit of the Shadows coming to a comic book store near you!
Spirit of the Shadows releases on January 28th, 2026. Pre-order at your local comic book store by January 5th, 2026!

Cognitive Dissonance
Cognitive dissonance is a normal psychological phenomenon that every human being struggles with in distinct ways. These are the moments in life where cognition comes into direct conflict with reality in unique ways. In this episode, co-hosts Antasia, Tal, and Jared explore the psychology and science underpinning cognitive dissonance as well as the theory which attempts to explain it. Ultimately, it is up to the individual on how to best address this state of dissonance.
