For this season of Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex are heading back into outer space to dive into Boom Studios' Joyride from co-writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (aka the "Hivemind"), artist Marcus To, and colorist Irma Kniivila. The guys run through the comic book history of the full creative team (including letterer Jim Campbell), along the way noting on how and when each of them first came across the book, and discuss how the creators are far more recognizable names now than they were when the book first came out. Then they talk a little about what drew them to the story and give a spoiler-free tease for the series. It's another version of the kids-on-bikes setup (think Paper Girls or Outpost Zero), but instead of bikes, the kids here just steal a whole spaceship.

This is a really fun, early work from some creators who are now mainstays in the industry, and we're excited to jump in. So go find Joyride Volume 1 (issues #1-4 if you're reading the floppies or have the recently-released complete collection edition) and join us here next week to get into it!
