If comic revolution is the name of the game here at Making Comics (dotCom), then our good friends Mark Luetke and Bizhan Khodabandeh are risking it all on the front lines. Their weapon of choice?

#TalkingComics w/ Kevin Cullen: Jason Brubaker on Audiobooks and Unnatural Talent
From launching incredibly successful Kickstarters and developing Dreamworks feature films, to writing a “how-to” book on self-publishing comics, Making Comics Dot Com’s very own Jason Brubaker is one busy, busy fellow. Recently, he’s turned his attention towards a project that has piqued plenty of curiosity: the creation of an audiobook. With the help of a new Kickstarter campaign, Jason hopes to pull in enough funding to allow him to record his highly-praised book, Unnatural Talent, as an audiobook!
