Welcome to another installment of The Hour Cosmic, your favorite comics game show! This week, our guests are the creators of "Sabretooth Swordsman," Damon Gentry and Aaron Conley!

On this week’s show, among other things, we discuss:

- Ultimicity!


- The best Ninja Turtle!

- The Machete Order!

Let's meet our guests, shall we?



Aaron Conley and Damon Gentry are the co-creators of "Sabretooth Swordsman," an original graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics. They are currently, and happily, working on Volume 2 for Dark Horse, hopefully due in 2015. Outside of their tiger-themed work, Gentry wrote a story for "Eerie" #2, which was illustrated by friend of the show Mike Allred, and drew a pin-up in "Shaolin Cowboy" #1. Conley has done covers and pin ups for books like "Regular Show: Skips," "Shaolin Cowboy," "Creepy," "Undertow," "Prophet" and "It Girl and the Atomics." You can find them at their website, you can follow Damon on Twitter (@invademyprivacy), and Aaron on Instagram (@aaronconley77) - and make sure to look out for a new 8-page color "Sabretooth Swordsman" appearing in the relaucnhed "Dark Horse Presents" #1 in August.
