Now, keeping his secret from his gorgeous fiancé and the FBI, he must hunt down the wolf that infected him before the disease turns him into a monster.

Issue 5, the penultimate issue, of We Kill Monsters hit stands last week setting the stage for the big finish.

Geoff is a comic book lawyer.  He is an intellectual property litigator and represented Todd McFarlane in Gaiman v. McFarlane. We talk a lot about comics including the Siegel and Kirby cases and a little McFarlane.  For good measure, we even chat a bit about Monster's cease and desist letter to Rock Art Brewery over their Vermonster Beer.
