Comic writer Rafael Scavone talks horror in the woods with “Hailstone”

BONUS INTERVIEW—LA-based pop artist Sheer explains the story behind her new single

I've been loving the new comic series Hailstone, and in this episode, I sat down with writer Rafael Scavone to talk all about it.

Taking place near the end of the Civil War, the series is set in the small town of Hailstone, Montana. A brutal winter has closed the roads and left nothing for the town to eat. But even worse, people have been disappearing one after another! Sheriff Denton Ross and his deputy Tobias start down a dangerous path as they investigate the disappearances, the army's factory, and just why it is in this isolated place.

Rafael and I go deep into the origins of the story and the team he worked with. It's one of his first creator-owned titles and he talks about what this allowed them to do. We look at Sheriff Ross and his role in the story, and give a few hints into his history in Hailstone.

After the break, LA-based pop artist Sheer goes into her new single “Beep,” which is being released on June 18. The message behind the tune not settling for less than your worth, and we explore how this came to be. Sheer and I talk about the recent music video that was made for “Beep” and the chemistry with her fellow cast member that made it work.

Following the interview, enjoy the new single. I really liked the unique elements that make it stand out from similar pop songs.
