Greg and Nick grill Jason about his love of comics, from its beginnings through its ups, downs and recent resurgence. In the process, he explains how comics help cope with the travel involved with being a wrestling referee, the Marvel Comics stories that defined his youth, his fandom of Jonathan Hickman, the joys of back-issue digging, and the hilarity of the early ’90s WCW comic.
Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. In Secret Origins, the boys talk with guests to uncover their personal history with comic books and the stories that turned them into fans.
