Mike Marts is the Editor-in-Chief of AfterShock Comics.
Mike tells the story of how he arrived where he is in the comic industry today: How he got his feet back underneath himself after dropping out of USMA West Point in the first two weeks; to becoming Executive Editor to famed comic book productions including X-Men and Batman. Finally his story culminates in being a founding partner of AfterShock Comics.
Mike's hard work, dedication, and genuine good character are something I admire. Therefore, he was the perfect first guest for my podcast!
