The SEGA Lounge Mixdown Productions

This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rik Mack, artist extraordinaire, who's been working on IDW's Sonic comic, among other projects. We got into his love for SEGA since his early years, how influential Fleetway's Sonic the Comic was for him, and how Rik ended up fulfilling his dream of working on a comic about SEGA's blue blur.

It's almost been 3 months since the release of RGG Studio's latest masterpiece, so KC invited Matt Oliver and Brian Vines back on the show to discuss Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Listen to everyone's opinions on the game, where they spent most of their time, and their shared dislike for a certain character.

It's not every week we get to discuss a fan film, and certainly not one based on Streets of Rage. Joining KC this week are Fran Campos, creator and director, Danny Stokes, co-writer and creative consultant, and Adrian Vereda, actor who gives life to Axel in the upcoming "RAGE: Unleashed". They're all massive Streets of Rage fans and share the origins and importance of both this project and the original short film that came before it.
