It's being crowdfunded on Kickstarter at this very moment and will be released by our parent company, Xylophone. We talk to James & Josh about how they're working together on this unique collaboration, the primacy and practicality of working using traditional tools, the history of split comic stories, how punk rock influenced them, and so much more.  BUY! Head to Kickstarter to make pledge and get yourself one of the limited edition copies of the Naked Raygun Broken Things limited edition etched 7" and comic book.
