On Fresh is the Word, we like to deliver wisdom through great stories from the minds of bright creatives of pop culture. Through those stories, we like to dissect the journey of our guests and present actionable lessons and advice for our listeners no matter what career or avenue of artistry they pursue.

This episode is the Haunted High-Ons special with interviews from everyone a part of the creative team of the comic book starring the dastardly duo of Jamie Madrox and Monoxide of the rap group Twiztid! We have three interviews this episode all recorded at this years Astronomicon pop culture convention in Sterling Heights, Michigan with writer Dirk Manning, artists Marianna Pescosta & Alessandro de Fornasari, and of course, Twiztid! We go through the origins of Haunted High-Ons, the inspiration behind the story and artwork, the release of the new series The Darkness Rises, and the special announcement for the C2E2 convention.
