In this world, wizard detectives operate like a specialized unit, led by Larry Slaughter, and the stakes aren’t just monsters and mayhem — it’s also bureaucracy, survival, and what happens when a team is on the verge of being shut down and needs a win. We talk about where the idea came from, how Justin balances comedy with real danger, and the tricky craft of writing a world where “law” and “magic” collide — especially when the characters are tempted to do questionable things for what they think is the greater good. If you like urban fantasy with teeth — and Kickstarter comics you can jump into right now — you’ll have fun with this conversation. The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.
