On this edition of the Word Balloon podcast, we sit down with artist Art Baltazar, who's Tiny Titans has proved to be an all ages hit for DC Comics. You'll hear about what's in store for the Titans, including Art's gentile satiric take on the current events of the DCU. Darkseid is taking over the Titans school, and detention will never be the same.

We discuss Art and his co-writer Franco Aureliani's writing and art process, from their brainstorm sessions, to the fully produced page. We also talk about their contribution to this week's DC Holiday Special , a Nightwing-Robin story, with art from Tim Levins.

You'll hear more about Art's original characters and trade collection from his electric milk imprint. Check out Art's work, at his website, http://www.artbaltazar.com/
