Interview: Jennifer Estep joins us to talk about her Bigtime Superhero series, which began with “Karma Girl”, and continues with the new release, “Hot Mama”. She tells us about what inspired the stories in the series, her superheros and supervillians, and the city they live and battle in, and the relationships there to be explored. Jennifer also gives us a glimpse into some upcoming works set in other worlds, and the preparation for the third Bigtime book, “Jinx”.
