## Resource

This week we speak with Skybound, the entertainment company behind The Walking Dead and Invincible. The company is about to release an ambitious new fighting game called Invincible VS, and CEO David Alpert and co-chair Jon Goldman tell us all about it. The two also discuss the fighting game genre, why they have to accept bad The Walking Dead games, the reason it isn't publishing indie titles anymore, and... vampires. Enjoy!
