Summary

In this episode of the Divergent Comics podcast, I sit down with author Mike Driver to discuss his journey into writing and the inspiration behind his book King of the Block. We explore the story’s themes and its complex anti-hero, Rafe Simmons, who struggles with the consequences of his life rather than embracing it. Mike shares insights on authenticity in storytelling, his creative process, and why writers should focus on telling the stories that matter to them. We also touch on the future of the series, including the sequel Rafe’s Return and potential spinoffs.
