Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jason Aaron Interview: Writing Thundarr the Barbarian, TMNT, Absolute Superman, Uncle Scrooge
Q: Any hints on whether Thundarr will stay a short series or become ongoing?
Thundarr is conceived as a six-issue mini that could set up future stories, with room to expand depending on reception and collaboration, rather than an ongoing series from the start.
Jason Aaron Interview: Writing Thundarr the Barbarian, TMNT, Absolute Superman, Uncle Scrooge
Q: Will there be an Absolute Lex in Absolute Superman or is that coming in another title?
Yes, Lex Luthor appears in Absolute Superman, with a plan for his arc that deviates from traditional incarnations; the approach is to surprise readers by reshuffling where characters stand and what they are doing within this universe.
Jason Aaron Interview: Writing Thundarr the Barbarian, TMNT, Absolute Superman, Uncle Scrooge
Q: So since you brought up Conan the Barbarian, I have to ask, how is your approach with Thundarr different than the approach for Conan, other than they are different settings, of course?
There's Conan in the DNA of Thundarr, but the backstory, origin, and character relationships are explored in a distinct way that reflects Thundarr's world while still drawing from Conan as a touchstone. The story aims to be a deeper character study rather than a straight sword-and-sorcery comparison.
Garth Ennis Interview: The Boys, Preacher, Punisher, and working in comics
Q: Working on Preacher, was that planned from the beginning with Steve Dillon or did it evolve with twists and turns?
Preacher developed slowly with fits and starts; the ideas emerged over a year or two, characters became clear gradually, Cassidy's Irish identity and other key elements were refined over time, whereas The Boys had a much more straightforward arc from the start.
Phil Hester Interview: A Quiet Place: Storm Warning, Green Arrow, Nightwing, and X-Men
Q: What led you to write and draw A Quiet Place while also working on other projects?
I thumb-nail and script in Marvel-style layouts to satisfy approvals, then work with the artist to realize the silent storytelling; the process is demanding but incredibly rewarding for conveying drama without dialogue.
