Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marc Silvestri & Matt Hawkins Interview: X-Men, Wolverine, Image Comics, Witchblade, and more
Q: What is your best advice for someone trying to break into comics today?
Aspire to present work at conventions, build a portfolio of sequential work (minimum five pages), seek feedback, and keep refining. If your work resonates and you keep learning from editors and peers, you'll get hired.
J. Scott Campbell & Scott Dunbier Interview: Revisiting the 90s for Danger Girl Artist Edition
Q: What makes Artist Editions special compared to traditional comics?
Artist Editions reveal the original art in high resolution, include blue-line overlays, pencil work, and sometimes holograms, offering readers a behind‑the‑scenes look at the artistic process that's not available in standard comics.
J. Scott Campbell & Scott Dunbier Interview: Revisiting the 90s for Danger Girl Artist Edition
Q: What inspired the idea for Danger Girl and how did it come together?
Danger Girl grew from a mix of my love for 80s action cinema, spy teams, and blockbuster adventure storytelling, plus Andy Hartnell's collaboration; the concept clicked almost effortlessly as we brainstormed after meeting through editors and fellow creators.
J. Scott Campbell & Scott Dunbier Interview: Revisiting the 90s for Danger Girl Artist Edition
Q: How did winning the Nintendo Power contest influence your career trajectory?
It launched me into the comic book world and connected me with opportunities that helped me pivot from a fan to a working artist, ultimately shaping my path towards major titles and collaborations.
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.
