Interview - David Pepose - Space Ghost! On Sale May 1, 2024 - Artist JONATHAN LAU

David, thanks for being on the AIPT Comics podcast. How much research did you feel you needed diving into Space Ghost, or are you a super fanatic and needed no time to know it all?
Jan, Jace, and Space Ghost proper hasn’t really had a backstory, which means you could start clean slate. Was there an inspiration that you started with to delve into building out this continuity?
We’ve had Batman writers tell us they hear Kevin Conroy in their heads when writing him, do you find that Gary Owens or George Lowe pop in your head when writing Space Ghost?
There’s going to be fans of Coast to Coast and Hanna Barbara, are you thinking about both audiences for this series?
If Space Ghost was a song, what would it be and why?
1. Sidewinder - First Aquaman song
2. Queen Flash Gordon Theme
You’re just coming off Punisher, you had a great stint on FF, could you give us a hint at what’s next for you at Marvel?

Dave : The Ultimates #10 ( Mateus Manhanini ) CJ : The Terminator #5 ( Declan Shalvey ) Interview : Tyler Boss You’ll Do Bad Things #1 out March 26, with artist Adriano Turtulici What inspired you to blend the true crime genre with the pulpy, neon-soaked aesthetic of Giallo films in You’ll Do Bad Things ? How did the concept of a true crime writer whose fictional murders start happening in real life come to life? Was it your own writers block? Can you describe the creative journey behind developing Seth Holms as a character struggling to write a happy ending? The comic is described as a "love letter to the Italian slasher genre"—how have films like those of Dario Argento influenced your storytelling and visuals? 13 How do you balance the elements of horror, gore, and B-horror camp with a critique of our cultural obsession with true crime? I really liked how, in a scene set in the narrative, you call back to the fact we’re in the story within the story via lettering, was that in the script or Hassan’s idea? With He Came in with a Smile as a backdrop, how does Seth’s past impact the unfolding narrative in this new miniseries? What are some of the challenges you faced while infusing both literary and cinematic influences into a cohesive comic book experience? In what ways do you hope readers engage with the commentary on true crime fandom as they dive into this dark, twisted world? If you discovered that your own stories were coming to life, which character from 'You'll Do Bad Things' would you least want to encounter in a dark alley, and how would you try to escape their clutches?…

Matthew Rosenberg unpacks 'We're Taking Everyone Down with Us' and 'DC vs. Vampires' 1:04:26

Interview: Matthew Rosenberg We're Taking Everyone Down with Us #1 out March 26 (FOC March 3) Artist Stefano Landini Colorist Roman Titov Letters Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou Story and Themes We're Taking Everyone Down With Us blends super-spies, mad scientists, and robots with themes of family and revenge. What drew you to this mix of genres and how did it shape the story’s tone? Annalise’s journey is centered around two big choices—revenge or normalcy. What inspired this core conflict, and how do you balance her emotional arc with the high-stakes action? Favorite James Bond? You’ve worked on grounded crime stories like 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank and more fantastical ones like What's the Furthest Place From Here? . How does We're Taking Everyone Down With Us build on or depart from those previous works? Family seems to be a recurring theme in much of your work. What’s unique about the father-daughter relationship in this story? Characters and Development The story leans into some wild concepts—super-spies, futuristic tech, and global domination. Were there any particular influences from spy fiction, sci-fi, or pop culture that helped shape these elements? Process and Legacy You've mentioned this story turned out funnier and more heartfelt than you originally planned. Were there any moments during the writing process where you surprised yourself with how the story evolved? With your earlier work, like 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank , now being adapted into a film, how do you think your storytelling has changed or evolved over the years, and how does We're Taking Everyone Down With Us reflect that growth? Fun/Silly Question If Annalise’s robot bodyguards were to pick a theme song for their revenge mission, what song would they choose and why? DC vs. Vampires Questions Switching gears to DC vs. Vampires World War V, we already spoke wayyyyy back in August about the series before it launched, but with the special DC vs. Vampires: World War V – Darkness and Light #1 and essentially half the maxiseries out, (#7 out Mar 12th, 2025), how are you digging the fan reaction? With "DC vs. Vampires: World War V – Darkness and Light #1" releasing this week, Are there themes or messages you're particularly excited to explore in this installment? Alfred is becoming more or less the “good” guy main character, Can you discuss the psychological and moral complexities you aimed to portray in Alfred as he navigates his new identity as a GL? If DC vs. Vampires was made in 2026 riffing off the Absolute Universe, how would it be different? Anything you could tease for the second half of this series?…

Dave: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #7 ( Ferreyra Cover ) Dan: The Flash #18 (Mike Del Mundo) Interview: Nights - Wyatt Kennedy and Luigi Formisano - Nights #13 out Feb 26 (NEW STORY ARC - PERFECT JUMPING-ON POINT FOR NEW READERS) Nights #13 is out February 27th, and while the solicit says it’s a “perfect jumping on point” for the listeners, can you catch them up to speed if they’re just learning about Nights? Something that I’ve loved about Nights is how the most insane surprised occur many times in an issue, is there an art to plotting a single issue like you do? As we turn the page onto season 2, looking back at the first 12 issues, is there anything you would tweak or do differently? Luigi, you’ve worked with Wyatt long enough to have plenty of banter about "bizarre demands." Can you describe a moment where Wyatt’s vision challenged or inspired you to take the art in an unexpected direction? The series mixes playful moments with genuine horror. For both of you, what’s your approach to balancing these tones, and are there horror or non-horror works that directly influenced this? I gotta ask, nudity in this title is a curious one. Sometimes we see things, sometimes genitals are covered up, what gives?! The series takes place across both mundane and fantastical locations—Estonia’s cold landscapes and Las Vegas’s vibrant excess are especially highlighted in Nights #13. What’s the significance of setting in this arc, and how did you choose those locations? If Vince, Gray, Tsukumari, and the rest of the crew formed a rock band, what would their band name be, and what kind of music would they play?…

What inspired you to tackle these issues through Dani’s story? Can you give us the elevator pitch for the one-shot? Dani’s dual identity as herself and her online persona, Kyoko, highlights themes of performance and identity. How did you approach crafting the tension between these two worlds? You’ve mentioned exploring how people view and treat Asian women. What message or conversation do you hope Camgirl sparks in readers regarding this cultural obsession and the dangers it brings? Camgirl is framed as a psychosexual thriller. How do you balance the psychological tension and erotic elements to keep the story compelling and meaningful? Characters and Development The antagonist in Camgirl is an obsessive follower of Dani’s online persona. What can you tell us about the psychological or thematic importance of this stalker figure? Creative Process You’ve worked in speculative fiction before with Red Light . How did your creative approach differ when crafting a more grounded but still intense story like Camgirl ? Collaboration with an artist is key in comics. How did C.P. Smith’s art style help bring Dani’s world to life, especially when depicting the dual realities of her life and her online persona? Why the use of drugs in the book? If Dani could take a vacation from both her real life and her online persona, where do you think she’d go, and how would she spend her time off?…

How do you balance his intellectual, manipulative side with his more overt, imposing displays of power in this series? Vision and Timing: One World Under Doom has been in the works since 2023 and I can’t help but think this was made to be read with a new U.S. president shaking things up, am I way off base with this feeling? The Sorcerer Supreme Element: Incorporating Doom’s newfound status as Sorcerer Supreme super charges the villain yet we know we can’t have characters running around like gods… are there chinks in his armor you’re weaving into this story so that the heroes have a chance to defeat him? Squirrel girl fans must know, will she be a key component of your event? World-Building: Latveria has been shut away for some time, with it seemingly opening up in the first issue, how important to this story are any societal shifts or cultural dynamics spinning out of Doom taking over everything? Collaboration: Last time we spoke in November you were wrapping up the last issue of the arc, with some time to reflect on writing it, along with working with other creative teams for tie-ins, do you have a new perspective on what we’re in store for? Character Reactions: The Avengers and Fantastic Four have faced Doom countless times, yet Doom has been hidden away for some time, does that influence their emotional responses with Doom’s new global domination? The Mystery of Power: The series teases a mystery about how Doom convinced the world’s leaders to accept his rule, and it sort of reminded me of WWI, without giving away spoilers. Were you looking at any historical moments for inspiration to kick off his rule? Visual Storytelling: R.B. Silva’s art is a standout feature of the series, and likely he stuns consistently as I saw with issue #1, but do you have any Silva high water mark moments in any specific issues? Silly Question: If Doctor Doom were to design a reality TV show in his new United Latveria, what would it be called, and who would be its target audience?…

What inspired the decision to begin this new "Rebuild" era, why now? How do Radiant Black #31 and Rogue Sun #25 serve as jumping-on points for new readers? For Kyle (Radiant Black): With Marshall now fully stepping into the role of Radiant Black post-Catalyst War, what unique challenges will he face, both as a hero and as a person, in this new chapter? For Ryan (Rogue Sun): Aurie’s sudden emergence as a second Rogue Sun in issue #25 raises plenty of questions. Can you tease a bit about her background and how her relationship with Dylan will evolve? Why didn’t you renumber with #1 issues? For both: The theme of legacy plays a big role in both Rogue Sun and Radiant Black. How does the idea of who "deserves" to be a hero shape the stories you’re telling in this new era? Massive-verse movie I Am No/One update? Fun question: If Marshall and Dylan were forced to swap cities — Marshall in New Orleans and Dylan in Chicago — who would handle the switch better, and which city’s villains would give them the most trouble? Kyle I’d be remiss not to ask: Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse, anything you can tease?…

Rick Remender’s ‘The Seasons’: A whimsical, dark, and personal exploration 34:15

Check out a smattering of the questions asked in this interview below. What sort of themes are you juggling in Seasons? What inspired you to weave these themes together, and how do they relate to the broader human experience? How did you approach building the world of Seasons , and what were some of the unique challenges in creating a story set across different landscapes and "seasons"? Your work often includes flawed and complex protagonists. What can readers expect from the characters in Seasons ? You’ve collaborated with many artists over the years. What drew you to work with Paul Azaceta on this project, and how does his style complement the story? Something so endearing about the first issue is how it seems quite ordinary, yet subtle things like a guy with a jetpack reveal there’s more to this world. How do you balance showing too much or showing just enough? If you two were thrown into the world of Seasons, which of you would last the longest, and what ridiculous strategy would you use to survive? So what's The Seasons about? Summer, Winter, Spring and Autumn are the Seasons Sisters, the daughters of the world-renowned Seasons Detectives. Ten years ago, their famous parents disappeared. Left to raise themselves, the sisters formed an unbreakable bond. Now that bond is tested as the sisters fall prey to sinister forces. The youngest sister, Spring, is the last hope of saving them from a fate worse than death. Will Spring be able to piece her shattered family back together before it’s too late for them all? RICK REMENDER (BLACK SCIENCE) and PAUL AZACETA (OUTCAST) weave an elevated tale of whimsical horror unlike anything ever experienced in comics and it all starts with this double-length premiere issue!…

Balancing Epic and Intimate Stakes Absolute Wonder Woman balances large-scale conflict with deeply personal stakes. How do you ensure both aspects feel equally significant? You’ve said that Historia is sort of part of the DNA of the book even if it’s not cannon. Could you mention anything specfic you drew from that and where may have diverged? Recently there’s been a growing amount of WW/Cheetah shippers, does that influence your use of Barbara Minerva at all? A question from Ryan Perry, you’ve effectively used hyperviolence so that it’s something the reader can’t look away from, yet it doesn’t feel provocative. Is there a science to balancing a compassionate message with that same hyper-violence?…

Was there a specific moment or idea that sparked the "devil on your shoulder" premise? After the massive success of Eight Billion Genies , did you feel any pressure to create something equally ambitious? How did that influence the development of The Lucky Devils ? The series explores Faustian bargains and humanity’s struggle with temptation. What drew you to this theme, and how do you balance humor and darkness in such a morally complex story? How did you come to 9 issues specifically for the series? Character and Story Questions The road to Hell is paved with good intentions—is this series more of a cautionary tale, or is it about embracing the chaos? Creative Process Questions Ryan, you mentioned pushing the limits of "crazy world-building insanity"—what’s been the most fun or challenging thing to draw so far? Charles, how did your experience with morally complex stories like Star Wars or The Oracle Year influence your approach to writing The Lucky Devils ? Fun Question If you had a literal devil on your shoulder like in The Lucky Devils , what do you think it would tell you to do first? Would you listen? Closing Question What do you hope readers take away from The Lucky Devils ? Is there a particular emotion, idea, or lesson you want them to ponder after closing the final issue?…

"The solicitation teases mammoth water-construct Kaijus and the secrets of the 'blue.' What inspired this unique blend of mythology and high-stakes monster action?" "Aquaman is dubbed a 'god killer' in the first issue. Can you unpack what that title means for his character arc and how it might affect his relationships and responsibilities?"

"Dagon is introduced as Arthur's guide on his journey. What can you tell us about this character, and how does he influence Aquaman’s path in this series?" "Aquaman’s identity is often tied to his dual roles as a superhero and king. How does this series explore the balance — or imbalance — between those two worlds?" "Will we ever see the series go full JL adventure, or is this strictly Aquaman solo missions? "You’ve worked on iconic characters like the Flash and Green Lantern. How has your experience with those heroes informed your approach to writing Aquaman?" "Aquaman often wrestles with themes of legacy, power, and belonging. What are some of the core themes you’re excited to explore in this new series?"

Thematically, what inspired the blend of comedic and horror elements in this story, and how do these genres enhance the narrative? We’ve had Pornsak on, Michael Walsh, and each time I’m curious, how did you guys get in on this exciting project of one-shots? How was your collaboration with Pornsak? The Horizon Experiment introduces complex characters dealing with extraordinary circumstances—how did you approach balancing humanity with the monstrous elements of the plot? Can you share your creative process for developing the visual tone of the comic, and how the artwork complements the story's darker, chaotic themes? The concept of 'monsters' often carries deeper metaphorical weight—what underlying social or personal themes did you aim to explore through this one-shot? Take us through your collaborative process? For instance, what do the action beats look like in a script vs the page? Michael, a lot of the art has an almost fish-eye lens, what was your goal in that approach? Were there any monsters or villains you didn’t get to put in here that you’ve got sketched out? J, you probably get this all the time, but with a few comics series now under your belt, do you approach writing comics differently than with TV? How far out have you planned future chapters? What comics are you currently reading?…

Have you been a lifelong Ninja Turtles fan? What was your first experience with the turtles? Can you take us through your issue #6 cover, with Raph fighting a foto clan on a motorcycle driving along Leo’s sword…like wow how did this idea come to be? The Turtles are together and back in New York in issue #6, would you say the city is a character in itself? How did you make it come alive? Is there anything tricky about drawing four characters that are similar, but also ever so slightly different, like how Donnie is skinny? You’re a master at the side-scrolling layouts, will we see more of those? Did Jason Aaron’s script challenge you in any surprising ways? Now that you’ve had a hand in drawing all these turtles, is there a particular one you wouldn’t mind taking on a solo book series?

Throughout her life, Wonder Woman has faced some of the biggest challenges imaginable. Now, following the events of DC’s game-changing Absolute Power, Diana embarks on her next great adventure – the birth of her daughter, Trinity! With the Absolute Power tie-in wrapped up, how does it feel to get back to your main story arc? What does Trinity mean to you, as far as her potential legacy for Wonder Woman and DC? Should we expect The Sovereign to show up, is he inherently tied to Trinity’s origin? I feel like, with the creation of Damian, DC Comics has sort of owned the aspect of child heroes, and so far you’ve seemed to tie Damian and Trinity quite a bit. Are they inherently important to each other? We’ve gotten to know Trinity via the wonderful backups with art by Belén Ortega, and notably absent are the adults. Might you be exploring where they went off to? Daniel, your art is so striking, the fight around the Washington monument is one of my favorite fights ever in comics! Extending from interiors, your covers are incredible too. How do you approach them to make them so striking, is there a starting point? Since we’re talking about birth, why do you think it’s important Wonder Woman was made of clay? Is there a symbolic reason? Tom, thoughts on Green Lantern casting news?…

How does this series stand apart from previous Superman stories? When starting from scratch, so to speak, was it ever overwhelming figuring out what you wanted to use from the vast Superman tapestry? What themes are you most excited to explore with Superman in this series? Are there new facets of his personality or struggles you’re aiming to highlight? The concept of social class is a strong one in the first issue, why was that so important to this character? To be honest, the social class element made me immediately think of Batman, do you think your Superman would get along with Batman? What challenges have you faced in writing Superman (though not for the first time), a character often seen as the ultimate symbol of hope and morality? What would Absolute Superman think of main universe Superman, or vice versa? The first issue seems to suggest there’s some tweaks to Superman’s abilities, or maybe how he charges up. Was there a trial and error process of figuring out this Superman’s power set? Since you’ve been developing this series more or less alongside the Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman, did the development of those series influence your approach or take at all? Is there a panel or page Rafa blew you away? What’s your thoughts on the new Superman logo?…

Interview : Ryan North (STAR TREK LOWER DECKS/WARP YOUR OWN WAY out Oct 22, Fantastic Four, The Rise of Emperor Doom) Ryan, thanks for joining us on the AIPT Comics podcast for the second time! You’re having the nerdiest of years, with Star Trek Lower Decks/Warp Your Own Way out Oct 22nd, the ongoing Lower Decks #1 out November 13 and Fantastic Four cresting into a huge 2025 year, what has been your favorite nerd thing you created this year? STAR TREK LOWER DECKS/WARP YOUR OWN WAY is a choose-your-own adventure! What is the process of plotting something like this? Anything you learned from Hamlet or Romeo & Juliet that opened the way for new experimentation? About how many “storylines” can someone get out of the graphic novel? Maybe this is sacrilege to ask, but do you have a favorite ending for the graphic novel? Is the STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS ongoing series a direct continuation of the animated show, or taking place at a different period? I’ve heard that Heather Antos is basically an encyclopedia of Star Trek lore – how invaluable was it to have her as your editor on this project. Footnotes, you’re one of the best at them…how does it feel to have them return!? Without spoiling anything, Lower Decks #1 touches on a fun part of Trek’s past. Are there any corners of Trek that you haven’t explored in comics that you’d love to? There’s a lot of science in FF, does Star Trek Lower Decks let you stretch your science legs in different ways? You got to visit with the The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast, how long was the visit and how much did you get to see? Do you get a sense they’re sticking to the comics at all? Considering how much science is in your titles, will The Rise of Emperor Doom also be sciencey, or is it all magic all the time? How would the lower decks crew deal with Dr. Doom? Could they withstand his might? Rapid Fire Question Round: Best sandwich? What's one thing you own that you really should throw out? Apples or oranges? What was your first comic? Have you ever asked someone for their autograph? When do you think your style came into its own? What do you think happens when we die? Favorite action movie? Favorite smell? Least favorite smell? Favorite superhero? Most used app on your phone? If you could have dinner with any three characters you’ve created or written, who would they be and why?

Having talked to Scott this has been quite awhile in the making, how long were you both working on this series? Absolute Batman seems to be about stripping away Batman from what we know, is that something you also brought to Wonder Woman? Hayden, was there a certain cultural style you were going for with Wonder Woman’s design/clothing? Is the skeleton pegasus a staple of this series, or a one-off creature? 12 issue 6 include pegasus weapons What would main universe Wonder Woman think of Absolute Wonder Woman? Hayden I’ve always adored your layout design, how do you approach a page and know how you’ll frame it? There’s a lot of visual ideas at work in the first issue, from action to interesting interiors, do you prefer drawing one over the other? A superheroes villains are nearly as important as the hero themselves, what kind of work goes into unveiling familiar villains in a work like this?…

Body swapping movies, which is your favorite GO! The idea of jacking into another body is quite cool, is the concept a day dream you’ve had before? Vicarious feels quite lived in with a robust world, how much time goes into world building? Is there a science to doing just enough so the readers imagination can run wild? You worked with Eleonora Carlini on Go Go Power Rangers issues #13-20, have you guys been working on this series after collabing on that? I was curious about the star tattoo, it’s quite specific.

Creator Spotlight: Michael Walsh on Nullhunter, Frankenstein and stripping down to the essential 57:33

منذ 23 weeks57:33

57:33

Interview Michael Walsh (11 a.m. et) Nullhunter #1 (of 12) (Oct 23), Horizon Experiment Sacred Damned (Horizon Experiment Sacred Damned written by Sabir Pirzada) Oct 23, Universal Monsters Frankenstein #2 (Sep 25, 2024) Michael Walsh, thank you for joining us on the AIPT Comics podcast! You’re very busy at the moment, with Nullhunter, Sacred Damned, and Frankenstein all coming out at the same time, how do you find the time? Nullhunter is a bit different with you teaming up with Gustaffo Vargas, what’s the elevator pitch for this one? There are some incredible visuals in Nullhunter, from large-scale action to future tech. As an artist, how detailed are your scripts when you’re drawing the book vs working with a collaborator like Gustaffo? We know Nullhunter is inspired by the Labors of Hercules, but beyond Greek myth as a guide, do you have a world bible for this version of the future? In some ways Nullhunter reminds me of Dune with a big sweeping government in space, what were some of its inspirations? In Nullhunter, you have a way of stripping exposition to its bare essentials. What’s that process like? The Silver Coin and The Sacred Damned have some gnarly monsters in them. Do you ever find yourself pulling out an old sketchbook and dusting off a design when the right script comes along? We had Pornsak Pichetshote on the show a little while back to tell us about the Horizon Experiment, and we love the concept. How’d you come aboard? Switching gears to Frankenstein: What is it about Universal’s Frankenstein that has made this particular incarnation so enduring? With Frankenstein, you take a unique approach from a child’s perspective, was this always in your pitch, or did it come up organically? Fanboy question incoming: Can we expect more Silver Coin in our future? Rapid Fire Question Round: Best sandwich? What's one thing you own that you really should throw out? Apples or oranges? What was your first comic? Have you ever asked someone for their autograph? When do you think your art style came into its own? What do you think happens when we die? Favorite action movie? Favorite smell? Least favorite smell? Favorite superhero? Most used app on your phone? If you could have dinner with any three characters you’ve created before, who would they be and why? You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life: what is it? A genre you want to make more comics in? Describe the rest of your life in 5 words?…

To start, man has there been a lot of media of late that you’re tapped into, like the new Alien movie and the new Terminator anime, have you caught up on all these properties? The concept behind your series is something I've always pondered but you’re actually doing: Terminators are dispatched across the globe and throughout time to target current resistance fighters, was this an idea you cooked up for awhile? You’re working with Luke Sparrow, what makes him a good fit for the series? Collin Kregor We just had Hannah Rose May on to talk The exorcism at 1600 penn, and she had so many nice things to say about ya! Would you ever want to collab with her again and if so, what sort of book? Terminator Thundercats crossover when? Old Dog is your creator-owned did it inspire the Mystique pitch? Moving to Mystique, how long have you been working on this one? Is there a pool of mutants you are told you can use, or is it more of a “check with Tom Brevoort” sort of thing?
