The 5 questions I ask in this episode:

  1. What inspired you to get into comics as a teenager and why do you continue to work in the industry?
  2. While you’ve worked on many characters over your career, you helped introduce Miles Morales to the world in Ultimate Fallout #4. What went into the creation of the character, why do you think he resonates and what is his future?
  3. Why did you decide to create the weekly comic Fortune & Glory: The Music and how does it relate to your previous work?
  4. What is the process of partnering with illustrators to bringing characters to life and how do you know when to include which character in which medium like comics, video games, TV, and film?
  5. What is your best piece of career advice?
