“Marvel Knights” interview with Jimmy Palmiotti!
This week’s interview is a CBH Creannotators/My Marvelous Year crossover, as I’m joined by comics pro Jimmy Palmiotti to talk about his role co-creating Marvel Knights. We discuss the early days of defining Marvel Knights, saving Marvel Comics, getting creative credit for the MCU, and in the second half of the interview, a whole lot of Harley Quinn!
On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!
