Creators on the Couch – GSCF Minisode

WE’RE BACK! (Just about…) Anthony recently attended the Garden State Comic Fest, and had some time to chat very briefly with some iconic creators: Louise & Walt Simonson, and Jim Starlin! Plus a little bit about the future of the show and how soon you can expect us back full-time!

Walter Simonson:

  • Beta Ray Bill: What drives him to sacrifice so much for his people?
  • Malekith: What makes a compelling villain? 

Louise Simonson:

  • Cable: How much input did you have in his creation? Very convoluted backstory due to time travel & editorial input
  • Death of Superman & Steel
  • Apocalypse: 
  • Ghosting: What was process in choosing characters, did you pick them out of a hat, were they assigned to you? Why Hobgoblin & Steel?
  • How to write a complete story in so few pages?

Jim Starlin:

  • Death is such an integral part of so many stories you’ve written, what is it about Death that compels you to write it so often, and have your stories helped you process your own feelings about it? 
  • Thanos & Infinity stories
  • Did you expect the infinity gauntlet to become such an iconic piece of Marvel lore 30 years later? 
  • Death of Captain Marvel
  • Was there pushback to permanently kill off Mar-Vell from editorial? 
  • Who did you draw upon for the different characters reacting to the news?
