Favorite Comic: Young me would have said X-Men, but today I dig a lot of things – super hard to name just one. Saga is good, so is Invincible, we really dig just about anything from Rick Remender.
If you could have a 1 power: Infinite time to get more work done
The7Deadly Questions Are looking to Cause a War of Roses: Pt 1 Comfort Love;
Being part of a Creative couple do you both have the same vision of the future for your creations or are there 2 visions?
Oh for sure. We work it all out before hand and compromise until we’re both on the same page. We may have ideas that differ initially on any given character or plot point, but the goal is always to put ego aside and go the best thing for the story. No exceptions.
Is there ever a competitiveness while creating?
No, because that stuff just gets in the way. We are a team, not individuals trying to outdo each other. Although I will say that we as a team do try and do our best in all things we do. So when we outdo others I do feel a certain sense of pride and accomplishment.
How do you settle disagreements in creating or marketing?
Best idea wins. We weigh pros and cons, argue, and sometimes bring other creators into the process if it’s a really big story point and we just can’t come to consensus about. Same for marketing – best idea wins. Although that’s always a tougher nut to crack because you never know what exactly will ultimately work. You just have to watch the market the best you can, make some thoughtfully educated guesses, and hope it all plays out in your favor.
What is the one think you wish your Partner in Creation would stop doing or do better?
Adam has a dedication to detail that sometimes slows us down more than it helps. It’s a fine line between what is truly adds to the work and what is superfluous – but I know he’s finding it, bit by bit, issue by issue. And with time it will be nothing more than a strength!
Where do you ultimately want to see done with your I.P? Maybe a movie, possible cartoon or movie maybe a toy line?
Rainbow in the Dark is a movie trilogy and The Uniques is a long form TV series. Both would be great in live action or animation. But, The Uniques it would be awesome to do an animated series for the current adult audience that grew up with excellent American cartoons and anime. Something that is expressly made for a 16+ crowd that LOVES animation.
What character would you want to join your created new world for a 3 issue arch and why?
Invincible maybe? Something where shows up or an issue of The Uniques and for him its interdimensional travel while it’s just a fever dream for Singe (one of the characters of The Uniques) or something? Not sure, all our worlds are purposefully enclosed in order to tell the tightest and most engaging story possible. So while it would be fun to do a team-up, it’s would possibly break the world…
Who is the better creator and why?
We may have differing strengths, but we are total equals. We are two, yet we are one. One’s strengths makes up for the others weakness, and vice versa.
