The7Deadly Questions
Right now one of the 2 Big publishers come to you and wants to buy out your newly Kickstarter Championed THE FEW AND THE CURSED. While reading the contract you realize they are buying it to put it on the shelf because it might be better than one of their current titles and they don’t want the competition. Do you sign? (spoiler it’s a lot of Money$$$)
Nope, absolutely not. Even though a lot of money is nice, it’s not like I’m doing this for the money, I’m doing it because I have stories to tell and people to entertain. Besides, if it’s really so good they see it as competition, I will take it to the competition and make a lot of money somewhere else 😉
What Character would you like to buy ( if you had endless money) to use in your comics?
Batman, absolutely, my all-time favorite character. If not him, then Marvel’s Runaways!
Do you at times find super hero’s to be stupidly over powered and it makes no sense they can lose? Superman for example. Always losing to regular humans ie Lex.
Not really, I think that’s where the brilliance of a good writer can shine. How can you beat Superman?
Yes, he is all-powerful physically but there are many ways you can beat him because he is not omnipotent you know?
Do you have trouble making deadlines or do you not live by deadlines at all and when the work is perfect than its done?
I have a bit of trouble making deadlines but that’s just because I’m currently tackling too many projects at one. I have two one-shots and three series all happening at the same time, it gets demanding. When the work load was easier on me, I would meet the deadlines without any problem.
There is no such thing as perfect work, there is just good enough.
Would you let your creations such as the Newly Championed Kickstarter THE FEW AND THE CURSED be over merchandised such as other comic book movies are? ( Yes we at written Sins think The FEW AND THE CURSED will become a movie or TV show some day) ie Tooth Brush, combs, magazines that don’t at all deal with the story, cereal etc etc.
Yes, absolutely. Every place my character can be present and draw new crowds, I’m game. And like Stephen King said once, there is always the original work to go back to. So if I authorize The Few and Cursed to become a Broadway musical that doesn’t really hit the right chords, people can go back to the comics.
I’m all for exploring new interpretations and formats.
You are Given 1 favor from a rich Billionaire you made a fan through THE FEW AND THE CURSED comic. Because he is a busy man and he’s doesn’t believe in owing people you have to call it in now. What favor would you ask for?
An amazing honeymoon with my (future) wife. We are getting married in September and I would love to have a couple of weeks off with all expenses paid no matter where I chose to go, what to buy or where to stay. Bring on the luxurious spy life style! 😀
What current character could you make no longer suck through you taking them over?
I haven’t been too happy with DC titles lately and since I love Batman, I think I would love to take over that book although I don’t really think it sucks. Snyder is a terrific writer and I had a lot of fun with his run but that’s the one character I would totally geek out to write.
Somehow Felipe Cagno has Survived the Curse of The 7 Deadly Questions. No shock really he is now a KICKSTARTER CHAMPION. Well done Felipe Cagno now it’s time for you to shamelessly plug yourself and your work, but you only one paragraph. Use your font wisely:Because my Kickstarter just wrapped, I wanted to offer them a heartfelt thanks for an amazing campaign and I hope to see all of them come back for issue #2 along with new readers! You can find me on Twitter or Instagram or Facebook just looking for Felipe Cagno and I will be sure to keep you guys up to date on my new comics coming out later this year.
