Interview - Max Wood, debut creator of MAYBE TOMORROW - Out March 13 - Daniel Caval
- Max, thanks for being on the AIPT comics podcast. You’ve got Maybe Tomorrow #1 out March 13, tell us about the project, how long has it been in the works?
- There are some fascinating sci-fi elements in this first issue - we’re fans of the “crappy future” aesthetic here - is this a world you think we’ll live in someday, would you want to live in it?
- To get a sense of what readers are in for, what sort of sci-fi do you enjoy and what might have inspired this story?
- Tell us about how you linked with Daniel Caval on art. What’s your process together like?
- There’s a definite level of anxiety to the narrative, how important was it to get the reader’s anxiety up along with the characters?
- It’s always interesting seeing a character deal with anxiety in a book and thinking “well that’s not how I handle it?” Did you imbue your characters with any of your own rituals and coping mechanisms?
- As a first-time comics creator, can you walk us through what it took to get this book on the stands?
- I’m always curious about titles, was Maybe Tomorrow always the title to this work?
- If Maybe Tomorrow was a song, what would it be and why?
- Harmony hasono sportsman
- You also have a new album coming out! Tell us a little bit about that.
- What other comics are you enjoying right now?
