Segment: Interview: Taboo and B. Earl - Writers of Spirits of Vengeance and Werewolf by Night
- Ben Earl, Taboo, thank you for joining the AIPT comics podcast to talk about your comics work! Spirits of Vengeance: Spirit Rider #1 is an extra-sized issue now out in shops, what made this the right project to follow Werewolf by Night?
- Did your collaboration process change at all when working on Spirits of Vengeance?
- Spirits of Vengeance has Paul Davidson on art, and also Jeffrey Veregge, how did this duo join you on the project?
- What was it like working with them on this project?
- Taboo, how does crafting a comic book story compare to crafting your music?
- A really fun thing about Kushala is that she’s sort of a woman out of time. She’s still adjusting to the modern-day, but she also is embracing it in some ways (karaoke and open mics). What are the challenges to approaching a character who is still trying to figure out her place in the world, who’s just a bit out of step?
- Are there any Marvel characters that are on your bucket list to write next?
- What comics are you reading right now?
