Issue #2 out 3/13/2024
- Declan Shalvey and Drew Moss, thanks for joining us on the AIPT Comics podcast! To start, the reception has been great for Thundercats, were you guys taken aback?
- Tell us about your personal histories with this franchise!
- How do you approach reworking or redesigning a classic character? (Love Tigra’s mustache!)
- The first issue acts as a bit of a remix of the original pilot, but the ending takes a big swing. Now you’re introducing new characters! How did you decide on this approach?
- What can fans look forward to with the introduction of Calica?
- Are there any classic series characters we shouldn’t expect to see?
- There seems to be a boom for 80s nostalgia with Thundercats, Transformers, etc, why do you think that is?
- Now that you’re a few months into writing and drawing the series, do you have a favorite character, maybe one that surprises you?
