The one and only ROBERT KIRKMAN is back and is about to launch a brand-new superhero universe within the pages of his new Image Comics ongoing series, TERMINAL.
On this episode we start with INVINCIBLE Season 4 and what it’s like watching fan reactions while already deep into production on future seasons. Kirkman talks about expanding material from the comics for animation, and how characters unexpectedly blowing up with audiences (like Machine Head - now in the pages of CAPES) can lead to fun new moments.
Then we dive deep into TERMINAL, Kirkman’s new superhero universe with JOE CASEY, ANDY KUBERT, DAVID FINCH, ARTHUR ADAMS, DAVE MCCAIG & RUS WOOTON. Kirkman breaks down building a giant interconnected cast and why the book feels inspired by the energy of 90s X-Men comics. TERMINAL is a story that is huge in scope. It's messy. It's unpredictable. It has a giant eyeball in the sky. But best of all? It's some of your favorite creators getting the chance to let loose and tell a story that can only be done in comics.
Its another insightful episode from one of the best to be doing it. Enjoy.
