JUDGING BY THE COVER JR.
Segment: Cullen Bunn Interview - Shadowman #1 - April 28th Jon Davis-Hunt
- Congratz on Shadowman, I understand speaking to Dennis Hopeless (twice now on this podcast!) Shadowman has been in the works for some time?
- At this point it’s safe to say you’re a horror maestro, with Harrow County as just one of your works that’s a shoe in for classic, you have Eden at AfterShock coming in May, how has writing great horror for so long shaped your vision of Shadowman?
- How do you approach staying creative while quarantined? Do you have a set routine?
- When you approach a comics script, what are some goals you try to achieve by book's end?
- Jon-Davis Hunt has been killing it for years, what made him right for this project?
- Has there been any panels or pages Hunt’s done that topped anything you could imagine?
- What is something a Shadowman comic MUST DO to be a Shadowman comic?
- It’s still early yet, but Dennis Hopeless pointed out an event tying into X-O Manowar was in the cards, is that still a possibility?
- Your Punk Mambo miniseries was a blast - any chance we’ll be seeing her turn up in the near future?
- You've been making comics for many years, congratz on that, if this were a 100 meter dash, where are you now, what were your record-beating moments (still on the metaphor), and what goals do you see yourself at 75, 95, and 100 meters?
- Are there any other books you’d like to discuss today?
