Interview: HANNAH ROSE MAY,

Exorcism at 1600 Penn, out Oct 16. Art by Vanesa R. Del Rey

1. Hannah Rose May, thank you for joining us on the AIPT comics podcast! To start, we’ve read the ashcan for Exorcism at 1600 Penn, and it’s primed for the election this year. How long have you been working on this project and was it always intended to launch near election time?
2. The Ashcan reveals a complex family in the white house, with Kelly Doyle taking on the presidency with her family joining her, was it always intended to be an ensemble story?
3. Vanesa Del Rey blew me away with Redlands, what made her the right fit for this project?
4. For fans of Rogues Gallery, what does Exorcism at 1600 Penn offer them?
5. I really love the title! Were there other options before getting nixed?
6. What kind of research did you do into politics?
7. When you write dialogue, do you find yourself speaking aloud to get a feel for each character?
8. This story feels like someone getting out some existential fears. Did you find writing this to be therapeutic at all?
9. Jock’s variant cover for this is so haunting. What kind of prompt or resources does a variant cover artist get before diving in?
10. Declan Shalvey co-wrote the story with you on Rogues Gallery, which got me thinking, now he’s super steeped into the Alien universe, soon the Terminator universe, any desire to jump in with him for a licensed book like that?
11. If Exorcism at 1600 Penn was a song, what would it be and why?
    1. Down with the Sickness - Disturbed
12. What comics are you reading now?
    1. Batgirl #359 (Detective Comics #359)
    2. Catwoman first appearance
    3. Banshee - first
    4. White Queen

Interview: Alex Paknadel talks Sentinels #1 (Oct 9th, 2024) - (art by Justin Mason) FOC Sept 9

1. Alex, thanks for being a guest on the AIPT comics podcast! To start, I’ve loved your X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity Comics, how does the process of writing this differ from conventional comics?
2. You’ve tackled Omega Red, Phoenix, Cyclops, and Polaris to name a few, with 11 issues under your belt how many more adventures can we expect?
3. Can fans expect to see any connections from your infinity comics to Sentinels?
4. Sentinels was a surprise for me, what’s the elevator pitch for the fans out there?
5. If fans wanted to, should they brush up on Sentinel lore or past stories?
6. Favorite cyborg soldier of all time?
7. We just had Hannah Rose May on and Justin Mason came up--they were actually working on Rogues Gallery before he got the Spider-Punk gig--what’s something about his art that really makes Sentinels shine?
8. Solicits tease a “new” enemy, how do you craft a villain that’s new with so many great ones in the X-Men line, did you go overboard with research, or did it just come to you?
9. If Sentinels’ first story arc was a song, what would it be and why?
   1. Paranoid Android Radiohead
10. The November 2023 solicits just came out and it appears Onslaught is on the cover, care to comment, SIR?!
11. You’re a busy guy, Alex, do you have any other projects you’d like to plug today?
