Interview: Pornsak Pichetshote/The Horizon Experiment - The Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian #1 - FOC September 2nd; September 25, 2024

1. It’s always exciting to have you on Pornsak, but even more so when there’s something new going on in comics we haven’t seen before. Can you tell our listeners what the Horizon Experiment is all about?
2. We understand it started over the debate of Idris Elba as James Bond. Tell us a bit about that.
   - Do you feel that dream movie would still disappoint? Is it inherently impossible for an established IP to take those kind of risks?
3. Something interesting about this project is the notion that it’s “designed to act as pilots for follow-up books if sales merit.” Do you have a number in mind for a series to flourish from a one-shot, and if one of the one-shots does merit a series how will you let fans know?
4. Tell us about your collaboration process with co-editor Will Dennis.
5. Were there any pitches you got but they didn’t make the cut for this first five?
6. Tell us about working with the Dodsons and Jeff Powell on The Manchurian.
7. We’d be remiss not to ask about Absolute Power Task Force VII #4, with a focus on Batman super robot Failsafe! This series has a different creative team each issue, and you’re teaming with Claire Roe on this one, was DC actively accepting pitches for this or did it come about organically?
8. Anything else you’d like to plug today?
