How do you view the role of levity in darker narratives, and was that hard to weave into the story?****Green Arrow has taken on a grounded, street‑level tone, focusing on character interactions and big‑pharma themes. How did you adapt Ollie’s voice and moral compass to fit that setting while keeping iconic elements intact?**Between writing for Green Arrow, scripting Ultimate Wolverine, and launching News From The Fallout, you’re balancing very different tones and genres. How do you switch creative gears between mainstream superhero work and experimental creator-owned stories?Ultimate Wolverine launched early this year—what fresh angles or emotional truths are you exploring compared to past Wolverine iterations?Your work this year traverses themes of isolation (Fallout), social justice (Green Arrow), and visceral heroism (Wolverine). How are you threading your personal storytelling voice through these varied genres and publishers?Looking back at your 2025 slate so far—what’s been the biggest creative challenge, and which project pushed you most as a writer?Between Otis shooing raccoons in News From The Fallout and Green Arrow’s trick arrows, it seems like you have a knack for writing characters who could survive in the weirdest camping trip imaginable. So: if you had to survive a weekend in the desert with Wolverine, Green Arrow, and Otis—who’s cooking, who’s in charge of the firewood, and who’s most likely to accidentally summon a threat to the camp?

In Predator Kills the Marvel Universe, you’ve teased a meditative tone as much as a brutal one. Can you talk about how you approached giving emotional weight to what could easily be a pure spectacle series?2. We know Frank Castle is at a low point in Punisher: Red Band, but you’ve also said it’s a story about who Frank becomes when he has nothing left. What’s the most surprising aspect of Frank you think readers will discover in this series?3. We here at AIPT have covered the use of the Punisher symbol via 3rd party swag outside of Disney, we even saw its use in the recent Daredevil show, what’s your take on the Punisher logo and its use?4. With both Red Band and Predator Kills launching this year, you’re leaning into stories with serious ultraviolence. As a writer, how do you decide when violence is meaningful versus when it's gratuitous?5. You mentioned in the Predator Kills the Marvel Universe press release that some heroes are more “killable” than others. Without giving anything away, was there a particular Marvel character that was the hardest to write a death for—either logistically or emotionally?6. You’ve done a lot of work balancing character legacy with reinvention—especially with Hellverine and now Red Hulk. How do you decide what to preserve and what to explode when you're writing these kinds of legacy figures?7. Spider-Man and Predator is a wild matchup. Can you tease what their conflict reveals about Peter Parker that we haven’t seen before?8. Both Red Hulk and Hellverine feel like "dark mirror" characters—but wildly different in tone and execution. Do you see thematic overlap between them? How do you avoid them becoming just monstrous versions of other heroes?9. You’re clearly building (or helping shape) a kind of hyper-violent sublabel within Marvel between Red Band, Predator crossovers, and these monstrous anti-heroes. Would you want to keep expanding this “Percy-verse”? And if so, who would you tap next?10. (Fun one): If Predator could take on one Marvel team in a cooking competition, who would it be—and what’s Predator’s signature dish?Short novel as a newspaper - subscribe - start November - post-apocalyptic “The End Times” Station 11 meets our townbadhandbooks.com

    1. Comics and Kicks is such a unique blend—what was the “origin story” behind launching this podcast, and how long had it been percolating?

    2. You’ve got deep roots in both hip-hop and geek culture—how do you see comic books and sneakers as forms of self-expression, and where do they overlap for you?

    3. The show dives into conversations with creators, collectors, and innovators—what voices are you most excited to spotlight that we might not hear from in typical mainstream media?

    4. What were the first comic book and first pair of kicks that made you feel something—like, “This is part of who I am”?

    5. You've done work with Marvel and even co-created a Native American superhero—how has your experience as a comics creator shaped the way you approach these podcast conversations?

    6. The sneaker world can be just as passionate and obsessive as the comic book scene. How do you navigate the hype, history, and authenticity in both spaces?

    Interview: Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan, covering their upcoming Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone #1, Blink and You’ll Miss It #1, and Bring on the Bad Guys: Green Goblin (July 02, 2025) - June 30th

    1. Let’s start with Bring on the Bad Guys: Green Goblin — Norman Osborn is such a rich, terrifying character. What part of his history were you most excited to dig into, and what makes your take on the Goblin stand out?
    2. Norman’s been a villain, a businessman, a politician, and sometimes even a twisted version of a hero. How do you approach writing a character who’s constantly shifting between personas?
      Your Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone series introduces a walled-off wasteland, kaiju lore, and the myth of a half-man, half-kaiju survivor. How did you approach building suspense and worldbuilding in this isolated, almost post-apocalyptic setting?
    3. Writing Godzilla means balancing spectacle with humanity. What’s your approach to telling grounded stories in the shadow of kaiju-level destruction?
    4. Now onto Blink and You’ll Miss It — the tone and premise feel so personal and unique. How did this story come together, and what inspired you to tell a love story with a sci-fi twist?
      There’s a big emotional core in Blink and You’ll Miss It, but also some wild time-manipulation ideas. How did you balance the heart with the high-concept hook?
    5. You’re juggling three very different projects — a Marvel villain origin, a giant monster epic, and a bittersweet romantic mini. How do you shift your mindset between such wildly different tones and genres?
    6. All three books deal with identity in some form — Norman’s fractured psyche, a couple navigating time, and characters caught between humanity and monsters. Is that a theme you’re consciously exploring across your work, or something that just naturally emerges?
    7. Fun one to wrap things up: If the Green Goblin got his own kaiju-sized glider and showed up in the Godzilla universe… how long would he last, and which monster would absolutely wreck him first?
