• Jason Aaron, thank you for being on the AIPT Comics podcast! Once upon a time at the end of the world #1 is out November 23rd in comic shops, how long has this series been in the making?
• How important to this story is the reason why there’s a post-apocalyptic world?
• This is a love story, which isn’t new for you certainly, but how does the post-apocalyptic setting change your approach to the main character’s relationship?
• I really liked how you use captions in the first issue to establish the fact that small choices turn out to change entire lives, what inspired you to use this approach?
• The dynamic between Mezzy and Maceo is unique from the very start, can you tell us a bit about them both and how you fleshed them out with Alexandre Tefenkgi?
• You’ve said in press materials this is like Wes Anderson had directed ‘Road Warrior,’ what is your favorite Wes Anderson film and which is your favorite Mad Max film?
• Are there any artists you’ve yet to work with you hope to work with in the future?
• I was a huge fan of your work on The Goddamned, have you said all you’ve needed to say for the series?
• As a longtime fan of your Thor run, and the incredible work you’ve done with Jane Foster, I must ask, with some time since its release how did you like Thor Love and Thunder?

Interview: Curt Pires - It’s Only Teenage Wasteland - December 07, 2022  - FOC November 14

• This is an unconventional dystopian story, I’d hate to ask you for the pitch so I’ll take a stab at it, Ferris Bueller meets Warriors meets Max Max, accurate?
• Was breaking the fourth wall always in the cards or did it come organically while you broke story?
• You’re using an unconventional scene direction/detail format with big black boxes with white text, why did this work for the book?
• What made now the right time for this series!
• There’s a character named Fogelman, a person who became a friend due to those being cruel to him, did you have a Fogelman in your life in high school?
• lorn Michael’s said in a recent interview, saying the 4 years you're in high school are the longest years of your life. You have no money, no car, and just staying up late with friends was a really exciting thing. And thus, folks say the best cast is the years they were in high school…skipping the last bit, is there truth to that?
• Part of the magic of teenage wasteland is the group dynamic, how did you come to this specific group?
• The art by Jacoby Salcedo is impressive with a detail with character acting that’s tops, what has it been like working with him?
• Something I really like with this series is the pace, and it’s never holding back details but goes for it, are you ever pondering “this could work even better as a slow burn?”
• The title reminds me of The Who, was that track on repeat while writing this?
• The sister is specifically not yet 18, given the title is that important?

• What was the original pitch for Star Trek, and how did the story change once you got started?
• This is a unique project as it’s a jumping on point with a new adventure, yet draws on elements from multiple series, how do you walk that line and keep folks satisfied on both sides?
• Given the cast of this series an outside might ask, why would the Federation put so many top starfleet brass on one mission?
• It’s fitting Sisco and Picard meet, since Picard was in the deep space 9 pilot, was this on purpose mirroring that series with this one?
• You teased some card playing with data, might we get a juicy card game some point?
• With IDW introducing new Star Trek series, and I know it’s insanely early to ask, but might a crossover be in the cards someday?
• Is the creature at the end a similar Crystalline Entity we’ve seen before?
• With such a large cast, who might be the under the radar character to keep eyes on?
• Will Nomad get to share any panel time with Steve and Sharon and reunite with his family?
• Are there any plots for Sharon in the works? Either regarding her relationship with Steve during all this or being involved in the reveals about Peggy?

This week, Gerry Duggan joins the AIPT Comics podcast to discuss his new Kickstarter Timing/Luck! We dig into his passion for photography, the inspirations of the book, and how it differs from writing. You can back Timing/Luck here (just 11 days left to back it!). 

We also discuss his highly anticipated series The Invincible Iron Man, and what to expect from his upcoming comedy one-shot Halloween Party with Brian Posehn and Scott Koblish. We also run through the Colbert Questionnaire (revealing the full spectrum of his human experience)! 

Here's a rundown of the questions Gerry answers:

• As of the air time of this interview, Timing/Luck has 11 days left to back on Kickstarter, featuring scenes in Hollywood, from behind the scenes in comics, and street photography, how many years of work does this book span?
• Is there different itch photography scratches for you outside of writing comics?
• There’s something solitary about writing, and maybe even as a photographer as you’re behind the lens so to speak, what motivates you to put yourself out there in your photography and your comics writing?
• You also got Halloween Party coming out October 12, 2022, with Brian Posehn and Scott Koblish, why must Scotch McTiernan’s story continue in this adventure after your 4:20 special?!
• I’d be remiss not to ask about you kicking off Invincible Iron Man with Juan Frigeri in December, how long has this project been in the works?
• Are there any story arcs fans should pick up to prepare for your run?
• When writing comedy, big team books like X-Men, or solo heroes like Iron Man, do you have any methods to getting into the right mindset, be it a mood board of imager, or music?

[caption id="attachment_451509" align="aligncenter" width="680"]

 The cover to Timing/Luck.[/caption]

• It’s tantalizing to know Timing/Luck peers behind the curtain showing comics creators, actors, and regular people behind the curtain, so to speak, so I was wondering if we could run through the Colbert Quesionairre so that you can be known, to the listeners, would that be okay?

• Nathan: Carnage #6 (Kyle Hotz)

Interview Ryan Stegman Vanish #1 out September 21, writing/drawing Miracleman story in Miracleman #0

• Thanks for being on the AIPT Comics podcast, for folks looking at getting into Vanish, can you give us the elevator pitch?
• With your podcast Stegman and Friends, your Substack KLC, you’ve created an empire of sorts! With over a year into both, what has been the biggest surprise, and is there anything you’d have done differently at the start?
• Vanish was seen by fans as it was being made, was there any fear you might be “giving away” too much before Vanish comes out next week?
• Vanish is obviously hugely influenced by 90s comics, what were some of your favorites?
• Do you have a favorite character design in Vanish (and if he says the main character, who else)?
• You mentioned spin-offs in the AIPT written interview, when you say that do you mean spin offs for you and Donny to explore, or are we talking tie-in series from other creators at some point?
• Violence gets pretty brutal in the first issue, how do you balance between going too far or not enough?
• With Todd McFarlane producing toys seemingly daily…Vanish action figures when?
• You’ve done an exceptional job crafting great covers for Marvel, are you under a contract where you produce a certain number of covers? How does that work with your indie work with Vanish?
• I was a huge fan of your work on Superior Spider-Man, the omnibus was just announced, do you have any fond memories or stories working with Dan Slott on that series?
• I’m so excited for your Miracleman story in Miracleman #0, can you talk a little about what that character means to you?
• Do you have other projects you’d like to talk about today?
