In today's episode, comic book writer and artist Andy Lanning reflects on his path into the industry, the creative influences that shaped him, and the long-running partnership with Dan Abnett that redefined Marvel’s cosmic universe through Annihilation, Nova, and Guardians of the Galaxy. He discusses the surprising longevity of their cosmic stories, his personal connections to characters like Star-Lord and Nova, and the unique creative energy behind projects such as Resurrection Man and Legion Lost. Lanning also shares insights from working across Marvel and DC, how his artistic background informs his writing, the changing landscape for creators today, and what current projects he's involved in.
