Interview: Everything Dead & Dying #1 out September 3, 2025 - Jacob Phillips, Tate Brombal

1. This is your first collaboration together—what drew you both to Everything Dead & Dying, and what made now the right time to tell this story?
2. Jacob, you’ve built a reputation for capturing grit, loneliness, and eerie atmosphere in books like That Texas Blood and Newburn. What visual tone were you aiming for with Everything Dead & Dying?
3. The book has been described as The Last of Us meets Yellowstone. How did you strike a balance between horror, western, and emotional drama without tipping too far into genre cliché?
4. How did you both approach the undead in this world? Are they metaphors, monsters, or something else entirely?
5. The series clearly explores themes of love, loss, and survival. Was there a particular moment or relationship in the book that was especially personal or meaningful for either of you to write or draw?
6. Tate, this marks your Image Comics debut. What freedoms—or challenges—did working at Image bring compared to your previous work in the DC and BOOM! Worlds?
7. You’re working with an amazing lineup of variant artists, including Sean Phillips and Joshua Hixson. How involved were you in curating that roster, and what do those covers add to the tone of the series?
8. With just five issues to tell the story, how are you approaching pacing and world-building to ensure it still hits with emotional and thematic weight?
9. If you had to live with one undead pop culture character as your roommate—zombie, vampire, ghost, whatever—who would it be and why? Bonus points if you argue over the dishes.
