Interview: Brian Michael Bendis - Fortune & Glory: The Musical 

  1. This might be kismet this interview is taking place today, because I'm literally 6 days from traveling to London to see the Back to the Future musical! Were you a fan of musicals before turn of the dark, and then after?
  2. Fortune and Glory is a book I read and cherished when I went to college for screenwriting in the early 2000s. It was not only entertaining, but was enlightening about Hollywood and that industry. How much can fans expect from you as far as helpful tips for writing and your process?
  3. Having had a chance to read some of the sequel, I have to say your voice as yourself is incredibly entertaining. Do you find talking as yourself as an easy thing to do in a comics format, maybe that's what you were already doing with Spider-Man and Superman?
  4. You're releasing Fortune and Glory: The Musical over your substack, with a print edition from Dark Horse in the future, about how many months will you be releasing chapters?
  5. You drew Fortune and Glory, what made Bill Walko the right choice to draw the sequel?
  6. How has it been working with Daniel Chabon who is editing the sequel?
  7. When writing about your own life, how tempted are you to punch up the moments and make them bigger than they might have been?
  8. Hollywood, broadway, what will the third book be about? What's left!?
