Comic Book Herald

This week on Creannotators, I’m talking about Wingbearer and Monstress with creator Marjorie Liu. We chat about the inspiration behind her upcoming all ages graphic novel, her use of themes and the variations of those themes in her work, her run on Astonishing X-Men and comic shops in Appleton, Wisconsin.

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!

“Pax Romana’ takes place in a future when Islam has overrun Western Europe and monotheism is on the wane in the East and the West,” Jonathan Hickman told CBR News. “There’s a breakthrough. They discover time travel in a scientific lab that’s secretly funded by the Vatican. The pope sends a private army back in time to conquer the world and maintain the dominance of Catholicism.”
