In Part Two of our conversation with Cesar Baez, we discuss the joys and collaborative process of comic book creation, experiences of how our efforts and visualizations come to life through the artists' interpretations, often surpassing expectations, the evolution of iconic characters like Batman and Superman, and the impact of design on storytelling. We also bask in the supportive nature of the comic book industry, contrasting it with the more cutthroat film industry and talk about the cross-section between wrestling and comics, emphasizing the narrative and character development elements that both mediums share.
