Interview: Nights - Wyatt Kennedy and Luigi Formisano - Nights #13 out Feb 26 (NEW STORY ARC - PERFECT JUMPING-ON POINT FOR NEW READERS)

1. Nights #13 is out February 27th, and while the solicit says it’s a “perfect jumping on point” for the listeners, can you catch them up to speed if they’re just learning about Nights?
2. Something that I’ve loved about Nights is how the most insane surprised occur many times in an issue, is there an art to plotting a single issue like you do?
3.  As we turn the page onto season 2, looking back at the first 12 issues, is there anything you would tweak or do differently?
4. Luigi, you’ve worked with Wyatt long enough to have plenty of banter about "bizarre demands." Can you describe a moment where Wyatt’s vision challenged or inspired you to take the art in an unexpected direction?
5. The series mixes playful moments with genuine horror. For both of you, what’s your approach to balancing these tones, and are there horror or non-horror works that directly influenced this?
6. I gotta ask, nudity in this title is a curious one. Sometimes we see things, sometimes genitals are covered up, what gives?!
7. The series takes place across both mundane and fantastical locations—Estonia’s cold landscapes and Las Vegas’s vibrant excess are especially highlighted in Nights #13. What’s the significance of setting in this arc, and how did you choose those locations?
8. If Vince, Gray, Tsukumari, and the rest of the crew formed a rock band, what would their band name be, and what kind of music would they play?
