Joseph Illidge is a comic book jack-of-all-trades. Thoughout his career in comics he’s helped guide the ship for various properties as both writer and editor. He began his career at Milestone Media and he guided the path for the Batman stable of characters in the DC universe, serving as editor during the compelling Batman: No Man’s Land arc . Most recently he’s been writing for Todd McFarlane and Images Comics on Bloodletter , wrapping up a run on Milestone‘s The Shadow Cabinet, as well as performing editing duties for the first ever Swat Kats comic book. This year he founded Illuminous, a creative agency dedicated to helping comic book creatives foster their characters and intellectual property into stories that have longevity and cultural importance. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian talks with Joseph about what he can do for creators who want their ideas to have lasting impact, what he thinks it takes in order to get your characters to go the distance, and why he thinks that creating a comic book property with a Hollywood deal in mind isn’t the right way to approach making sequential art stories.
