Interview: Ryan North - Fantastic Four (#6 out April 12)  - Danger and Other Unknown Risks (April 4, 2023)

  1. Thanks for being on the show!
  2. You really get the feeling that these characters love each other. What’s the secret to maintaining FF’s wholesome family dynamic and keeping it fresh?
  3. What led to the idea of starting the group off split up? Was there any discussion of which order to feature their done-in-one tales, or was it immediate in which order to do it?
  4. Which FF member do you identify with the most and why? 
  5. You’ve really expanded the way I look at Reed’s powers with issue 5! Might we expect more out of the box applications of everyone’s abilities going forward?
  6. The sci-fi elements in the series so far are incredible and big. How much research do you put into those explainable extraordinary science plots?
  7. Dr. Doom comes up in FF #700, has it all been leading to this? 
  8. For the fan out there who wants to dig into FF back issues, do you have a favorite story arc or run?
  9. Shifting gears to Danger and Other Unknown Risks, how long have you and Erica Henderson been working on this project?
  10. Having read it, the structure is so fun. We love magic rules! Do you have a map somewhere with all the realms and their rules, or do you see where the story takes you while scripting?
  11. You’re kicking off on Extreme Venomverse with a story about (Comics superstars Ryan North and Paulo Siqueira put a fresh and exciting spin on a story you may be familiar with…starring Eddie Brock as…SPIDER-MAN?!) Eddie Brock, is this a tale you’ve been sitting on for some time?
  12. I was a huge fan of your Adventure Time comics, and I loved the comedy from the narrator in the footnote text. Are you ever inclined to reuse that at Marvel or in a future project?
  13. Do you have any other projects you’d like to talk about?
