Capes On the Couch - Where Comics Get Counseling

About

We bring back one of the top current comic book writers, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, for the FOURTH time. We had so much fun chatting we went well past the originally scheduled end time. Wanna find out why he stuck around? Listen now to find out!

    Intro

      Welcome back

    Background

    How have you been since last time?

    Superman Omnibus

      Vol. 1 covers up to the end of Warworld

      When is Vol. 2 coming out?

    Adventures of Superman: Book of El

      What inspired this story? Was this born of unused stuff from Warworld, or was this a conversation you had with DC about wanting to follow up?

      Kryl-Ux: Operating from a place of such unfathomable grief - where did you do the research into that mindset?

    Hellhunters

      I saw somewhere you said this was the first time you really went to Marvel and said this was a story you needed to tell - what was it about Sal Romero that compelled you to continue the tale?

    Batman & Robin

      Memento - big Nolan fan?

      How much research went into creating part of Batman’s past so that it worked in the present?

      Damian’s trauma over Emma’s injury is very realistic, given all that he’s gone through - I appreciate the reminder that he’s still a child

      Bruce refuses to accept that there could be something inhuman about Memento - arbitrary skepticism like crazy

    Incredible Hulk/Infernal Hulk

      How do you coordinate on all the various deities with Marvel to keep consistency both internally & externally?

      Issue #27 - damn you for making me cry reading a HULK book

      Infernal Hulk - next evolution of the storyline - how far in advance do you have things mapped out?

    Ending

      What is next?
