iamrmanIt’s the final battle, but not quite the final issue. Bear with me, there’s only one more issue to go after this.

Avengers #393
Oct. 23rd, 2024 01:04 pmiamrmanThe Crossing.
The release of the Iron Man: Age of Innocence Epic Collection has already been delayed twice. Now Amazon is saying it isn’t available in my country. That means I won’t be able to continue with The Crossing after Avengers #394. If anybody else is feeling brave (or foolhardy) enough, then feel free to take over posting the rest.

The Flash #5 - "Top Priority"
Mar. 1st, 2024 07:04 pmlaughing_tree
So I’ve got all of these huge conceptual mysteries to toy with, and I’ve got two or three really big answers that I’m gonna enjoy taking quite a long time to get to, and between now and then just a huge amount of beautiful, intimate human drama, and big, crazy, Silver Age-vibe action, and that’s the prescription. -- Si Spurrier

The Flash #4 - "The Gallery"
Jan. 26th, 2024 07:44 pmlaughing_tree
Wally is all things to all people. He's a wonderful superhero capable of doing anything, he's a loving husband, he's a devoted father, he's got all these hats, and he's constantly racing between these different lives. He's always smiling, never complaining, constantly doing it all, and making everybody happy. Those scenes at the end of Jeremy's run... That's a lovely way to sign off. As a parent of small children with way too many hats on my head at all times, it is my thesis that that's something you cannot sustain for long without starting to feel the pressure, without the smile starting to crack, without all the stress and expectation starting to weigh down on your shoulders and starting to drag you down. -- Si Spurrier

The Flash #3 - "Angles"
Jan. 1st, 2024 08:56 amlaughing_tree
It’s the sort of IP, for a host of reasons that I could bore you with, like pub chat territory, but it’s the sort of IP where it doesn’t feel awkward to be telling very intimate human stories in the same breath as gorillas invading Central City, or just really batshit sci-fi stuff. As long as you pack it with clever ideas, and as long as the underlying theme speaks to humanity and heart and doing the best you can, and it doesn’t matter how fast you can run, you also have to be a good person – these are all sort of things that The Flash is so very good at. So it’s always been a sort of paperclip at the back of my head that if ever I got the chance, those are the sorts of things that I could throw at it. -- Si Spurrier

The Flash #2 - "Stepping Out"
Nov. 23rd, 2023 06:29 pmlaughing_tree
It would've just felt disingenuous and disrespectful to go, "No, this isn't a superhero comic anymore! It's not about a family who loves each other. It's about spooky horror stuff!" I would've hated that, and I think the fans would've quite rightfully turned their noses up at it. Instead, we set ourselves the challenge of doing both... -- Si Spurrier

The Flash #1-2 - "Strange Attractor"
Oct. 25th, 2023 12:25 amlaughing_tree
Reading this was electric. It had the kind of jolt for me as reading the first Alan Moore Swamp Thing and I do not say this lightly. -- Gail Simone
If you remember what happened with Immortal Hulk? The magic is happening again. -- Paul Cornell
The Anatomy Lesson you've been waiting for; reverent of what came before, yet unafraid to beat a bold new path. -- Alex Paknadel
It's both 1) a take on Flash comics that's never been done in over 80 years (cosmic horror) and 2) very true to what's come before, the characters and the "feel" of what makes a Flash comic. How does this happen? Magic, I guess? -- Christos Gage
It's not really something I've ever been given the opportunity to do before, you know? I think I'm in a lot of editors' Rolodex as the cerebral Vertigo guy and they sort of come to me when they want a story about... Nightcrawler inventing a religion or whatever it may be. So to get the opportunity to do some good old superheroing [instead] is quite exciting. -- Si Spurrier

Not All Robots #3

"And I think also from observing how late-stage capitalism, especially how the profits are generally made, not from creating new products and improving things, but by controlling the costs, by keeping the amount you pay the workers down by doing things more cheaply and in creating in its wake a greater human cost. That's kind of what this [story] is, it's about the human cost and ultimately the robot cost to innovation.
So that's something that definitely was on my mind as I was writing about how the gig economy has sort of destroyed the very people it was supposed to make life easier for. Because ultimately it's just another way — as most innovations have done over the last 20 years — of controlling costs; of keeping your company from having to pay anybody any money. That's really what the story of American commerce has been since the 1980s. It was just like, "Well, how can we not pay any retirement benefits to that person? How can we get away with getting an intern to work for free?" And a lot of that sort of was baked into the cake of Not All Robots. Anybody who makes their living as a freelancer or in the gig economy will probably see a lot of themselves in this comic."

Not All Robots #2
Jan. 20th, 2022 11:02 amhistory79
PREVIEWSWORLD: What’s with our collective fascination with killer robots? You’re clearly not alone in your interest in them.
MARK RUSSELL: I think it’s because this is the future we all secretly suspect is waiting for us. Artificial intelligence and the singularity seem like a fait accompli at this point and if we design it to be anything like us, it will probably behave dismissively toward any form of life it regards to be lower on the food chain. Maybe this is why we don’t put any effort into solving the actual problems the human race faces. We feel like we’re at the end so we’ve collectively decided to take a senior skip day.
