Segment: Phillip Kennedy Johnson - Alien, Superman, Action Comics, Extreme Carnage Alpha, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection
- Phillip, congratulations on an incredible year of stories, but also last year’s stories too like Kill a Man and The Last God! Heading into a year of Alien, Symbiotes, and Superman, how do you approach the page with so many universes in mind?
- What do you think is the key to the lasting appeal of the Alien franchise? Why has it managed to intrigue audiences on the screen and the page for 4 decades?
- We know there is a Star Wars Story group that checks stories, is there an Alien Story group?
- On that same note, it was awesome seeing Bishop in the first issue of Alien. Were there any characters that you were told were off-limits?
- What is the collaboration process like with Salvador Larroca?
- Headlining Extreme Carnage Alpha, can you talk a little bit about this project, are you the ringleader so to speak?
- Do you have a favorite Symbiote?
- I’m not a betting man, but you must have pondered what an Alien vs. Symbiote story would look like. Or for that matter, a mega alien battle between Superman, Alien, and Carnage? Who do you have coming out on top?
- Are there any other projects you’d like to discuss or plug today?
