Interview: Jason Aaron - and Alexandre Tefenkgi’s ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #1

• Jason Aaron, thank you for being on the AIPT Comics podcast! Once upon a time at the end of the world #1 is out November 23rd in comic shops, how long has this series been in the making?
• How important to this story is the reason why there’s a post-apocalyptic world?
• This is a love story, which isn’t new for you certainly, but how does the post-apocalyptic setting change your approach to the main character’s relationship?
• I really liked how you use captions in the first issue to establish the fact that small choices turn out to change entire lives, what inspired you to use this approach?
• The dynamic between Mezzy and Maceo is unique from the very start, can you tell us a bit about them both and how you fleshed them out with Alexandre Tefenkgi?
• You’ve said in press materials this is like Wes Anderson had directed ‘Road Warrior,’ what is your favorite Wes Anderson film and which is your favorite Mad Max film?
• Are there any artists you’ve yet to work with you hope to work with in the future?
• I was a huge fan of your work on The Goddamned, have you said all you’ve needed to say for the series?
• As a longtime fan of your Thor run, and the incredible work you’ve done with Jane Foster, I must ask, with some time since its release how did you like Thor Love and Thunder?
• Last we spoke I believe you started getting into wrestling, still watching with your son?
