Were you a fan of musicals before turn of the dark, and then after?Fortune and Glory is a book I read and cherished when I went to college for screenwriting in the early 2000s. It was not only entertaining, but was enlightening about Hollywood and that industry. How much can fans expect from you as far as helpful tips for writing and your process?Having had a chance to read some of the sequel, I have to say your voice as yourself is incredibly entertaining. Do you find talking as yourself as an easy thing to do in a comics format, maybe that's what you were already doing with Spider-Man and Superman?You're releasing Fortune and Glory: The Musical over your substack, with a print edition from Dark Horse in the future, about how many months will you be releasing chapters?You drew Fortune and Glory, what made Bill Walko the right choice to draw the sequel?How has it been working with Daniel Chabon who is editing the sequel?When writing about your own life, how tempted are you to punch up the moments and make them bigger than they might have been?Hollywood, broadway, what will the third book be about? What's left!?

Do you typically have lengthy story meetings with the creative team?Fetch is the latest offering from Storm Kids, which is aimed at younger readers.

InterviewTo start, does Clayface hold a special place in your heart?When asked to do a One Bad Day story, what was the original pitch, was Clayface offered or did you suggest it?This one-shot is very closely alligned with Hollywood and casting, as it should be since Clayface is an actor by trade, did either of you ever pursue acting, or pitch in Hollywood?Clayface was humanized greatly by James Tynion, in other cases he's more monsterous and okay with killing, where does this version of Clayface lie on the spectrum of evilness?The "One Bad Day" line of one-shots harkens back to The Killing Joke, was there added pressure in knowing that connection and then delivering on a definitive Clayface story?What inspired you to use bits of traditional screenwriting pages mixed in with the visual narrative?

When it comes to your Detective Comics run so far, an interviewer with less skill than I might say Gotham is a character, one that feels unique in that it’s noir, but also ornate, how important was it for your approach to get Gotham right?Visually Detective Comics is dark, dank, grungy, what makes Rafael Albuquerque and Ivan Reis the perfect fit for the vision of the book?A lot of the dialogue and captioning has a poetic nature to it, do you write poetry in your free time?Ram, I’m curious about the song in the club in Detective #1063. Is that a real tune, or something written just for Harvey?Themes of sanity are present in Detective Comics, like Two-Face facing his own duality, why do you think these themes resonate with audiences?Two-Face consistently tells Harvey that he’s the only one looking out for him, that he cares about him. Is there some truth there, or is this the most insular abusive relationship ever?There are so many tools at your disposal when crafting a comic, from letters, to formatting of a page, which we see you do a lot of in Detective Comics #1068. As someone with a lot of impressive comics under your belt, do you ever find yourself trying to disassemble how a comic story is told and then reassemble it?For those that read only Carnage or only read Detective Comics, is there a connective tissue of themes or your approach that could be said to swing their attention to the book they aren’t reading?You’re always working on so many titles at once--50 issues written in 2022--can you give us any hints or details on what your 2023 will look like?
