We get it; it can be daunting talking to some of the greatest creators in the comic book industry. That’s why, at C2E2 2024, Popverse video producer Ashley Victoria Robinson talked to them for you for a segment called Artist’s Alley Asks, where six of the leading talents in the biz answered five questions so searching that it was like getting a glimpse inside their very souls.
What are the questions? They’re everything you need to know about any creator tabling at a major comic book convention, is the answer. Specifically:
- What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re in Chicago?
- Which are you more excited for - the new Fantastic Four movie, or the new Superman movie?
- What are the must-have things you bring to every convention?
- Tell me something you’re NOT working on, but would drop everything for, for the right price?
- If you had an arch-nemesis, who or what would it be?
If there’s one thing we love about comics creators, it’s when they understand the task. One man who unerringly understands the task is artist Cully Hamner, who has a body of work that stretches from The Flash, Action Comics, and Detective Comics to The Question and co-creating the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle with Keith Giffen and John Rogers. And if you think he didn’t understand the task in answering these questions, just look at the video above and enjoy his response to that last one. I’m telling you: he gets it.
Keep your eyes peeled for more videos featuring Gene Ha, Jarrett Melendez, Rachael Stott, Soo Lee, and Tim Seeley, each recorded at C2E2 2024.
