This week, we’re joined by Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine / X-Men: Forever) as we discuss his comics origins, the relationship between comics and music, his upcoming Image Comics series The Power Fantasy, and more!
IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, the Supple Boiz, and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!
Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People.
Enjoy!
This is a show we’ve wanted to do for a very long time. Kieron is a brilliant writer that I have looked up to my whole career, but he is also a kind person who I am lucky to consider a pal. So when I found out he had a new series coming out, it seemed like the perfect time to pull his brain apart and see how it works.
We taped this interview a little while ago, so his new series had not been announced yet. Subsequently we only refer to it using little codenames, all very clandestine. But now the book is announced, and it’s going to be amazing, so I can use it’s real name and tell you to call your local shop and order THE POWER FANTASY #1 right now. You’ll love it.
And I’d be lying here if I didn’t admit that I stole a lot of how I think about and do this newsletter from Kieron’s newsletter. So if you enjoy what I do, you should probably sign up for his and see what it would be like if it was done well.
