SEGMENT: Zac Thompson and Lonnie Nadler Undone by Blood
- Can you tell us a little about the world of Undone by Blood and the stories or other media that inspired it? Zac, you often make mood boards for your projects - what did this one look like?
- How did you land on the two-story structure for Undone By Blood? Do you have different notes, design documents, research for each half?
- How do you split up the work for a co-written title?
- Do you two bounce ideas off of either for your solo titles (Black Stars Above, The Replacer)? Where do you personally feel the “co-creator” line starts?
- Top 3 westerns (book or movies)?
- Is there a significance to one of the plots taking place in 1971?
- Does the title or genre of a book often come before the plot of the story (i.e. you have an idea of where you want to tell a story but not necessarily what story) or vice versa?
- Is it easier or harder to sell genre stories? What was the original pitch for Undone By Blood?
- What do you like about revenge stories?
- There’s some impressive layout work here, for instance, the gutters also serve as prison bars in issue #2...do you have a treasure chest of layout ideas you think up and save for later, or is this something that’s more organic working with the artist?
- Yondu exit interview...how do we feel about your 5 issue mini?!
- Do you see thematic or narrative cross over between Undone By Blood and other works like Yondu, Black Stars Above, etc. or do you actively work to avoid similarities?
- Last but not least, how do you think Yondu would fare in the world of Undone By Blood?
