We sit down with PKJ for the second time to talk about his recently wrapped runs on Action Comics &amp;amp; Alien. Listen now! Intro Apologies for delay in episodes - see blog post for more PKJ Last time we spoke was Feb. 2021, discussing Last Sons of America, Kill A Man and end of The Last God Superman (3:42) What was something you wanted to do with Superman that hadn’t been done before? Exploration of Clark-Jon relationship - so many emotional moments Warworld Saga - why go with Mongul for main villain of storyline? Love Osul and Otho - their lack of exposure to anything resembling compassion and love, and the welcoming by the Superman family, is best addition to mythos in a long time Superman family gets major focus here - family is thru-line running across the entire arc Special point on Kong Kenan and his “defection” Blue Earth movement - *chef’s kiss* Alien (22:28) Another instance of a father doing anything for his son in first arc Was it always the plan to have 3 separate arcs across 2 volumes? How much input did you have into Xenomorph designs, or was that all artists?
