- Greg Capullo is the biggest Batman artist of the 21st Century. The guy is just a living legend and rightly famous for his stellar run with writer Scott Snyder. Greg has drawn everything from Spawn to Creech to co-creating Reborn with Mark himself, but he's here to talk about his big surprise move to Marvel. He sits down with comic maestro and Netflix exec Mark Millar to chew the cud on all things sequential!

Great interview and funny! I met Mr. Capullo at New York Comic Con a few years back and he is one cool dude. Great artist as well. I can’t wait to see which character he does at Marvel!
I’d LOVE to see Greg try his hand at FF or Hulk! Awesome interview. That quick little Larry Hama story story at the end was fantastic. Thanks for sharing Greg!
Greg’s a hoot! Great artist and a great guy. Thanks
I started getting Batman for Greg
Mr. Millar mentions Flash Annual #5 ("Run-In") at 45:55. This issue went on sale June 30th, 1992 written by Mark Waid & Craig Boldman. It happened to be the latter's last superhero story before moving on to humor titles like Archie, Betty, Veronica, Looney Tunes, Dexter's Laboratory, and Cartoon Cartoons.
Greg pencilled 17-20 Quasar comics from November 13th, 1990 to July 14th, 1992 but the run was interrupted three times. For some reason, parts of Operation: Galactic Storm were simultaneously reprinted as Quasar Specials #1 ("The Tomb of Mar-Vell") - 3 ("The Scorched Sun"). I view that weird decision as a big compliment given to Mr. Capullo. His X-Force run was precisely 12 issues provided you count Annual #1 ("The Mirror Liars").
What a guy.
Great interview! I've known Greg and Jamie for a while, they're awesome! I'm happy to have found the channel, loving your books Mark!
"All roads lead back to Ralph Macchio" - hilariously true, he lived across the street from my great Aunt, and when they found out I liked comics, Ralph mailed me some Ultimate Spidey trades and some photocopied art of Mark Bagley's pages. Good guy. Great guy.
eating a pizza and drinking beer while watching your friend do the iron man competition is the best thing i've heard all week!
This conversation is so fun! I really only know Greg's work with Scott on Batman but I'm looking forward to seeing his work with Marvel.
Capullo's best work was on Spawn, imo. McFarlane inking and embellishing Greg was perfect.
Greg, you're a legend.
I’m so excited for this interview!!!!
These guys have been engaging my imagination for decades now, thank you lads
Greg is like,one of my fav artists ever. Him & Scott's time on DC was my reintroduction to DC.
Thank you for doing this amazing podcast and interviews! It was the dark nights metal series that got me back into comics in my adult years. In purely inspiring by the passion you all share about this median of entertainment!
Great interview. Greg seems like a genuinely awesome guy. Thanks for this, Mark.
My soul is thirsty. Brilliant
Do 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 kilometer run every day for 3 years to get in shape
I’ve been following Greg’s artwork since Quasar! He has a great enthusiasm and still stays realistic with his place in creating great comics! He is a prominent artist and I would love ❤️ to see him on the Fantastic Four! Thanks again,Mark! Keep up the great work!👍🎯😎❤️
It's great to see how humble a lot of these creators are. Great show!
Badass interview/conversation.
Very inspiring
what a wonderful dude. i met him at a con and other than having to pay per autograph ( ididn't like that), he was real easy going and not pretentious at all. he seemed genuinely interested in everyone on the line waiting for him and he chatted with all of us. that last story about larry hama was crazy.
Another great one. Loving these Millar Time interviews. Greg is a legend and to hear his continued enthusiasm for the artform is wonderful. I'd love to see him draw Thor. Just imagine what Capullo could do with Asgard and the cast of characters there. Can't wait for the next episode.
The kids' intro of Mark's comics and pending comics, Chef's Kiss. I hope they never learn to pronounce names, I still say para-digg'em instead of paradigm.
Absolutely fantastic to see you two together!
"20 year old Marvel Comics fan." 🤣 Oh Mark 🤣🤣
Thank you for that. Great interview
Greg Capullo did indeed pencil three What If comics. Issue 2 (“What If Daredevil Had Killed the Kingpin?”), #8 (“What If...Iron Man Lost the Armor Wars?”), and #15 (“What if the Trial of Galactus Had Ended in Reed Richards’ Execution?”) went on sale in between April 18th, 1989 and May 15th, 1990. The latter question was phrased a bit differently on the cover as What If...The Fantastic Four Had Lost The Trial of Galactus?
This issue is noteworthy because it happened to be Greg's first ever cover credit. The other five piecemeal stories Greg pencilled prior to Quasar were Fantastic Four Annual #23 (“Beyond and Back”), Impossible Man Summer Vacation Spectacular #1 (“Impossible But Strange”), Marvel Super-Heroes #3 (“Turning Point”), Daredevil #286 (“The Thief”), and Avengers Spotlight #39 (“Cry Crusader”).
This one gets quite personally deep. Very inspiring - thank you again.
Wow Ive loved Greg's art for a long time but never new how awesome of a person he seems! What a likeable guy, definitely someone who you can look up to both their art and character!
Great interview guys, I could listen to you two talk all day!
Greg, you killed it on the Batman/Spawn issue!
loved this interview! thanks Greg, thanks Mark!
Another fantastic episode. Enjoying your foray into UA-cam a great deal and your current comics coming out bring a smile to my face every time they are in a package arriving from the store I mail order from(no comic shop in the town I live in >>Dunedin, New Zealand
what a great episode! I would LOVE to see you interview Travis
On July 21st: JUST ANNOUNCED AT #MARVELSDCC: Superstar artist Greg Capullo returns to Marvel Comics later this year! Get a first look at his new ‘Wolverine’ #37 variant cover now. 😂😂
How can be so good and yet still so humble. His humour through out and insights especially towards end were inspirational. I'd like to see him on Punisher especially if marvel are swerve turning him from face back to heel as a spiderman villain.
Love the variety of guests you have had on so far. Would love to see a Richard and Wendy Pini interview or a Louise and Walter Simonson one.
Awesome interview, I learn so much from you and who ever you’re speaking too
Good interview.
Great interview. I think I have a new favorite artist.
It’s interesting that Greg mentions John Buscema as an important inspiration at 22:40 and his mother later compliments Ralph as “so nice” at 47:15. Please allow me to share a less flattering perspective on Macchio. On June 27th, 2011, Jim Shooter wrote the following at his blog.
“I wasn't paying much attention to Marvel then. I was pretty busy with VALIANT. I do know that I was persona non grata to some people at Marvel - far from all, by the way. I had plenty of friends there. But the haters were in charge.
George Caragonne, who went to Marvel's offices once in a while told me that Ralph Macchio had erected a "wall of shame," ridiculing me and everything I'd ever done. DeFalco and company conspicuously avoided reprinting any of my work, lest I get a nickel of reprint money. Meanwhile, it seemed like everything DeFalco and cronies had ever worked on was being reprinted. They did their best to avoid mentioning me or crediting me with anything. I was virtually expunged from Marvel history, though I had worked there for twelve years and been EIC for more than nine of Marvel's 29 years since FF #1. Yes, I think it's fair to say there was a "conscious effort." "Vindictive" works, too.
The reasons for the above are not what people have been led to believe. It's so easy to think "He must have been a really nasty guy for people to hate him so much." Not so. We'll get to that in the blog soon. I'll tell what happened. People can take it or leave it, but I think most will be surprised by what really went on.”
I replied “I'm disappointed to hear Ralph Macchio created that wall of shame. I noticed he wrote the introduction to Avengers: The Korvac Saga in 1991. This collected edition was added to the Marvel Premiere Classic library a while ago as Volume 38. As a bonus, Thor Annual #6 ("Thunder in the 31st Century") written by Roger Stern was added as a prelude. Here's some of what Ralph wrote for the introduction:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The impassioned epic popularly referred to as "The Michael Saga" was the brainchild of two of the premier talents of the Second Marvel Age: scripter James Shooter, and co-plotter and penciler George Pérez.
Shooter's comics-writing career spans decades. His work on DC's Legion of Super-Heroes series is a highwater mark that paved the way for his distinguished scrivening on Avengers. Shooter's crisp style and fine ability to juggle many characters made him, in some ways, the perfect writer for the world's mightiest super-team.
Pérez seemed to thrive on drawing as many characters as possible within the enlarging scope of a storyline, and Shooter's complex concoction was the perfect vehicle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Macchio had plenty more good things to say about The Korvac Saga in general. Those are just the sentences specifically mentioning Jim's name.”
Shooter elaborated that “Ralph is a classic Eddie Haskell, proper when he has to be, snarky-to-vicious when he can get away with it. When talking on the phone to various people, Ralph's voice would be dripping with sincerity while he was miming his disdain for whomever was on the line to amuse any cronies hanging around his office. Even John Buscema got this treatment.
Ralph didn't like the ending of the Korvac Saga, so in the reprint volume you refer to he added three new pages at the end to "fix" it. I've been told his revision was dropped from subsequent reprintings, but I don't know for sure.
That volume was one of very few of my works reprinted during those years. Under protest, probably.”
The next day, I posted another comment with a different anecdote on the matter. “According to the Marvel Masterworks message board, Tom Brevoort was once quoted saying "That epilogue was done years after the fact, written by the otherwise-saintly Mark Gruenwald, and it basically revealed that the story you had just read was fundamentally flawed, that Korvac's plan could never have succeeded based on things Mark had decided about the Marvel Universe after that story had been done. I thought it was terribly unnecessary and disrespectful when it first came out, so given the opportunity to correct it in the current printing, I asked that it be taken out."
Regardless of Brevoort’s opinion, these controversial pages were included in the most recent hardcover. Jim also replied to two more fans further clarifying “I didn't say Ralph wrote it. I said he "added" it, as editor. It was written at his behest.
I almost fired Ralph several times for his weasel-y behavior and his egregious, chronic lateness. I didn't because during each 30-day probation he always put on just enough of a show of improvement to squeak by, and, contrary to common belief, I was loathe to damage anyone's livelihood and career. Even his. That's exactly the kind of sentiment that Ralph would snicker at, exactly the sort of compassion - he probably thinks of it as a weakness - that he exploits. Keeping him was a mistake. I should have fired him the first time he showed his colors."
I met Greg Capullo at L.A. comicon at the beginning of this month 😎
That was a great one. I would have loved to see Greg draw Conan or Solomon Kane.
Did Greg just say "Praying Atheist"
C'mon man, that's a creator owned title right there.
The project Capullo was offered by Dan Slott was probably Reckoning War
Capullo on SPIDERMAN ! That’s my biggest wish
35 min - "Be a good person" I 100% agree with Greg here. I've heard a lot of Christians say things along the lines of "If there's no god and no heaven, what incentive do I have to be a good person?" Those kind of people seem to be totally missing the point of their own religion. Do unto others. Just be good. Pretty simple. Like Greg says, whether there's a God or not, just be good to each other people.
It’s very easy to say this after living in societies (I.e. the western world, formerly Christendom) that have been inundated with 2,000 years of Christian teaching. The world before Christianity and the world after it won’t be an obvious “just be generically good to people” mindset people currently have. We don’t even agree on morality anymore. People want the benefits of Christianity without the actual religion and that doesn’t work. The people that most would say are good people aren’t actually “good.” They’re sinners who commit and/or believe in outrageous violations of God’s natural moral law. It’s sad. We can’t be good people on our own. That’s the point. Because of original sin we’re fallen creations. We need Christ. Yes you can still make up a subjective morality without God and follow it. But it’s ultimately meaningless because you and every single person will expire as will the universe and it’ll all be for naught if God doesn’t exist.
I equate living life without God like playing a video game by just messing around without playing the story mode. You can create your own goals and tasks but it doesn’t lead anywhere. By playing the story mode you’re playing the game as the creator intended with a reward at the end. It’s quite illogical if everyone is a soulless 🦍 to be completely altruistic all the time. You see this in science fiction a lot from aliens who only use logic and shun emotion or don’t feel emotion.
I hope you find the Catholic faith if you haven’t already. God bless brother.
really enjoyed this. I met Todd, Jim and many others but the stars haven't aligned to meet Greg .... yet. and have my books signed!
Super nice super humble he truly adores his fans, met Snyder him & Glapion @ 1 booth SC Comicon
speaking on company loyalty over following creators, i'm a marvel fan who loves the characters and honestly can't afford to get into DC LOL. Bendis is one of my favorite writers so when he left to DC it helped me start to get into a few independent books like Pearl, Magic Order, Undiscovered Country, and a few others but I always end up buying the trades of those afterwards so i'm on the fence about continuing with floppies of new independent series and maybe just picking up the trades of anything that interests me in the future. Plus i'm sitting on around 50 short boxes and always pulling around 25 or so subscriptions a month at my LCS already. i pick up the occasional DC miniseries like Last Knight On Earth or Harleen but was very disappointed in the endings of both Doomsday Clock and Three Jokers
Greg has friends all over the country
Don't criticize him
He will find you
He will rebuild you.
Hi Mark, will you do deluxe/oversized hardcovers of your work? It would be amazing to get the Jupiter series' in an omnibus or deluxe hardxover format. Collect all three magic order books in a nice omnibus, et cetera. Food fort hough and extra cash for you, the artist creators abd netdlix I guess.
Feels like I was intruding in the middle of a. Date… 😂
Dan. Is a nice guy ?? Lmao. Endless your a fan.
23:17 Frank Frazetta kinda STuff... Man good thing Love to Art persisted!
1st thing you should do in terms of fitness? Stretch! Some say 'flexibility is strength.'
Btw: I'd love to make some art with you!
Damn this is cool. I can't hear a damn thing.
Mark millar, with all that money still uses a webcam instead of a real camera
i want to work for you. how does one work for you?
