    That was the best interview you've done to date. Thank you for taking the time to edit, splice in visuals, and add time stamps. Most of all, thank you for letting the interview breath and giving the platform to the guests, prompting them with provocative questions and then sitting back and allowing them to do most the talking.

    I love these deep conversations where you get to see a bit behind the scenes and gain some real knowledge and perspective. The Ghost Machine business plan and setup is really fascinating. I wish YT shared my enthusiasm for substantiative content like this.

    What a great interview Chris. I had the honor of meeting Geoff and Jason and Peter and Francis in Toronto. These guys are real nice people and they are making the best comics! Everyone check out Rook Exodus for sure! That’s their strongest titles

    Thanks for the wonderful interview, Chris! That was really interesting. One intriguing takeaway for me was the structure of Ghost Machine, and how each of them has an ownership stake in every Ghost Machine project. The other amazing takeaway is that Geoff Johns has Redcoat plotted up to at least issue 100! Wow. It would be so cool to see them get that far (or further) and see Redcoat become a story with a definite end, like Kirkman's Invincible.

    That was a great interview.
    I'm a big fan of Redcoat (I started reading it after you mentioned it, Chris) - bits of it are very stupid and silly and hilariously funny, but it carries a stiletto when it comes to developing a story and character. It's tremendously sharp from the first page to the last when it comes to writing, art and editing.

    A great interview with Geoff and Bryan. I had not heard the reason for Geoff to write a story from a Brit perspective of the Revolutionary War, which was really a civil war. As Brit, I had accepted the American version until I read Robert Graves' Sergeant Lamb books and found that history was a lot more complicated. Benedict Arnold who despaired at the never ending war (no end in sight from his point of time) and decide to turncoat would help end the war.
    There is a great British comic strip called Adam Eterno about a hero who travels through history and later time, but can be killed by gold, although this was changed in retcon. Pat Mills would always talk about never being paid for his time for research on Charley's War by the publishing company.

    You sir, are a scammer! I feel OUTRAGED!! You promised me cat pictures and didn't deliver!! HOW DARE YOU?!! Seriously though, that was a really interesting interview, I am a huge fan of Bryan Hitch and Geoff run on JSA so I was invested from the start, but it turned out to be quite a warm and human interview, and in this day and age getting a positive initiative on comics and arts in general for what Ghost Machine it really gave hope. I also didn't understand really what ghost machine was or what Red Coat was about, but now I am very interested to check it out. Great work!

    I love this as a business and creative decision for the creators, however i do wish we had them on superheroes too.
    Perfect time for Johns to go back to Marvel. Once North finishes their run, Johns would be a perfect writer. Quitely covers. McKone/Reis/Pelletier/Fabok/Manapul interiors.

      Why?

    • @JerekBilbar
      @JerekBilbar Місяць тому

      @ Big part of the reason the DCEU got shoehorned away from Snyder. Responsible for a lot of lackluster creative choices in the theatrical Justice League cut. He said some stuff to the guy who played cyborg which I consider pretty discriminatory. I didn’t appreciate the fact that doomsday clock was ever made. Obviously DC has been screwing with Alan Moore’s work for a long time but Doomsday Clock is so juvenile and underwritten that it’s bankrupt of any form of commentary. I can definitely appreciate him bringing back Hal Jordan. I think he did Flashpoint? I don’t hate flashpoint but I don’t love it either. He did Batman earth one which starts kinda mid but gets progressively worse. Also I read his Geiger from Image comics, it’s a lazy mix of Fallout New Vegas and Breaking Bad. It’s not subtle about its breaking bad influence at all, it’s basically a Walter white fiction. When he’s not actively ruining classic works from creators long abused by the industry, when he’s not butting in with creative decisions that are best left alone, he’s telling boring and mediocre stories.

    • @johnedelman7487
      @johnedelman7487 Місяць тому +2

      I can't comment on what you allege regarding his behaviour, and enjoyment is subjective, but I find his work mostly hugely enjoyable. Blackest Night and Flashpoint are two of the the best DC stories I've read and his recent stuff at Ghost Machine I'm thoroughly enjoying. I didn't get the Breaking Bad references in the first run of Geiger, maybe I should re-read them. Anyway, I'm a fan.
