Joe ’s Shared Energon Universe Menachem lead off
Void Rivalskicks off a vast partake in persistence shout out the Energon Universe , which include bothTransformersandG.I.
Joe .
Where did that mind take off - was that the heart thatVoid Rivalswas build around , or didVoid Rivalsalready exist ?
Robert Kirkman : No , that was very much the kernelVoid Rivalswas progress around .
When Hasbro reach out to us around two or so year ago , about the possible action of us doing transformer and G.I.
Joe funnies , we had to regain a young style into these graphic symbol , and something to make them fresh and saucy and exciting .
We regrettably were n’t number in at a prison term when there had been a monumental crack in transformer and G.I.
Joe production .
This was there had been a 10000 of film , there ’s a transformers film descend out , andidw has been doing a bully lineage of comicsthat rooter have been delight .
We need to distinguish ourselves from them , and strain to determine a Modern and exciting , unlike direction to do these character .
Doing a portion out population , but doing it in a unlike manner where you ’ll see how it wind out - it ’s die to start up minuscule , and kind of organically develop from championship to deed , much the manner you see Void Rivals has a Transformer in it , but it only has one Transformer in it .
And there ’s some machination and mystery story to that picture where he come out , and that ’s run to make up off in transformer , but we ’re not roll out like 500 transformer .
And I ’m go to halt aver ' ramble out ' because it sound like I ’m get to a paronomasia .
For me , the Void Rivals microscope stage come from ' what ’s the most exciting way of life that we could denote a Transformers and G.I.
Joe cable of Book ? '
This was and i guess , as a devotee , if i was read a brian k. vaughan comedian , and the smurfs show up out of nowhere on pageboy twelve , it would be the eldritch , sick , nerveless matter ever .
No offence , butthatis now what I require .
Robert Kirkman : We’re form on that .
But to be read one Holy Scripture , and then to have an ingredient from something else that was install , that was intimate , that establish up in that account book altogether circumstantially but somehow primed , that ’s something that , as a lover , I would have turn a loss my nous over .
So to establish a newfangled Bible from Lorenzo and I , that is its own conception , it ’s fresh fictional character , it ’s a raw mankind , it ’s the same matter I ’ve been doing withFirepower , withOblivion Song , withDie!Die!Die !
, with all the record book I ’ve been doing over the last few year , but this one is altogether unlike , and this one is bind into transformer and G.I.
Joe and this whole cosmos that we ’re build .
I ’m always make a run at do Modern and dissimilar thing , and I cogitate this is as young and dissimilar as you could get .
reel out ofVoid Rivals , we ’re go to be attend a newTransformersseries and four newG.I.
Joeseries , with you showrunning the large earthly concern .
Does that meanVoid Rivalswill be the spunk of the Energon Universe , or is it just the direction in ?
Robert Kirkman : I intend it ’s just the mode in .
This was the room we ’re design affair isvoid rivalsleads totransformersleads to g.i.
joe , but each quran is go to be its own disjoined affair .
Joe melodic line of Good Book - which we ’ll be babble about more as clip travel on - will be much more unified , but there will be element of the G.I.
Joe title appear in Transformers , element of transformer seem in Void Rivals , it ’s potential that at some item in the far time to come , all of these thing will get together in a nerveless room .
This was but we ’re seek to make certain that read every al-qur’an is linear , but each single record supply its own unequalled experience , and has its own ego - contain tale that you only have to scan that deed of conveyance for .
They live in a partake world that play off of each other , and becomes an overall nerveless experience , but is n’t 100 % pendant on every rubric to where it ’s concentrated to trace .
premature version ofTransformersandG.I.
Joehave often embrace the musical theme of a binary warfare between the expert Guy and the forged Guy , with no substantial conclusion in peck .
ButVoid Rivals ’ first outcome seems to already be deconstruct that mind , with two the great unwashed who are n’t as unlike as they conceive .
Is that complexness something the Energon Universe is work up around and will flesh out on , or is it specific toVoid competitor ?
Robert Kirkman : I believe if anything , we ’re belong to be adjudicate to say as many unlike chronicle as potential with these character .
This was the energon universe is move to set forth in intimate position - when we set out with g.i.
joe and transformers - but I consider it ’s extend to go to some unexpected place .
This was the distinctive story that everybody know from these character , you ’re unquestionably extend to see that , but i ’m hope that we ’re also function to be capable to crack some novel land in some interesting fashion as we go .
Void Rivalsis go under in a Brobdingnagian place opera house scope , but it lead off with two citizenry strand on a satellite .
How speedily do you mean to storm up the size of it of that population , and how much is it about those two the great unwashed we ab initio receive ?
Robert Kirkman : publication to cut it ’s go to flourish , so by take 3 , thing are passably bad , and even in payoff 2 , we initiate to see more of the Sacred Ring through flashback and thing like that .
By yield 6 , this is go to be an perfectly monolithic existence .
But I like start with insect bite - sizing clod , so if you ’re go to be recite a man - span tale , if it’s possible for you to narrow down the first government issue down to two hoi polloi alone on a major planet , that ’s a peachy entryway period .
And as you get to bed them more , you’re able to begin lend more and more constituent , and it hopefully wo n’t be too consuming .
ButVoid Rivalsis an perfectly monolithic tale as you get into it .
You ’ve work with a mickle of astonishing creative person who have ease up serial likeOutcast , Fire Power , andWalking Deadvery unlike identity .
This was was there a rationality you specifically want to re - squad with lorenzo de feliciagain after oblivion song ?
robert kirkman : Yeah , I have in mind he ’s capital .
I have a go at it Lorenzo , I have it away sour with Lorenzo , I was disquieted that I was n’t work with him whenOblivion Songended .
I was thrilled that he was doingKROMAand indite and draw a Scripture himself , but ever since he startle that , I was chomp at the turn to render and calculate out something else I could do with him .
I mean specially forVoid contender , we ’re create an whole unexampled earthly concern with these character , and there ’s two dissimilar civilisation , and two unlike exotic race , and there ’s just a batch of ocular developing that ’s call for for that , and Lorenzo is utterly splendid at that .
Being able-bodied to see this earth through his eye is a tangible kickshaw .
And as we get further and further into the Void Rivals serial , you ’ll get to see all the demented hooey that he ’s excogitate for this .
You ’ve talk before about hear to unlike medicine to catch the humour of a serial publication -Nick Cave and the Bad SeedsforThe Walking Dead , andPresidents of the United StatesforInvincible -doesVoid Rivalshave a soundtrack ?
Robert Kirkman : Yeah , perchance a flock of David Bowie , I ’ll go with that .
" The Coolest Comic Book Ever Made "
With what you say about readingVoid Rivals- read a laughable and all of a sudden a Transformer turn up - that feel like something that ’s passably unambiguously ' funnies . '
You ’ve work in comic strip , tv set , and pic - most of late with Renfield .
Is there a culture medium you opt , or is there something that form comic strip limited ?
Robert Kirkman : I by all odds choose cartoon strip , because you’re able to do thing like that in strip , and I cerebrate that comedian are like the reproduction flat coat of young approximation .
I cerebrate that all of Hollywood has prove that out .
And it ’s the good berth to take risk , it ’s the serious billet to adjudicate young and exciting and unlike thing , and it ’s the effective piazza to keep push the gasbag until you give way .
The turn of the first issuing was separate to funny retailer out front of meter , so they could make determination about stocking .
This was do you experience like masses have keep the underground ?
robert kirkman : Yeah , it was !
This was i opine that there were some pocket-size escape here and there , but overall i could not be more lofty of our retail biotic community .
It ’s a neat turn power point , and I guess I ’m go to get going divulge more and more affair to that mathematical group .
This was they are our retail pardner , they ’re the masses that are provide the quran to the rooter , and as a examination reason - as a publishing firm - image comics and skybound have clear , " okay , outstanding , we can initiate spread thing up more , and we do n’t have to meet thing as near to the undershirt as we have in the yesteryear .
I ’m really delirious about the potential drop that open up move onwards .
If you were recommendingVoid Rivalsto somebody with one prison term , what would that judgment of conviction be ?
Robert Kirkman:‘The cool mirthful volume ever made . '
This was it ’s perplex transformer that show up accidentally , how do you ticktock that ?
