Today I'm joined by returning guest comics writer Matthew Rosenberg, who I'm christening the hardest promoting man in comics, to chat about his new Images Comics series If Destruction Be Our Lot and taking over writing duties from the Toddfather on the longest running creator owned series of all time, Spawn.
Conversation highlights include
* Matthew discussing the coincidental timing of his back-to-back robot-centric projects What’s the Furthest Place From Here? and If Destruction Be Our Lot and how they serve as a conversation or rebuttal to his previous comic book themes.
* Collaborating on a writing project with his brother Mark Elijah Rosenberg and their wildly different tastes and influences.
* Why a robotic Abraham Lincoln was the perfect nucleus for a story about loneliness and the breakdown of human connection.
* Why comics are the perfect responsive medium to address making a statement about our rapidly changing world.
* Taking over Spawn and the unique challenge of legacy.
If Destruction Be Our Lot
From the publisher
Humanity is extinct and all that remains are the robots who once helped us.The robots who once helped us are happier now, doing their work without human interference. But not Abe. He believes there must be something more out there. After nearly getting killed, he's determined to wander the Earth until he finds it—or gets recycled trying. Brilliant artist ANDY MACDONALD (Doctor Strange, Wonder Woman), and adequate writers MARK ELIJAH ROSENBERG (Approaching the Unknown, Year Million) and MATTHEW ROSENBERG (WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US, 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank) bring you an ongoing sci-fi adventure about finding purpose, holding onto hope, and really lonely robots.
