Stacks of Comics - Episode 011 - Q&A with Kelly Sue...

Wed, 29 Aug 2012 16:33:00 -0500

Stacks of Comics - Episode 011 - Q&A with Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction!

Episode ELEVEN (yes we go to eleven, hopefully higher even ;) of Stacks of Comics is here! Another flashback episode recorded on August 11th, 2012… In fact, it was recorded the same day as Episode 10 - directly after the Stacks of Questions Interview with The Trautmanns.

So, once again, I am very excited to introduce you to this episode - DEDICATED to the Q&A Panel/Session with Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction, recorded live from Gabi’s Olympic Card & Comics Shop, Lacey, Washington!

Please enJOY this 01:16:56 (1 hour, 16 minute, 56 second) installment of the Stack of Comics podcast!

NOTE: As part of the podcast audio, I introduce the episode and where necessary add voice over context for some of the more “difficult to hear” questions from the audience. I also introduce each of my 6 questions for Kelly Sue and Matt (see below).

Q&A with Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction!

Quick Guide to my 6 Questions for this dynamic duo!:

00:20:22 - to Kelly Sue - Are you excited about taking over Avengers Assemble?
00:32:53 - to Matt - Are the messages at the bottom of the pages in Defenders all you?
00:47:35 - to Both - Do you guys bounce ideas off each other?
00:55:44 - to Both - Has your online presence changed the way you work?
01:04:23 - to Matt - What was your inspiration for Silver Surfer in Defenders/Thor? Are you a big Silver Surfer fan?
01:12:40 - to Both - What is your work/life balance?

NOTE: There are many other questions asked during this Q&A, the above list are simply what and when I asked my questions with this podcast in mind. :)
