Jon Davis-Hunt:Yes and no.
Fundamentally, doing the redesigns has just been a huge amount of fun.
So yeah, now I am pretty freaked out, but I try not to think about it.
How have you noticed your style or approach change over the course of the first nine issues?
Thats where the micro panels came in.
It gives so much more control over the flow and pacing.
I think they help to give the book an additional visual characteristic.
My aim is to find an appropriate place to slip in two full 32 panel pages.
A 64 panel double page spread!!!
I havent found the right time to do it yet, but one day!
How did you pick which scenes to reference?
Oh and also, make the composition sit well on the page.
Ive also got a huge soft spot forEquilibriumwhich has some tremendous close combat gunplay.
What else were you drawing from to make such a stylish, deliberate fight?
Thats a real example of how I simply took Warrens script and then tried to do it justice.
Warren had detailed the fight out and then I went in and further spliced the action down.
I also channeled some cinematic influences too particularly, the fight scenes from The Brotherhood of the Wolf.
Steve Buccellatos coloring is amazing.
Can you talk about your process working with him?
It would be hard to over exaggerate just how brilliant Steve is.
He really has been a huge part of the artistic process.
I felt especially bad after drawing all those rain drops in issue nine!
Steve took my fairly vague notes and just totally realized the books visual aesthetic.
Getting finished pages back from Steve is one of the most exciting parts of working on the book!
How do you go from horror inClean Roomto the cerebral action inThe Wild Storm?
I think both books have been heavy on characterization, so in that way, its been fairly easy.
Its just simply a blast drawing.
Who havent you drawn yet that youre really excited to get to?
Its the obvious answer, but its also the truth.
However, I honestly dont know if he and Apollo will show up.
I keep mentioning him to Warren, but so far, nothing.
The Wild Storm#9 is out in shops and online on Wednesday, 11/15/2017.
