What inspired you to make Beast King? I wanted to go for something that felt familiar but was also different. I feel like we need more main characters that are more human and relatable. But a good chunk of my inspiration comes from the Hulk and Wolverine. What was the process like making Beast King? I would say it is just like anyone else making a comic. Run into unfortunate setbacks, make progress and then suddenly you’re to broke to make progress, and then when you’re finally done it feels like it took forever to get there. But it’s always worth it to see the finished product. How was your experience doing Kickstarter? Well I’ve now had around 5 successful kickstarters so it’s not that difficult for me. But in the beginning it was very confusing as I didn’t know anyone or know anything. So I was pretty clueless but managed to fund my first one as I met other creators and learned the way of things. Crimson Gate Comics now has several different titles now. What was that process like doing multiple books? It can be tedious at times. Especially since one of the series, Crosser’s Gate, isn’t mine. I have to make sure I have the funds to keep mine going while also making sure Crosser’s Gate is making enough for Trevis to be able to justifiably keep the series going since he is a full time artist. The ultimate goal is to release about two new issues of each series a year at least so I am hoping we can get there soon. How has the experience been doing shows and store appearances to promote your books? I would say fairly good. I can usually manage to sell a good amount of our comics wherever I am at. I think I have only ever had one bad experience but that was just because nobody was showing up at the comic shop that day. I am hoping at some point I can start doing more conventions as I have only been able to do one or two a year. If you could work with any creator or on any character who or what would it be? I would say I would want to work on Wolverine or The Hulk as those type of stories I feel are where I do best. I like working on characters that are flawed in some way. Plus they are my top two favorite Marvel characters. What are some upcoming comics you have coming out? So this year we are releasing a new series called Ungodly Champion hopefully no later than April. It’s a story of a tournament of the gods held in modern times where gods choose their champion to fight in the tournament. It could be described as Avataar the Last Airbender meets mortal Kombat. Hopefully by June we will be releasing Beast King #4 as well. https://www.facebook.com/CrimsonGateComics/ http://crimsongatecomics.com |
