What part of his history were you most excited to dig into, and what makes your take on the Goblin stand out?Norman’s been a villain, a businessman, a politician, and sometimes even a twisted version of a hero. How do you approach writing a character who’s constantly shifting between personas?Your Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone series introduces a walled-off wasteland, kaiju lore, and the myth of a half-man, half-kaiju survivor. How did you approach building suspense and worldbuilding in this isolated, almost post-apocalyptic setting?Writing Godzilla means balancing spectacle with humanity. What’s your approach to telling grounded stories in the shadow of kaiju-level destruction?Now onto Blink and You’ll Miss It — the tone and premise feel so personal and unique. How did this story come together, and what inspired you to tell a love story with a sci-fi twist?There’s a big emotional core in Blink and You’ll Miss It, but also some wild time-manipulation ideas. How did you balance the heart with the high-concept hook?You’re juggling three very different projects — a Marvel villain origin, a giant monster epic, and a bittersweet romantic mini. How do you shift your mindset between such wildly different tones and genres?All three books deal with identity in some form — Norman’s fractured psyche, a couple navigating time, and characters caught between humanity and monsters. Is that a theme you’re consciously exploring across your work, or something that just naturally emerges?Fun one to wrap things up: If the Green Goblin got his own kaiju-sized glider and showed up in the Godzilla universe… how long would he last, and which monster would absolutely wreck him first?

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by writers Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan to talk about their monster summer of comics. From slasher vibes in Bring on the Bad Guys: Green Goblin, to apocalyptic kaiju chaos in Godzilla: Escape the Dead Zone, to the emotional sci-fi love story Blink and You'll Miss It, the duo breaks down their wildly varied slate, plus shares some surprise details about their upcoming Marvel Zombies: Red Band series. We talk writing Spider-Man, building a shared Godzilla universe, and how they keep it all balanced (spoiler: it may involve Click rules and a lot of Dr. Pepper).
