How did it feel to get the band back together? Did you feel your collaborative process had changed at all? Did you learn new things about each other? What kind of research went into writing the historical aspects like this, both in terms of plotting and illustration? Were there any historical moments you wanted to get into RetroActive but had to nix? I’m imagining a ton of charts and graphs, how did you keep track of your timelines How did you set about creating the different protocols and technical terms?
