Holtham teams with Michael Lee Harris talk Motherfu*kin Monsters One-Shot (The Horizon Experiment) - Out December 18, 2024!J, Michael, thanks for joining us on the AIPT comics podcast! Thematically, what inspired the blend of comedic and horror elements in this story, and how do these genres enhance the narrative?We’ve had Pornsak on, Michael Walsh, and each time I’m curious, how did you guys get in on this exciting project of one-shots?How was your collaboration with Pornsak?The Horizon Experiment introduces complex characters dealing with extraordinary circumstances—how did you approach balancing humanity with the monstrous elements of the plot?Can you share your creative process for developing the visual tone of the comic, and how the artwork complements the story's darker, chaotic themes?The concept of 'monsters' often carries deeper metaphorical weight—what underlying social or personal themes did you aim to explore through this one-shot?Take us through your collaborative process? For instance, what do the action beats look like in a script vs the page?Michael, a lot of the art has an almost fish-eye lens, what was your goal in that approach?Were there any monsters or villains you didn’t get to put in here that you’ve got sketched out?J, you probably get this all the time, but with a few comics series now under your belt, do you approach writing comics differently than with TV?How far out have you planned future chapters?What comics are you currently reading?
