But what happens when your dad is actually a murderous mad scientist?
How do you grapple with the mistakes and decisions of a parent who is a full-on supervillain?
But it centers on an unlikely relationship between a father and his daughter.
How did you come to this premise?
Matthew Rosenberg:Making comics is a funny thing.
Or maybe who you are is no longer represented.
That’s the pretentious answer I guess.
Also I thought it would be fun to make a book about a mad scientist’s daughter.
What can you tell us about the setting of WTEDWU?
I’m a big fan of building out a world while your characters also explore it.
What can you tell us about where she’s at as that journey begins?
When we meet Annalise she is a very lonely child.
She desperately wants her father’s attention, or any kind of attention.
But she is stuck playing games with robots who cheat.
If it’s all you’ve ever known, any life can feel normal.
But deep down, in some hidden part of your brain, you must know something is off.
For Annalise that hidden part is about to come out and blow everything up.
The art on WTEDWU by Stefano Landini with Roman Titov and Jason Wordie is so good.
What makes them the perfect art team for this title?
Stefano’s linework is deceptively simple and elegant.
He prioritizes storytelling and character, making his work so instantly readable and relatable.
But the clean lines leave a ton of room for a colorist to come in and do something loud.
And that’s what Roman and Jason do.
They’re using big, bold colors and not tying themselves to realism.
What were the touchstones you gave them to help develop the look of this series?
For a lot of the initial designs that was Stefano.
I just helped point in a few directions.
We also talked about Travis Charest’s work on WildC.A.T.S., Miller and Mazzucchelli’s Daredevil.
And the same thing for the colors.
What do you want fans to know going into We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us?
They’re paying for it so I hope they get whatever they want out of it?
Enjoyment would be good.
