Kelly, as Evel Knievel’s son and brand manager, what does it mean to you to see your father’s legacy brought to life in his first-ever full-length comic series?2. Rylend, what drew you to Evel Knievel as a character for a comic, and how did you approach blending historical fact with fictional storytelling?3. The series is set during the lead-up to the Caesars Palace fountain jump. How did you decide which real-life events to keep and which moments to fictionalize?4. For readers who may not be familiar with Evel beyond the stunts, what do you hope The Last Gladiator will teach them about who he was as a person?5. The comic promises high-octane action and a modern-day Western feel. Can you walk us through the visual and narrative choices that give the series that unique tone?6. Evel Knievel has inspired movies, documentaries, and countless imitators. What makes comics the right medium to tell this particular story?7. (Fun) If Evel Knievel were still at it today, what stunt do you think he’d attempt just to outdo himself — and how would you put it in the comic?

How do you view the role of levity in darker narratives, and was that hard to weave into the story?****Green Arrow has taken on a grounded, street‑level tone, focusing on character interactions and big‑pharma themes. How did you adapt Ollie’s voice and moral compass to fit that setting while keeping iconic elements intact?**Between writing for Green Arrow, scripting Ultimate Wolverine, and launching News From The Fallout, you’re balancing very different tones and genres. How do you switch creative gears between mainstream superhero work and experimental creator-owned stories?Ultimate Wolverine launched early this year—what fresh angles or emotional truths are you exploring compared to past Wolverine iterations?Your work this year traverses themes of isolation (Fallout), social justice (Green Arrow), and visceral heroism (Wolverine). How are you threading your personal storytelling voice through these varied genres and publishers?Looking back at your 2025 slate so far—what’s been the biggest creative challenge, and which project pushed you most as a writer?Between Otis shooing raccoons in News From The Fallout and Green Arrow’s trick arrows, it seems like you have a knack for writing characters who could survive in the weirdest camping trip imaginable. So: if you had to survive a weekend in the desert with Wolverine, Green Arrow, and Otis—who’s cooking, who’s in charge of the firewood, and who’s most likely to accidentally summon a threat to the camp?
