ComiCon, the co-creators of the upcoming Isola from Image Comics
and part of the team behind DC's Gotham Academy - Brenden Fletcher
and Karl Kerschl - talk their creative partnership and what their
new book is all about. They talk their longtime friendship, mutual
interests, how they work together, how Isola's been developed,where
inspiration for the project struck, interest in stories that mesh
the natural world with the developed world, creative freedom,what
made Image the right fit for the book, how they picked the format
of the book, the influence the video game Dark Souls has on Isola,
the give and take of how they work, what the Image Expo experience
was like, and more. Their book isn't coming for a while now, but
this conversation will give you plenty of reasons to be excited for
it.
Important note: Karl speaks first, Brenden second, just in case
you're wondering who is who.
