Heading into a year of Alien, Symbiotes, and Superman, how do you approach the page with so many universes in mind?What do you think is the key to the lasting appeal of the Alien franchise? Why has it managed to intrigue audiences on the screen and the page for 4 decades?We know there is a Star Wars Story group that checks stories, is there an Alien Story group?On that same note, it was awesome seeing Bishop in the first issue of Alien. Were there any characters that you were told were off-limits? What is the collaboration process like with Salvador Larroca?Headlining Extreme Carnage Alpha, can you talk a little bit about this project, are you the ringleader so to speak?Do you have a favorite Symbiote?I’m not a betting man, but you must have pondered what an Alien vs. Symbiote story would look like. Or for that matter, a mega alien battle between Superman, Alien, and Carnage?  Who do you have coming out on top?Are there any other projects you’d like to discuss or plug today?Off-Topic Top Shelf - Home Schooling, Lifting, Reading for research
