To start, Napalm Lullaby…what a killer title. How did you come up with it?This series plays around with theocracy and societal decay, what made these themes important for this series?You and Bengal have worked together before, what made them right for this project?While this is a sci-fi story with some incredible world building going on, it also opens with a flashback that features an origin that has a familiar ring to a certain superhero. Is this where the bud of the story germinated for you?There’s some high-tech sci-fi stuff going on in Napalm Lullaby, do you ever craft future tech with the thought this could be our future, or is it about achieving something in the story more than anything?There are some sexual scenes in the first issue, which reminded me of the UCLA report saying Gen Z wants less sex in TV and movies, and comics tend to lack them, where do you stand when it comes to sexual themes in their comics?I understand you just signed a 3-year deal with Image and your company Giant Generator. Aside from say, number of titles released, is there a goal you’re trying to reach by the end of the 3 years, or a credo you follow with each project?
