CATCHING UP WITH ROBERT KIRKMAN – NEWSARAMA
CATCHING UP WITH ROBERT KIRKMAN
by Vaneta RogersRobert Kirkman’s manipulating a lot of worlds right now. The guy’s got
his fingers in everything from the Ultimate Universe to the “616″ to
the Image-verse to a couple different zombie-verses.Fans of his work know that he’s introducing new characters and killing others off so fast it’s hard to keep up. In Ultimate X-Men,
Kirkman’s finishing up a story arc that introduced Ultimate Cable and a
slew of other characters and promises to end with the death of a major
character and big changes for the series. In Walking Dead, his
new “Governor” character became one of the most villainous new
characters introduced in 2006, but the guy was served a brutal cup of
comeuppance in the series’ last issue.As if that weren’t enough, his new Irredeemable Ant-Man
series for Marvel has brought a new list of characters into the fold as
it plays with the idea of a hero that not only doesn’t fit the ideal
for superheroes, but is turning out to be a complete jerk, using the
costume more as a scam than for any honorable reasons.Then there’s his Invincible series for Image, where the
lead character has a brand new half-brother and is constantly juggling
threats as large as a race of aliens who want to take over the world
and as small as his girlfriend hanging out with some other guy. And the
success of the comic has given Kirkman another role to play as he
writes the script for an Invincible movie for Paramount Pictures.Add to this his upcoming work on more Marvel Zombies and a
rumored project with Todd McFarlane, and Kirkman’s image as a
mild-mannered writer starts looking like the disguise of a closet comic
book mogul.In an attempt to get a handle on what’s happening in all these “verses”
he controls and where they’re all going next, Newsarama sat down with
Kirkman to play a little catch up and find out if all the power’s gone
to his head yet.
