The Moment with Kieron Gillen
Welcome to The Moment, a new video interview series on SKTCHD with a simple premise: Creators join me to talk about The Moment they knew four of their biggest projects were going to work, whether that’s creatively, commercially, or some mix of both. It’s an easy idea, but the hope was it would act as a jump off into something far more complex and interesting.
The hopes were fulfilled in the first episode, as writer Kieron Gillen joins to share the moment he knew four comics from his career — each of which I picked — were going to work. Those comics were:
- Journey into Mystery, with Stephanie Hans, Doug Braithwaite, Pasqual Ferry, and more
- The Wicked + The Divine, with Jamie McKelvie, Matt Wilson, and Clayton Cowles
- Darth Vader, with Salvador Larroca, Edgar Delgado, and Joe Caramagna
- Die, with Stephanie Hans and Clayton Cowles
Gillen takes viewers inside that moment, exploring when he realized these comics were going to work as well as they did, before I ask one follow-up question for each. It’s a very good time, with great insight from Gillen as he talks about these amazing comics.
You can watch it here or on YouTube. Oh, and while you’re at it, make sure to subscribe to the SKTCHD YouTube channel, which will be getting Shorts posted from this episode throughout the week and more in the future. Also, the goal for this is to be a monthly series, and with my guest for the next episode already booked, we’re in good shape for that. So, stay tuned for more of The Moment!
