In this week’s episode of Off Panel, writer Al Ewing returns to chat about his busy dance card at Marvel and beyond. Ewing discusses where he’s at in Immortal Hulk, how Alex Ross’ covers guide his work, the hammer issues, the political tones and anger of the book, continuity, what he’s going for in Guardians of the Galaxy, unifying cosmic Marvel, structure in superhero comics, how different co-writing Empyre has been versus other co-writing projects, his upcoming BOOM! series We Only Find Them When They’re Dead, why he wanted to go creator-owned, why BOOM!, karaoke faves, and more.

You can find Ewing on Twitter and his work in Immortal Hulk, Guardians of the Galaxy, Empyre and the upcoming We Only Find Them When They’re Dead.
