Speaker 5: Actually, you've been in the comic book business for a

14
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 5: long time. You was the former editor in chief of

15
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 5: Marvel Comics. What got you into the comic book world?

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: Well, I got into the comic world on a FLUKEI

17
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 4: I interviewed a DC Comic Books for an editor position.

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: I sent in my resume and the editor called me

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 4: in and said I wanted to meet you.

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: I said, why's this?

21
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: And he says, I read an article he wrote for

22
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: the Daily News about the use of the cannapis leaf

23
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: and hip hop culture. And I'd interviewed the agent and

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 4: the editor chief High Times magazine, and uh, the High

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: Times magazine edited stolen the guy's girlfriend. He had a.

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: Gripe the High Time.

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: He said, I love you. You want to want a job?

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: I said, all right, So I got into DC Comic

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 4: Books at Vertigo.

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: Oh no, so you got a job because somebody stoles

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: my girlfriend.

32
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: Yes, pretty much.

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 6: He never I mean you were qualified, but yeah, yeah, very.

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: I took a big pay cut.

35
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 6: What made you do that, though, because the New York

36
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 6: Daily News you were? Were you working in a newsroom?

37
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 4: I worked as a freelancer, worked at multiple publications, and uh,

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: and I love comic books. I grew up reading comic books.

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: I love them. Amazing art form, as you know, amazingly

40
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: taught me to read, and I just thought I'd have

41
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: an impact, so I went. I went to Vertigo Line,

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: which did an adult oriented material at DC Comic Books,

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: and had a good career there with books like Preacher

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: and one hundred Bullets. And then Marvel came a knocking

45
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: at two thousand and I went to them when they're

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: in bankruptcy and the company was in dire straits. You know,

47
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: I had so much fun. They give me Spider Man,

48
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: the Hulk, what's not to like, you know, do.

49
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: You think comic book is? I guess a form that's

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: that's dying. And the reason I asked it as a kid.

51
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: I know you're from California, but in New York, every

52
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: bodega had comic books. Every store had comic books. When

53
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: I went grocery shopping with my mom, she would go

54
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: get groceries and I go to the comic book section.

55
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: So but now I don't see it as much as

56
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: almost feel like it has to be a destination spot.

57
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: It has to be a Barnes and Nobles, it has

58
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: to be a comic book store.

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: Do you think it's dying?

60
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: And how do you That's a distribution problem. That's not

61
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: a problem with the art form. The art from itself

62
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: is inherently amazing. It's only as limited as your imagination

63
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: and your talent and your guts. So the art form

64
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: is going to evolve. They'll be more digital use of

65
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 4: the medium. So again for me, it's a distribution problem.

66
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: Like you, I met comic books. I read comic books

67
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: because my grandma would pick me up after school, take

68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: me to the dime store, not by comic book off

69
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: the rack, you know, on a Friday. So it's a

70
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: distribution problem. Once you solve that, there's no stopping in.

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 5: The comic book market is projected to be a twenty

72
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 5: one billion dollar business by twenty twenty nine.

73
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: Like it's still making billions of dollars.

74
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, there's digital help or hurt. The reason

75
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: because you know, it's I'm still a guy that.

76
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: Likes to hold the paper man, you know, I mean

77
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 4: it's complementary. I mean what it comes down to is

78
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: like for me, I all my music, I listen to MyPad,

79
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: you know, my MyPhone. I don't own see these anymore.

80
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: But with comic books, I select some things that we

81
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: dig delete. But the stuff I have to put on

82
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: my shelf. You know, you just have to, like, Illuminati.

83
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: How many how many shooks do you have? How many

84
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: comics do you have?

85
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: Me? Too many?

86
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: How much is too many? Just if you could just

87
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: round about oh man.

88
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: Man, uh, probably about two thousand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but

89
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: it's from my own as a kid, you.

90
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: Know, some investments then yeah, yeah, exactly what you.

91
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: Tell your wife by the Yeah, before we get into

92
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: a w A and the Illuminati, tell them some of

93
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: the things you did at Marble, some of the groundbreaking

94
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 5: things that people will remember.

95
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: Well, the thing I'm most proud of is that in

96
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, I'm hip hop head, and for me, I

97
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: was just really tired of seeing the lack of hip

98
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: hop and comic books when hip hop is giving so

99
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: much love to the forum, like all from Green Lantern

100
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 4: to Johnny Blaze, iron Man, you name it, ghost Face.

101
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: To see all this stuff happening in you know, hip

102
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: hop giving so much love to Marvel comic books and

103
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 4: Movel being silent, I thought was inexcusable. So I did

104
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 4: the hip Hop Variant Program where we did one hundred

105
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: and twenty eight covers. They were based on classic hip

106
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: hop album covers the span thirty years, everything from like

107
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: Ultimagnetic and CS and school E D the og Stuff

108
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: to Future and Drake, and every single cover was an

109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: homage to a classic album cover done by an amazing artist.

110
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: And it just showed how many people drawing and writing

111
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: comic books your bobbing had hip hop when you're doing this,

112
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 4: not the Beatles.

113
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: That's dope. Yeah.

114
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 5: And also, you know they used to call you a

115
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 5: diversity superhero. You are diversity superhero at Marvel Marvel, and

116
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 5: during your five years at Marvel, correct me what I'm

117
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: wrong about?

118
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: You created, miss Marvel.

119
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: There were a lot of things involved. Mass Morales might

120
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 4: watch Kamala Khan The Female Black Panther, and we did that.

121
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: Everyone said, who wants that that?

122
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 6: I remember seeing that?

123
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when I did the Female Black Panther,

124
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: people were like, what's it about? Who cares about that?

125
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: Now it's a whole movie. It saved the franchise. Save

126
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: the franchise. I mean, what's not to like about a

127

130
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: I don't agree. I don't believe that Uncle Sam in

Speaker 4: Mexican kid and I'm looking at the superheroes. Where's the

160
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: Mexican superhero?

161
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Thereeight none?

162
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: I like Black Panther the most. Why because he had

163
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: the best costume on Earth. Yeah, I was disappointed when

164
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: he was black. I wanted to be Mexican.

165
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: And you signed write the Black Panthers.

166
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: Serious, Yeah, Reggie Hudlin before him with Black Panther for

167
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: six years. He reinvigated the character. And then and then

168
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: Tannhessee Coats came on and did an amazing run as well.

169
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Also was a legend. Yeah, happened.

170
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: I wanted.

171
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask, since you created a lot of

172
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: these characters, do you get I guess, equity in these characters,

173
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: like when these because like I mean you you created

174
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: these and like you said, some of these characters are

175
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: saving the franchise, making movies and all that.

176
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't say I created them.

177
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say I created them so much as I

178
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 4: was involved in their creation. In the case of the

179
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: Black Panther Shuri, Reggie Hudland said to me, let's pick

180
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: things up, Let's put Cherry in the costume. I said,

181
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: I'm down, Let's do this. It makes perfect sense to

182
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: us to do this. It's about time we did that.

183
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 4: Amedias Chow was the same thing. I thought, how about

00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: we have a new Hulk optimistic fun not you know

185
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: gloom and Doom Banner amidis cho you have a creak.

186
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: So for me it was a necessity. I want to

187
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: see characters like myself when I was a kid, So

188
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: I can imagine people want to see themselves seeing Spider

189
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: Man peel back his mask and you see a black faces,

190
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:13,920

Speaker 6: what's the.

258
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: Well the concept for him wasn't so much rooted in

259
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: hip hop as the conspiracy theory. He wanted to write

260
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: a book about the conspiracy theory supernatural murder mystery, and

261
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: again it has to be set in the world of

262
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: hip hop out of necessity. So again that's really where

263
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: it came from, not so much inspired by nos or

264
