It was actually good interested 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:05.280 I said. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.480 They they was using the book like the book dialogue. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:15.000 Niggas not wrong with George dialogue, yes, man, come on, man, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.400 just be honest. That's why he walked away from the bullshit. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.080 Because you're talking ship all y'all do. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.080 I love the word he built, but that dialogue, oh 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.680 now makes me just kind of be like I miss 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:30.560 him a little bit every time I hear over boy, 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.080 every time I hear I hate saying, I'm like, nah, George, 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:41.120 come on, you thought about thought about everywhere? Thought about that, George. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.560 Come on, man. When I see George, like George, come 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.560 on man, what you thinking? Man? Come on man, I can't. 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.400 I can't not do it good because a dialogue to 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:56.360 but that's good and nice. I'm talking about Star Wars 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.679 in general. It was simple. It's fun, which is simple. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:02.840 It's good you. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:08.720 And the dialogue is good. It's actually interesting. Is it's 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.920 Challe challenging all the other stuff. It's tragic. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.000 They try to It's like when you try to be 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.360 smarter than George Lucas, but you try to you overshoot it. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.760 Dumb, that's what. That's what. That's what. That's where it's 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.120 in the ship. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.079 Because like at like dialogue, that's that's that's something. The 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:29.480 worst dialogue I have seen in my life. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:30.679 Man, I'm just being honest. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.800 Nobody can just don't work at times because he made 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.280 it so simple. When you try to over over explain 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.959 simple ship, it just don't work. Random space, you know 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.440 how they got the live factors Star Trek the way 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.240 I mean, there's only live action. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:48.839 Yeah. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.000 I think they need to do Captain Janway so like 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:58.040 a love movie. Yeah, just movie. Yeah, but like Star 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:04.000 Trek you know ye, I don't know. The story is different. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.480 I don't know where to spit. Why who who? Who 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.599 is the audience for this because. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.120 The reason why, the reason why reason watching was the ship. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.240 But it works because they were lost in space. Like 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.920 like that's if you just don't have a movie lost 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.240 in space, I'm not interested in. But that's what made 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.360 the show interesting. But no, wasn't lost in space. So 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.679 that may bore sense and all that stuff. But by 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.439 just more show, if you know, if you understand, you 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.560 know what I'm talking about. By like a show, that's 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.360 what borges like a show, that's what. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:47.040 Is happen They how uh great come the shows. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:53.000 Shout to everybody, stand ups the great show uh and 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.280 shout everybody showed up. The big laugh from the club 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.920 closed the show out. I think it was a crowd, 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.679 had a really the time.

And I said, I've got a pitch in 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.840 from Brian Brian Edward Hill called Illuminati, which is amazing. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.920 It's dealing with the most kind of enduring urban legends 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.040 of our day, the block Iliminnati.

You loved the pitch. 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.120 He was in automatically, you want to get behind the project. 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.360 I called up Dennis. I said, I've got this amazing project. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:54.680 I love you to get on board. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:55.240 What do you think? 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.520 He read the pitch and loved it as well. So 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.000 I had my creative team at that point. And then 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.320 Dennis brought in Bill, his longtime collaborator an Inker, to 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:03.120 come in as her inker. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.320 So we had our team. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.320 Brian is a writer, Dennis as a penciler, and Bill 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.680 is the inker. It's an amazing story. It's about a 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.520 young woman who travels to Los Angeles after the mysterious 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.400 death of her sister, who's a rising hip hop star. 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:19.679 She the woman does not believe her sister died from suicide, 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.359 so she looks into what happened and she uncovers a 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:27.840 really really, really corrupt, deep conspiracy buried in Hollywood. 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.080 So it was like a Hollywood mystery murder mystery kind 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.600 of thing, going, yeah, it's pull from the headlines. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:34.800 You know. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.879 Again we announced the project that they did. He was arrested, 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:38.560 which is kind. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:46.159 Of we didn't do that anything, and that does not 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.680 do with that. That did not prove the existence of 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.639 a luminati at all. That thereic coincidence is that happened. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.320 So we just accept those things. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:56.399 Uh. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:01.600 The ax Axel called me my my former boss at Marvel, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:03.720 so when he was running Marvel, I used to do 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.640 stuff for him whenever he'd ask, of course, as my guys. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.840 When he called and pitched me this thing, he didn't 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.600 even he started telling me, oh, yeah, it's a project 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.920 from from Brian Edward Hill and we really want you 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:16.280 to do it. 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.680 And at the time he said it's called Black Illuminati, 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:20.520 and I said, I'm in. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:27.640 I think I hesitated because It was one of those 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.040 things where I heard the title and I'm like, I 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.399 don't know what this is or whatever it is. 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.440 I just need to be involved. I just need to 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.679 do it. Did it did from you know? He had 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:40.320 me from Hello. 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:46.240 So after I actually read the thing, I really actually 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.359 did commit to doing it, and I called Bill and 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.639 I thought it would be a great project. You know, 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.639 Axel wanted Bill from the beginning, and we always we 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.920 always loved working with Bill. He's one of my best 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.840 friends and a great collaborator with me. So when I 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.159 called him, all I said to him was hey, Black Illuminati. 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:10.800 And he said I'm in just like So that's really 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:11.960 how it happened. Was that easy? 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.280 Speaking about the r style? Is where the information or 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.240 did the inspiration for the art style come from? Where 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:18.000 did all get that from? 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.960 Well, it's my style. Yeah, I was going to say 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.960 it's like his style, right, Yeah, it's. 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.640 Just how I It's just how I draw. I tried 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:31.080 to adjust my style to whatever subject matter is at hand. 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.320 You know, storytelling is a little different. Subject matter is different. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.680
