Chris Roberson is the acclaimed sci-fi novelist and publisher of MonkeyBrain Books. He has recently been delving into writing comics starting with critically acclaimed Fables universe as a fill-in writer on Jack of Fables and writer on the recently concluded minseries Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love. He's now turning his attentions to creator-owned work with the series iZombie with artist Mike Allred. Issue 1 hits stores May 5th with the usual Vertigo first issue price of $1.00. I had a chance to talk to Roberson about some of his recent work and what we can expect from his new series.
Ryan Haupt (RH): Before we dive into iZombie I’d like to ask a few questions about your most recent miniseries Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love. How did that project come about?
Ryan Haupt tweets back and forth with comic creators and then calls them conversations. One time he was drunk and talked with James Robison about SCIENCE then put it on the internet but this is his first text interview for iFanboy. Be gentle, Chris wasn't.
You guys are working my up into a frenzy! Can’t wait for tomorrow!
er… "me up", oh how I wish iFanboy had an edit button.
This is going to be great. I’m really hoping to get that Cooke variant!
Everything about this looks so ridiculously good.
I enjoyed Cinderella. iZombie looks interesting.
My shop was out of Hellboy in Mexico, so I picked up iZombie. I look forward to reading it.
