Creator Interview: Zack Kaplan

Send us Fan Mail This week, Mike and Alex are honored to be joined by writer Zack Kaplan for an exclusive sit-down to talk all things comics! They start by diving deep into Zack's writing process and what goes into planning his comics work given that his books tend to be contained mini-series. Then, the guys jump into Mindset and Masterminds, the two books of Zack's they've covered on the show, examining some of the parallel idea explored in each comic and looking at how project is a reflection of the time it was written. Finally, they discuss some over-arching themes that feel present across all of Zack's work and why those themes, intentional or not, are so important to him. We can't thank Zack enough for spending some time with us, and we can't wait to see what he has coming next (aside from, you know, the THREE books he has currently ongoing as of the time of this release: Only the Savage are Left, The Smart Division, and Kill All Immortals III- you should pick them up!). You can follow Zack at his website as well as on Instagram, Bluesky, and the site formerly known as Twitter.
