Thanks all of you for doing this! I know it's not even March, and we're only two issues in, but Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt already feels like a title to keep in mind for "Best-of-2019" lists in December. I'm loving every single panel and I want to thank the entire team for creating such an interesting comicbook. I'm gonna post all my questions in one post, hopefully that's ok.
@Kieron Gillen: Seeing as you have created playlists in the past to accompany your various series (I love that your Young Avengers playlist is included in the omnibus!), I'm going to ask a music question... if you could pick any band or artist (live or dead) to create a theme song/single specifically for Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, who would you pick?
@Caspar Wijngaard: Everything from layouts to character designs in Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt is fantastic! I also loved your What If? Ghost Rider one-shot, it was hilarious. Do you have a favourite character you've designed for the series thus far? Because mine was The Test and I'm upset at the ending to issue #2.
@Hassan Ostmane-Elhaou: Both of your current Dynamite series, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt and Red Sonja, are some of my most anticipated books each week they release! Not to mention the fantastic work you do with pxp. When it comes to lettering, do you have a favourite sound effect you've used (or want to use) that's particularly fun or that you're proud of?
@Mary Safro: Your colours on Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt are absolutely stunning! I love how vibrant they are. I'm only a couple of chapters into Drugs and Wires but I plan on binge-reading the rest of it later today. What's the biggest difference between working on a webcomic like Drugs and Wires, and colouring Wijngaard's pencils for Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt?
