Everything I spell is a thriller . I attempt to write a Romance language ? There are drained body by the terminal of Chapter 1 . And I ’m obsessed with the “ haunted house in quad ” genre — sure , Alien , but also Stanislaw Lem ’s Solaris and Invincible . Truly , in KO’d space , nobody can learn you scream . I ’m just getting to do a lot of things with this miniseries I ’ve always desire to stress out / play with , and pack it chock - full of cliffhangers and “ oh prick ! ” moments … as well as making a few shamelessly late - cut Archie references .
I have a expectant love for all the Archieverse characters and their account — as anyone who ’s foot up Archie vs Predator I or II will know — and wow , I did a flock in AvP , but I never managed to loop the Pussycats in . So it ’s wonderful to have the opportunity to focus on the troika and their friends and frenemies in this mini . I ’ve spent a heck of a lot of clock time around bands — I directed music videos for ten years , and even now I keep test to leave rock n ’ roll but I always get pulled back in : I ’ve just worked on comics report for Slipknot , Megadeth and Amon Amarth . So tackle the drama of a touring band is very intimate territory … except this prison term , the little girl do n’t get a shitty avant-garde or a posh tourbus , they get a starship .
That enthusiasm extend to artist Devaki Neogi , co - Godhead ofCurb Stompfrom BOOM ! Studios , bringing the Energy Department necessitate to get the hottest band in the Milky Way on a cosmic tour … while still taking time to pose for photo with every fan . Since reader ca n’t hear the titulary band for themselves , the chore of selling their inherent radness falls to Neogi alone ( with assistance from colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Jack Morelli , of class ):
I am so thrilled to add to the making of Josie & The Pussycats in Space ! It ’s a sport and entertaining narration that is built around the spirit of the pussycats as a banding and as a team . While work on the artwork I felt like one of the roadies who traveled with the stria in their wild , wild journey and got to experience it with them . It ’s got grapheme , humor , action and great storytelling at its heart . I trust the readers relish the book as much I enjoyed working on it !
