SENTIENT Team Interview With Jeff Lemire & Gabriel Walta!

by 3 Comments

Sentient was one of my favorite comics of 2019, and the TKO Studios sci-fi mini is now a 2020 Eisner nominee for “Best Limited Series.” Creators Jeff Lemire, Gabriel Walta, Steve Wands and collaborators work to create an ambient, isolated space adventure with a mission gone horribly awry, and only children and their onboard artificial intelligence left to guide the vessel safely to a new homeland. It’s a gripping and occasionally heartrending read, with Walta’s gorgeous art and colors deliciously well-suited for the larger TKO Studios release format.

I had the chance to ask Lemire and Walta a variety of questions about the work in the wake of their Eisner recognition, and you’ll find their thoughts on the work below!

When I asked Jonathan Hickman at 2020 C2e2 about writing X-Men Empyre tie-ins he seemed uniquely excited about the storytelling chances the mega event afforded him, and now we can see why in the deliriously fun Empyre: X-Men #1.

Today I’ll answer:

  • How does X-Men tie into Marvel’s Empyre event?
  • What role does Scarlet Witch play in the story, and what does her presence mean for mutant resurrections?
  • What is X-Corp and why does it matter?
