Bleeding Cool interview

I was honored to be interviewed by Dan Wickline of Bleeding Cool, the venerable comics blog whose roots go all the way back to the Usenet in 1993 (coincidentally, the year in which Fandemonium is set). Wickline was obviously highly familiar with the novel and asked some incisive questions; hopefully my responses were halfway intelligent.

One of the things I said: “In Fandemonium the superheroic transformation — the gamma bomb explosion, the radioactive spider bite, the shedding of mundane outer clothing in a convenient storeroom or phone booth to reveal the spectacular champion hidden underneath — is a metaphor for growing up. All the characters need to transcend unevolved versions of themselves and transform into the superheroes of their own lives.”
