EXTREMEARAMA: In Three Parts

Newsarama conducted a massive, three-part interview with Bloodstrike’s Tim Seeley, Prophet’s Brandon Graham and Glory’s me about all things Extreme.

Here’s an excerpt:

Nrama: What about the rest of you guys? Were you into the Extreme books back when they were first being published?

Keatinge: Oh hell yeah. I had a similar situation to Tim, where I was just about the right age when Image first launched. I discovered those guys through their Marvel work, and when they left to form Image, I didn’t even understand there were different companies – I was just, “Uh, this is a bunch of awesome stuff.”

And I glommed on to pretty much everything – like Tim was saying, between me and my friend, we had pretty much the entire friggin’ line. And the Extreme line was a big part of that. With Youngblood, there was a specific run — #6 through 11, I think – that was pretty friggin’ awesome.

And then Alan Moore’s stuff revitalized my interest in that – Supreme and Youngblood and Judgment Day, and even his short Glory run. I loved Stephen Platt on Prophet, that blew me away, I still love those comics. I was definitely a huge fan going in. When Eric asked me to be part of this last November, I was like, “Anything you want. I’m all in.”
