AIPT Comics Podcast: Jordan Morris talks ‘Amazing Venom,’ Boomerang and ‘Spider-Versity’
Jordan Morris returns to the AIPT Comics Podcast this week to talk about his increasingly packed comics slate, including the upcoming Amazing Venom. Morris digs into how Luciano Vecchio’s red-and-blue Venom design evolved into a new 616 character, why Boomerang was ultimately chosen to bond with the symbiote, and the appeal of turning one of Spider-Man’s lovable D-list scumbags into a Venom.
We also look back at Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity, including Norman Osborn’s questionable motives for training the next generation of Spider-heroes, writing the different voices and quips of its large cast, and why Spider-Gwen became a particular favorite for Morris to write. Morris also talks Predator: Bloodshed, his approach to juggling multiple monthly projects, and plenty more from his busy year in comics. Also, if you liked signed comics, buy all of Amazing Venom in advance, signed by Morris, here.
