Once & Future #16

[laughing_tree]

I remember the week Once & Future 1 came out, and being in the pub with Ram V. He’d just read it, and noted that all those interviews where I said it wasn’t really a particularly political book? Kieron! You were totally lying! Well, kinda? I was trying to ensure that no-one came to it expecting a Joe Sacco book. Speaking to my own canon, it’s doesn’t have the societal weight of something like Three. It’s very much a 2000AD type of political energy. It’s mainly giggling. But it’s giggling angrily. -- Kieron Gillen

I'm getting some Dr.McNinja energy from the armed guards.

It's interesting how Kieron avoids the usual fashy implications of secret police people who act with zero public accountability in this story. Mainly that the less ignorant people are, the more dangerous the threat is, so they can't really inform the public.

I feel like Kieron Gillen has a different concept of giggling than I do.
