Interview: Thomas Jane about The Lycan (with a story co-written by David James Kelly and art by Diego Yapur), issue #2 out April 1st

Thomas, you’ve described The Lycan as “Aliens, set in a castle, with werewolves.” That’s an amazing hook—how did that core concept come together, and what made it the perfect story for Renegade Entertainment’s first comic?
Mike, how did you approach scripting this series? Were there any unique challenges in translating a concept that started with Thomas and David James Kelly into something that fit the comics medium?

Characters & Themes

Horror often reflects deeper themes—survival, fear of the unknown, or even human nature itself. What themes are at play in The Lycan*, and how do they set it apart from other werewolf stories?*

Art & Visual Storytelling

Diego Yapur’s art is stunning—his work captures both action and atmosphere beautifully. What was it like collaborating with him, and what qualities did he bring to the world of The Lycan*?*
Tim Bradstreet’s cover work is iconic. How did he get involved, and what made him the perfect fit to help define the visual identity of this series?

Publishing & Future Plans

Thomas, you’ve now stepped into the role of editor. How has that experience been for you, and has it changed how you approach storytelling?
This book has been years in the making, with setbacks and new opportunities along the way. Now that it’s finally releasing through Comixology Originals, what excites you most about how readers will experience The Lycan*?

Bonus Fun Question:

If you were trapped in a castle with a werewolf for one night and could only bring three items to help you survive, what would they be?
