Interview: Reginald Hudlin - writer, producer, director, comics writer!

Reggie Hudlin, a man who needs no introduction, with some incredible projects recently out, out next week like Icon vs. Hardware, and coming soon like the Milestone 30th anniversary special, thank you so much for being on the AIPT comics podcast! To start, what made now the right time for an Icon Vs. Hardware miniseries?
Obviously the very name of the Worlds Collide event has a special meaning to longtime fans of DC and Milestone. No spoilers, but is there any particular reason that title was chosen for this?
Hardware and Icon both have had a hard time convincing the world that they’re heroes. Will throwing down with one another worsen that public perception?
This book does a great job of catching folks up and also moving things along in an intriguing direction. Would you say this is an ideal starting point for new fans?
Whenever I see a writing duo I wonder…did they break up the scripting, or did you do different passes, what was it like working with Leon Chills on this series?
Reggie you’re a director, Icon vs. Hardware movie…when?
We’re going onto year three of Milestone Returns, where do you see Earth M and this corner of DC Comics three years from now?
Milestone 30th Anniversary Special is coming out march 7th, a 96-page Prestige format anthology, can you tell us anything about any stories you’re contributing to this one?
Reggie, you’re a renaissance man working in TV, movies, comics…what else are you juggling outside of talking to press like us? Candy Cane Lane Eddie Murphy February independent spirit awards
Is there a superhero story that’s been in your back pocket you want to tell someday?
