Interview André Lima Araújo about Phenomena: The Golden City of Eyes out September 13

Thanks for being on the AIPT Comics podcast, for folks looking at getting into Phenomena, can you give us the elevator pitch?
I read that you largely began work on this without a script. Was there much back and forth as the story started to take form?
Andre, your scenic work is just so incredibly detailed. How often do you find yourself going back and saying, “Just one more thing?”
The first big spread seems inspired by Toronto, and there’s a lot of real world kind of architecture throughout. Are we going to see more things we almost recognize as the series continues?
How do you approach something like this vs. something more grounded like A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance?
Fans of sci-fi novels, comics, books, and movies typically see the same things done in slightly new ways, how did you approach Phenomena to make it feel all its own?
From a nuts and bolts perspective, how far are the rest of the graphic novels completed?
For fans who pick that up next week, Andre what was your favorite page of art in The Golden City?
Do you have other projects you’d like to talk about today?
