Segment: Interview with Cody Ziglar!

Cody, what a year of comics and announcements, thank you for being on the AIPT Comics podcast! You’re part of the “Beyond Board” writing crew on ASM, can you walk us through how (and when) you were asked to join the team?
You’re no stranger to writers rooms with your work at Robot Chicken and Rick and Morty season 7, how does writing for comics in a writers room compare to being on the Beyond Board?
What do you think the secret is for Ben dialogue vs. Peter dialogue vs. Miles dialogue? How do they each quip?
ASM 79 and 80 have some insane hallucination sequences. What do these look like in the script - was there any moment where the final page went above and beyond what you expected?
Michael Dowling has crushed on ASM, is there a page that came back that blew you away?
The upcoming What If imagines Miles in a number of different major hero roles. What is it about Miles’ character that makes him work in all of these different settings?
You’re also a gamer, right? I’m assuming you’ve put some hours into Insomniac’s Spider-Man games?
Favorite What If story?
What comics are you reading right now?
