Segment: Interview: Jeff Parker - Ninjak #1 out July 14

Hi Jeff, thanks for joining us on the AIPT Comics podcast! Ninjak has been in the works for some time, announced way back in July 2020, is it odd talking about a book that’s so long in development, or par for the course in comics?
Ninjak has been rebooted and retooled various times over the years, how are you approaching the character?
With the pandemic’s delay, did you end up tweaking this story more than past tales you’ve written, or did it stay pretty close to your original pitch.?
Can you talk a bit about Javier Pulido’s work, was there a specific page in the first issue that he exceeded your expectations?
What separates Ninjak from other rich and tactful superheroes?
In your opinion, how does Valiant differ from other publishers?
The super spy angle of Ninjak has always been a big draw. Do you have any spy movies or books you look to for inspiration or to get you in the headspace to write Ninjak?
We’re big James Bond fans here, loved your James Bond Origin and recently talked to Ibrahim Moustafa about Bond as well, we must ask, who do you think is the definitive Bond?
Future Quest and Batman 66 were books of yours that we reviewed and greatly enjoyed, do you have a desire to return to either of those projects in the future, or are there other series you’d like to return to some day?
What other projects do you have in the works?
What comics are you reading right now?
