Segment: Interview: Primer DC OGN - Thomas Krajewski and Jennifer Muro - SPOILERS!

How long has Primer been in the works from idea to creation? What sparked the original pitch?
This world is vibrant, colorful, and most notably more kind than most depictions of Gotham, can you tell us a little bit about the creation of Ashley's view of Gotham and how you pushed those ideas in the narrative and the art?
Primer tells a story that’s very accessible to younger readers but also relevant to older ones. Can you speak about the creation of a cross-generational story like this?
Primer’s powers are those that are so full of life and creativity I could see a kid come up with them, but dropping after the crayons run out, what other media or life events inspired this story?
About midway through the book we see an extensive list of all the colors and their associated powers, one notable reference is the color Scarlet allowing Ashley to make illusions, are there any other secret references or nods there?
When it comes to color Theory how would Ashley Rayburn do?
Themes around adoption, abuse, a parent who is incarcerated, and finding a new home can be heavy, what lead you to use these for your story?
Many folks are struggling to keep their creative juices flowing right now, do you have any tricks or means of getting your creativity flowing?
What did you want to be when you were little?
What comics are you reading right now?
We would be remiss to not mention Primer’s cliffhanger ending. Is there already a larger universe or story in the works? In an ideal world does Primer become a weekly comic or do you think it will always work best as a graphic novel?
