So I am a contributing member of an Infinity-the-game themed podcast called “White Noise”. I write short stories for them (both free ones and paid), and I occasionally get behind the mic to talk with notable Infinity personalities… great gamers, or sharp strategists, or interesting people.
Tomorrow, I’m going to have the chance to talk to the author and artist team behind the newest Infinity graphic novel, “Betrayal”. Not a direct sequel to the earlier graphic novel/manga (let’s not get into the discussion about if/why those two things are different), the previews of Betrayal look great and the writer is the same from the previous comic (Victor Santos). The artist, Agustin Graham Nakamura, is different from last time but seems to have adopted the same artistic style as the previous edition very well… although sadly I didn’t manage to get my own copy secured before the interview, so a bit of the interview will be baseless speculation.
As a scientist, I’m okay with a bit of baseless speculation, as long as it eventually is replaced by factual extrapolation, of course.
Anyway! I’m excited because I get to talk to two industry professionals who are about the same age as me (a year or two older, I believe) who have been working in the industry their entire lives rather than code-switching twelves years after they entered the workforce. The language barrier is hopefully going to be small… they’re both Spanish-speaking primarily, as far as I know (Nakamura in particular is fascinating to me since he’s Argentina-Japanese living in Brazil… fascinating!), and my Spanish is awful. I’m usually okay with Spanglish, and we’ll see how it goes!
Either way, it should be an interesting talk! I sent my questions along to them already, so hopefully they have a chance to prepare some interesting answers!
I’ll report back on Wednesday about how it goes… fingers crossed!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
