    Thank YOU so much for having me! Shoutout to Spencer for setting it up. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time out of their days to send in such fantastic and fun questions! I hope to see you all later for the stream on the official Bounding into Comics YouTube channel!

    The Soskas may be able to answer that more thoroughly than I; however, given that I studied it, I can offer this nugget: on screen, you want character dialogue to feel organic, and like two characters are having a genuine back-and-forth, as opposed to it being like a Pokémon battle. There's a...

    Oh, man, nothing that I can particularly discuss at the moment (NDAs and all). But there is one project in particular (and it's not mine, to be clear) that I am over the moon for, and I'm confident the fans will be too. Stay tuned!

    I can neither confirm nor deny Cedric's involvement in Zephyr's Blue-Shift Super Suit. But it does look pretty official and professional, doesn't it? I will say that the Blue-Shift suit is definitely not his first one. I'm a Spider-Man fan, so we're gonna have some fun along the way to truly...

    Working at the Rippaverse has afforded me the absolute blessing and privilege of chatting face-to-face with Chuck Dixon. I've had the chance to pick his brain a number of times, and while I think fans should check out his Ask Chuck Dixon show on YouTube to glean wisdom directly from the source...

    I can neither confirm nor deny this... NDA.

    Hahaha. Yes, Zephyr will have names for techniques. Yes, I already have them written down. Yes, he will say them aloud at times. And absolutely yes, people will look at him crossly for it. I find calling out attacks in anime and manga hilariously fun, and oftentimes cool. But it's incredibly...

    That's an interesting read of the scene! That's actually one of Trinity's cheer outfits for that school year! You'll find out more about the other female student when you read Tryouts, but you haven't seen the last of her! As for whether or not there's anything Exceptional about North Florespark...

    This was done to merely lean into the humor of the scene, which will become clear when you see it in its full context, along with the words in the panel. I told Edu to really ham up the visuals, and I love how it turned out, especially when Jason narrates over it in the trailer—"Comedic panic"...

    Ironically enough, I hadn't considered that connection being made by anyone, hahaha. It's actually not a wolf at all on Zephyr's shirt in Tryouts, but rather another canine that is the logo for an athletic wear and equipment brand I created for our universe.

    Those are just simple buttons on Zeph's backpack, in terms of function—nothing deeper to them than that.

    This is a crucial misstep that so many long-running series make all the time. In short, have the benefit of both hindsight and foresight. The first script I wrote for him is now his second full arc. That gave me a target to shoot for in terms of both knowing where I needed to organically get him...

    Sparks and bolts, Joshua...hahaha. Thank you for all of your questions. In the interest of time, some of these will be quick-hits. 1) I am a self-admitted Chuck Dixon fanboy, so virtually everything he writes is my new favorite part. That said, I love when he manages to insert some proper humor...

    This question was always going to come up sooner or later, hahaha. I've spoken extensively about power-scaling, the importance of it when building an expanding universe, and how easily you can break that delicate balance if you let a speedster run away with it. With that in mind, yes, Zephyr...

    There are several characters who, while we're still in our infancy as a publisher and growing universe, have had significant growth over the course of the stories told. However, at least from the audience's perspective, I think that the character who has had a great deal more depth revealed to...

    He does indeed! There's one member in particular of the Florespark super-cop team whom Zephyr greatly looks up to, and that will get played with in the stories to come, should I get the chance to tell them! He thinks he's a pretty super man.

    A great many of our fans keep pointing out the "bulbs" on Zephyr's Blue-Shift super suit in the promotional art! I will say that these energy nodes do not, in fact, charge up Zeph's super-speed. The suit itself is actually borne out of the technological limitations of those that he'll wear...

    I have so many films that I love, and a lot of them rotate in and out of a Top 5 or 10 list for me. Off the top of my head, and in no particular order: - The Amazing Spider-Man - Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - The Last Samurai - Jurassic World As for Zephyr, none of those exist in his...

    Awesome question! I feel like this is something that every creator has a different answer for. When creating Zephyr, aka Blue-Shift, I knew immediately that I wanted to create a speedster, having been a fan of Velocity, Quicksilver, Accel, Doc Rocket, and the Flash for decades, so I knew which...

    Thanks for your question! The balance between fantasy and reality in fiction often comes down to a few things: 1) The standard your universe operates off of 2) The type of story you're trying to tell 3) The setting and characters you're using All of these things, among others, will coalesce to...
