Christopher Jones discusses FutureDude’s Parallel Man series, transmedia, and working on Batman ‘66.
Den of Geek: Talk to me about assembling this creative team.
Whose baby is this story and how collaborative has the process been to build this?
I say just but thats been enough to keep me busy for the last several months!
That left plenty of design work for me to do characters, uniforms, props, and locations.
What are the benefits of this aggressive approach?The buzzword that FutureDude likes to use is Transmedia.
The Futurists and the Ascendancy, whats at the core of these opposing sides?
The Ascendancy is an empire of 12 parallel versions of Earth.
Its left them on a permanent war footing and theyve never seen the social progress weve enjoyed.
Why was it important to ground this, somewhat, in reality with our actual political leaders?
Our version of parallel worlds is one of divergent timelines.
Whats the significance of Dr. Morgans reading materials?
It seems like there is a lot of effort to highlight those even in the background.
What can you tell me about Atlas and why he/it is so vital to Morgans mission?
How are Nick and Nicholas going to get along when they align?
Not well at first.
But circumstances will force both men to change.
What inspired the look ofParallel Man?
Specifically some of these alt worlds?
So we have dino-men riding and domesticating more bestial species of dinosaurs.
This is a series that could go anywhere the possibilities are really endless.
Gamma One is the parallel Earth dumping ground for the Ascendancy.
I cant speak for anyone else but for me it was all pleasure and no pain.
It also wasnt anything new.
Most of the guided-view stuff for the digital version is put together by the in-house team at DC Comics.
Parallel Man #1debuts on October 8th at a comic shop near you.
