Spider-Gwen_Vol_2_3_Latour_Variant

A special “point one” (or “point three”, but who’s counting?) episode where Brian got to talk with JASON LATOUR, the writer and co-creator of Radioactive Spider-Gwen!

We covered a *lot* of ground in this episode, diving right into the book’s themes of family, identity, and of course, power and responsibility. Jason shares his take on writing a popular female lead character, the inspirations behind her supporting cast, and the positive and not-so-positive reactions that he’s encountered about the series. We also got a behind-the-scenes peek at how both the Spider-Women crossover and Gwen’s upcoming annual came together, along with some tantalizing hints about the future…

And while it’s a bit of a detour for our podcast, we couldn’t pass up the chance to discuss Jason’s work as artist and co-creator on the Eisner-nominated Southern Bastards (which just wrapped its “Homecoming” arc and has a bit more in common with Spider-Gwen than you might think). That part of our conversation happens around 1:08:00 so you can skip ahead to around 1:27:30 if you’d like to, although you should stick around for the first minute or two to hear Jason’s lost (and hilarious) bootleg concept for an alternate Spider-Man…

This was a great and truly in-depth conversation with a talented creator and a good dude  – we hope that you enjoy it!

  • Steve Ditko’s Mr. A (referenced in Spider-Gwen vol. 1, #1)
  • Tiger Force! A Jack Kirby deep cut from Radioactive Spider-Gwen #7
