We follow up last episode with the second half of our discussion with writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson - this time we're talking James Bond, John Stewart, and the Incredible Hulk! Plus a meaningful discussion on patriotism, and Anthony & Doc make a pitch to work with PKJ ;)

Creators on the Couch - Phillip Kennedy Johnson 3

• Intro

Superman

• One last question: Metallo giving everything for his sister - where did that idea come from?

James Bond (11:52)

• Based more in Fleming novels vs. films?

Was there a particular Bond you had in mind while writing? What makes him such an enduring character, in light of the constant reboots and takes on him? Admittedly only read first half - could not access God & Country John Stewart (23:12)

• Given your military background, did you gravitate towards John vs. other Lanterns?

Focus on John’s family life - mother with dementia and loss of younger sister Revenant Queen - like her speech style (35:18) Obviously it’s ongoing, but how far out do you have mapped storylines? Incredible Hulk (39:05)

• This story is much more monster-oriented than previous Hulk runs - was this intended to shift away from internal/mental focus like the Ewing run?

Body horror - story and art focus on the pain and effects of transformation What inspired Charlie? Feels like more than just audience surrogate What’s next for you? (52:24) Ending

• Next episodes: Speedball, Deathstroke
