iF Magazine talks with artist Arthur Suydam about Marvel Zombies, and illustrating the cover for the Touch the Dead video game:
iF: So did you think this whole Marvel Zombie craze would be as big as it is?
Suydam: I was the only who thought that the project was going to be huge. I don’t think anyone else gave it a chance and when I heard they were going to break some rules when it came to characters and make some cutting edge things. I thought this has the potential to be huge and if we do a half decent job it would be huge. No one else was giving it a chance and comics reviewers were pooh-poohing the thing and not giving it a chance. It wasn’t until after the third issue that people started thinking this was a good series and that has to be a little bit about the stores and excitement coming from them to find out that the buzz on the series was huge.
Suydam also mentions more zombies projects for Marvel, and Skin Deep, his own project set to come out through Dynamic Forces.
