Newsarama: Justina, Morbius has a strange sort of cultural presence at the moment.
Justina Ireland:Incredibly fun.
I mean, it’s comics, it’s always supposed to be fun.
But why are you giving those people power over you?
Keep it moving, and spend time on the things that spark joy.
I mean, hes kind of the OG vampire.
At least for me.
I knew Morbius backstory before I ever read a single page of Dracula.
Morbius is tragic and the epitome of the morally gray hero.
Sometimes hes on the side of good, sometimes not, but most importantly hes always on his side.
And I like that about him.
All Im saying is you cant have a massive vampire driven event and leave Dr. Mike on the sidelines.
Morbius and Spider-Man have been both enemies and reluctant allies in the past.
What’s their dynamic like this time?
No spoilers, but as usual their Facebook status is “it’s complicated.”
You’re working with Marcelo Ferreira, who’s drawn his share of Spider-Man in the past.
How has it been working with an artist of his caliber and experience with the subject matter?
I mean, I basically just stay out of the way, which is honestly my default position.
It’s important to know your lane, and I’m a writer, not an artist.
Marcelo knows his craft.
I just admire the pretty.
Real talk though: just getting to spend time crafting a comic is enough.
I definitely thought I’d be into a third dysfunctional marriage by now, not writingMarvel comics.
So every day is a gift.
Blood Hunt is a big event, with a bunch of tie-ins.
How do you make your mark in an overall event with this many issues and stories?
I always get a little overwhelmed at crossover events, and that includes writing as well as reading.
But if you’re like me, you just read the issues that feature your favorite characters.
Next time, I suppose.
What do you want readers to know about Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt?
It’s gonna be a blast.
And it’s cheaper than a latte!
So why not give it a spin?
Stay up to date on all thenew Spider-Man comicsMarvel has planned for release.
