Boulet Brothers takeover Heavy Metal on October 27th issue #311To start, how did this Halloween takeover start and how long has it been in the works?Boulets! You’ve done a wild supervillain challenge on Dragula and now you’ve set your sights on Heavy Metal! What are your backgrounds with comics? Is this an after-lifelong love for you?Steve, how did you approach balancing out the creatives you chose telling these stories, many of whom are making their comics debut? (Alaska, Katya, Danhausen)There’s a pulpy scrappiness to these stories. Fans who like Heavy Metal for its graphic nature will dig these stories but, I must ask, was there anything you couldn’t do or show?It’s so fun to have you two playing the kind of Cain and Abel in this house of mystery. How was it getting to play Crypt-Keepers for this issue? And did you have input on designing your fabulous looks in each tale?I’m so into your story, “the Vault of Saumagotha.” It’s like we pick up on this like it’s issue 75 of a long-running series and you two are arcane superheroes! Do you have a big backstory in your heads for your comic alter egos? Will we see this version of the Boulet Brothers again?Steve! Switching gears to an entirely different universe, Darkhold Alpha just dropped. How was it getting to dive into the horrific side of Marvel?Boulets! What can we expect from Dragula Season 4 (premieres Oct. 19 on Shudder)?You also have your own podcast, Creatures of the Night! What draws you to that format, and do you have any favorite episodes?What are you all reading right now?
