Aaron and Mark Verheiden spoke to Byron O’Neal from The Comic Book Yeti podcast to discuss their new comic BOREALIS. There are 3 comic books in the series. Issue #1 is already out. Issue #2 comes out next week (Jan 17) and Issue #3 is out on Feb 21, 2024. Then all 3 comics will be put together in a hardcover book coming out in July 2024.
This is a really great interview. Comic books aren’t really my thing but I found this to be a REALLY interesting interview (Byron is great at his job) and I learned a lot of things about the comic and their process. Stay until the end where Aaron cryptically discusses what he has coming up work wise. I can’t wait until we can tell you all about it.
Description: What do you get when two old Battlestar Galactia alumni get together to make a comic book. Turns out, not at all what you might expect. I got a chance to catch up with Mark Verheiden and Aaron Douglas to hear all about their new Dark Horse Comics project, Borealis. I was initially drawn to it from the native and supernatural elements alone but this is a big story with lots of overlapping narratives. Pulling in the talented team of Cliff Richards to handle the art duties and colored deftly by Guy Major (both of which have names one might find in credits from Airwolf or something,) this is a book that comes off as surprisingly urban given its very remote setting in rural Alaska. I honestly have no idea how they are going to wrap the initial arc up in three issues but I’m sticking around to find out. Issue 2 is out in stores next week.
