We have a place where we just group chat and organize ourselves.

So I wanted to make sure that I picked up as many threads as I could, but also I did something that was very me because I didn’t want to do my version of what they would do.Īnd for me, New Mutants-we’ve been talking the X-writers talk all the time, we talk all the time, all day. They really did a lot of fun stuff, with the New Mutants and their kind of various casts. In terms of writers on a book, I’m just gonna put that out there right now. So it’s very hard to follow Jonathan Hickman and Ed Brisson. So could you you talk a little bit about what your approach coming into the title was? It was the first series that I was able to follow, able to go back and collect back issues on and when I saw that you came on to the book, it just it made my heart sing. You know, I have to say that when they announced that you were coming on to New Mutants, it really- New Mutants was the book that brought me into the X-Men proper. It’s got a lot of buzz on that Twitter-verse. Thank you, thank you, so kind, so kind.ĭK: So, New Mutants. But yeah, I have the honor and the privilege of speaking today with Dani. I too, on occasion, will pop off on Twitter, but mostly now I’m just trying to retweet animal pictures and stuff.


My name is Vita Ayala, and I write comic books. And today I have the honor, the privilege and the true joy of being joined by Vita Ayala. I go by at trans_rage on Twitter where you can see me popping off an unreasonable amount about something or other on any given day. Of course, I am Dani Kinney, one of the writers here at WWAC. ĭani Kinney: WWAC-ers and WUH-WAC-ers alike, thank you for joining us today. So, of course, I could not pass up the opportunity to talk more with Vita about this issue, the New Mutants title, their creative co-conspirators, and what it all means for the queer and brown agenda that Vita continues to champion. Ayala’s writing and Reis’ art make this issue a masterpiece which will likely be one of the stand-out milestones from this era of comics for many. This issue is an unfolding promise to tackle concepts such as identity, bodily-agency, and belonging in ways that no X-Men story has really done before. Vita Ayala and Rod Reis’ New Mutants #15 is an issue that marked a personal turning point for the new Krakoan paradigm in what we can expect the stories of this era to tackle.
