Nick Roche Interview - Our Fascination for Kup.
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 5:47 amTransformers IDW comic book artist, Nick Roche, recently sat down with interviewer, Chris Ryall, from IDWeek to discuss his popular Transformers: Spotlight Kup. Nick describes the character selection process along with his grim storyboard ideas. Nick also explains his unique rendering style for the book, which added to Kup's character and overall theme.
Chris Ryall had this to stay:
Roche had an idea for the character, who was last used to any degree of prominence in the ‘80s Transformers animated movie. His proposal was sound, and we agreed to let him take a shot at “auteur” status on this one. The story is not only grimmer than many Transformers titles, but it also features a unique art style that reflects Kup’s damaged state of mind (and you Outback fans might want to approach this story with a wary eye, too). It’s probably the closest we’ve come to offering a “Transformers zombies” tale.
