If you want an example - the whole assassination attempt on the Five is also an explanation of the nature of Krakoan resurrection for those who don’t know it already. The structure of that first issue is absolutely made to walk you through the status quo, while simultaneously making everything explode. The hard stuff is engineering the momentum you describe, while also explaining everything anyone who’s never read a Marvel comic would need to know to jump aboard. I’ve got enough heavy metal in my heart to know how they work. The event moments are the easy bit though, to be honest.

And simultaneously, you’re trying to make it a coherent piece of music with its own shape and timbre. In terms of an event, you’re playing all the instruments in the Marvel Universe simultaneously. It’s at least in part an instrument you’ve constructed yourself, but it’s still an instrument. As in, it’s got its own tone and sound, and you’re trying to make music with that. I’ve said previously that writing a single book is most often like playing an instrument. Kieron: Well, there’s certainly a lot to think about. How does writing an event like Judgment Day compare to writing a series like Immortal X-Men, which you’ve referred to as “Neo-Claremontism”?
