Under the Comic Covers is exceptionally happy to share our first interview with the almost complete creative team (sans letterer and essayist) behind one of our favorite books, Wayward. We are joined by writer Jim Zub, artist Steve Cummings, and colorist Tamra Bonvillain as we discuss their process, the various inspirations behind the art and the story, as well as hints as to what's to come in the upcoming arc beginning November 18th.

Take a look at an upcoming panel of Steven Cumming's pencils... http://jimzub.tumblr.com/post/131961653560/a-special-sneak-peek-at-line-art-from-wayward-13 ... not his inks, his pencils... and listen to the interview to understand why this is so spectacular.
