He says some interesting things about his approach to the series. He also says that the plan is for this to be an ongoing title, so I definitely recommend that fans support it by buying the individual issues so that we get more Avengers comics!
That was a great interview, Brisco!

Thanks for that! You asked a lot of the questions I would have, especially about whether we'll see other characters than Steed and Emma in the future. I hope if the book runs long enough that we do.
Interesting to read that he came to the show through the movie, like I did. You can really feel that he's working with the series as though it had a movielike budget, and I'm interested to see how the plot unfolds to match that scope.
The one thing I can't go with him on is the gore, though. It wasn't just a product of the shows of the time, but a conscious creative choice to avoid blood as much as possible, just the way it was to have more blood in
Man in a Suitcase. So I hope they don't rely on it too much. It feels particularly wrong when its meant to be set in the Peel era.
Thank you for such a great piece. There's another interview I found via Monroe's website which is worth a read as well. Spoiler warning as it also features the first few pages of issue #1:
