Welcome back, y'all.
I am very pleased and very honored
to be sitting with Eisner Award nominated author and artist
Pablo Leon.
How are you, my friend?
I'm great.
Happy to be here, Man.
Thank you.
Yes, how's the convention been for you so far?
It's been good.
It's been good, a little toasty outside.
That's where I mostly spend my time for now so far.
But you know, can't wait to check it out more.
It's been like three years since last time, so.
Yeah, so I was going to ask what's it
like being back at San Diego.
Comic-Con, back amongst the Marvel faithful
and the Marvel fans?
I mean, it's great.
It's spectacular.
Yes.
Almost had a little bit of an anxiety attack because of so
many people, but it's just a matter
of like getting it going after so many years of not doing it.
So yeah, but yeah, so far it's been great.
Yeah.
So I want to talk to you.
I want to talk about a lot of things.
But I really want to talk to you about Miles Morales Shockwaves
from Scholastic, what incredible story,
what an incredible project.
Please, talk about what Miles Morales
means to you as a character and as a creator.
Of course.
You know, Miles was first of all it was
written by Justin [INAUDIBLE].
He's amazing writer.
We really vibed in the first book getting it
on-- getting like the story on.
I think for me, it's like it's the first,
it was the first Latino Spider-Man,
Latino superhero Spider.
So it was a monumental moment for me like when they
approached me to work with it.
Being approached to work on.
Spider-Man, it's a real honor.
But for Miles, it's like oh, this is like amazing.
Right, amazing.
So I love you know, and Miles has been
a character that's built up from like
I said Spider-Man is great.
So it's just building up on a great already a great block.
It's just like he's just there.
So I'm just happy that Justin and I
were able to like do something with that character
and hopefully do more in the future.
Who knows?
Yeah, so of course, we here at Marvel,
we're celebrating 60 years of Spider-Man, 60
years this amazing character.
What is it like to be a part of that legacy with Miles kind
of like ushering Spider-Man into this new age
for all new fans young and old?
Terrifying but exciting.
[LAUGH]
But terrifying but exciting because I think you don't
want to disappoint the fans.
But you also want to give them something
new that they may not expect.
It's not about giving them the same thing that's that.
It's always nice to have the things your favorite,
your favorite food is always there.
But you're going have a new favorite thing you know, so.
Yeah, that's where I am with that.
I'm excited to be a part of it, just
add a little bit of just a little bit of me into it
but terrified.
But hopefully, smooth sailing from here, you know.
Thank you so much for joining us, and thank you so much
for this book.

And we were seeing all the kids and all the smiling
faces that you've created.
So thank you, Pablo for joining us.

and like how it's been received.
