I’m in such a danger days mood I’ve been annoying the fuck outta my friend about it for a week now

 [CBR:] Lastly on the tour of the book are the Draculoids and Korse and all the villains from the video, and it seems so far like we’re going to get a lot more story on how these drones for the corporation came to be. You’ve said you had so much fun doing the designs of the Killjoys and the Ultra Vs who are so much their own people. Is there something fun about doing these characters who are forced to be more uniform?

Way: Yeah. That was actually, in a lot of ways, more fun because it was a really big challenge. And I didn’t even realize this until we were filming the second video, but Jimmy from the band Mindless Self Indulgence played the main Draculoid, and he came up going, “I just realized…me and the other guys kind of look like Stormtroopers from Star Wars, but we’re these really insane punk rock ’70s horror movie versions!”

And Becky also pointed out, because she was the first person who had to draw them, that they look like Sid Vicious. She said, “I’m drawing this crazy Sid Vicious vampire” and you had this other reference point too…

Cloonan: It was Michael Myers from “Halloween!” These are like if Michael Myers were running around in a vampire cape. [Laughter] That’s how I approached it.

Way: So they were really fun to make. You’re getting into this world and just having fun with it. Again, you can just make something that’s not super generic because you’re not riffing on World War II stuff for your villains. You can have so much fun with it. Sitting with Grant [Morrison] was insane. Grant really designed his own costume. I sat down with him and said, “Let’s talk about Korse” and he immediately said, “This is what I think about Korse. He’s a bit of a dandy.” And he’s got all these ideas for it.

Cloonan: I love that Grant Morrison just owns that jacket. [Laughs]

Way: He was like, “I really want a frilly cuff.”

Simon: One of the best panels Becky did in issue #1 was when Korse was holding the gun. It’s so him.

Way: We practiced that a lot. I remember standing in my house and handing Grant his gun, and he immediately held it up in front of his face and was just like, “This is how Korse would hold it.” [Laughter] It’s crazy how many memories are coming back now that the book is coming out.

 [The Aquarian:] It was fun to see Grant Morrison play the villain in the “Na Na Na” and “Sing” videos. [Mikey:] It was so cool to finally get to work with him. He’s one of our best friends and we’ve been itching to do something together. When we were coming up with things for the album we were like, “He’s the ultimate villain.” I mean he’s such a sweetheart, but if you look at him, he’s just got this amazing look about him, like he can be the ultimate Bond villain. He’s got so many different sides to him. He’s just a big teddy bear at heart but his visage is very intense.
