Interview: Deniz Camp - Ultimates #1 - Children of the Vault - 20th Century Men

1. Deniz, thank you for being our guest on the AIPT Comics podcast! To start, this episode will air just a few days before Ultimates #1 comes out, how excited are you to see fan reactions?
2. Can you talk a little bit about how you snagged the writing gig for Ultimates? By all accounts this seems like the most important book as far as worldbuilding is concerned.
3. With a few scripts under your belt, is there a specific Ultimate/Avenger you enjoy writing the most?
4. Were you a fan of the original Ultimates and the line at the time?
5. The FCBD story you wrote gives us a lot of hints as to the whereabouts of heroes, I was curious, how much of those required Wil Moss to check as far as green lighting things, or do you have full reign to erase or delete a character from this timeline?
6. Pie in the sky, is there a character that floats to the top you’re excited to dig into, and if it’s a spoiler, can you give a hint as to who they might be? 19:0020:26
7. Juan Frigeri is no slouch when it comes to big superhero action, was there a panel or page he blew you away with, so far?
8. I was a big fan of your Children of the Vault miniseries, which frankly had some mind bending ideas at work. Did writing that help you gear up for Ultimates in any way?
9. Does the Ultimate Universe office have a slack going? Are you all digging into each others scripts and keeping tabs?
10. At this point 20th Century Men is iconic in a lot of ways, for fans of Ultimates, why should they check it out?
