The one I was still dreaming of being a part of was TRANSFORMERS, and to do it combined with my favorite team, the Ghostbusters, was everything I could've wanted. LUIS ANTONIO DELGADO: Excitement! I've been working with IDW for 11 years and I've worked on pretty much all the properties I grew up with. I wondered if the TRANSFORMERS universe would be as fun of a sandbox as GHOSTBUSTERS for us to play in – spoilers, it totally is. The TRANSFORMERS property is something that a reliable section of fans has asked about us playing around with (with GHOSTBUSTERS or otherwise) ever since the first TMNT/GB crossover five years back. When you were initially approached by IDW Publishing to be part of the TRANSFORMERS / GHOSTBUSTERS crossover, what was your first reaction?ĮRIK BURNHAM: Oh, there was a delayed double-take. Send us more of these, please.īelow, see the interview, conducted by an unnamed IDW PR person. How can we resist something as low-effort as simply posting an interview we didn't have to do any work to produce? It's an ingenious strategy. In any case, IDW has found a way around that by simply producing the interview themselves and emailing it to comics sites. It's actually much more lucrative to read an interview another website conducted, extract the juiciest parts, and make multiple clickbait article out of them. One of the questions we're frequently asked by outsiders curious about the glamorous comics news business is why there seems to be a decline in long-form interviews in the comics media, and the answer is that, with the number of clicks an interview is likely to get, combined with the amount of work that goes into researching, conducting, and transcribing one, they're usually not a very lucrative prospect in the fast-paced comics news click economy. In an unusual move for a comic book publisher, IDW has sent out a press release consisting entirely of an interview with Transformers/Ghostbusters crossover creative team Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, and Luis Antonio Delgado.
