Directors' Commentary: Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman on 'King in Black' #1

Face front, raucous readers of KING IN BLACK—and prepare for a special episode of Marvel's Pull List!

This week, your hosts Ryan "Agent M" Penagos and Tucker Markus welcome back Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman to discuss the electrifying event that's currently taking over the planet. This chat follows last week's interview, which dug into the details of VENOM #1, and completes the dastardly duology by going behind the scenes of KING IN BLACK #1!

In the episode, Donny and Ryan go page-by-page, talking character design, callbacks, splash pages, how they aimed to have issue #1 feel like the final chapter of any other event series, and so much more.
