Lorenzo De Felici Talks Going Dark with Red Roots

Lorenzo De Felici joins Let’s Talk Comics to talk about his new series Red Roots and why it represents a major shift in how he approaches storytelling. We dig into how keeping up a DeviantArt page got Robert Kirkman's attention (which then led to work on Oblivion Song) and what he learned from the grind of monthly comics. Lorenzo took that experience and applied it to his first Image series Kroma, where he reshaped his instincts as both an artist and writer. Lorenzo breaks down his process, from building stories without scripts to designing characters that feel unexpected, and why Red Roots is him pushing into darker, more uncomfortable territory. If you're a creator looking to create comics, this conversation is for you. Lorenzo's key? Figuring out how to make the kind of comics you actually want to read, and then making them.
