Chris Ryall has worn multiple hats during his years in comics, from co-creator of Zombies Vs. Robots with artist Ashley Wood, to publisher at IDW, to Executive Producer on Netflix’s Locke & Key series. Now, he and Wood have started a new comics label, Syzygy, published through Image. In the following interview, Fanbase Press Contributor Kevin Sharp chats with Ryall (@chris_ryall) and David Booher (writer of Canto and Alien Bounty Hunter - @davidbooher) about the big picture vision for the label, as well as the particulars of their first comic, an adaptation of Joe Hill’s novella, Rain. (Oh, and it’s “siz-e-jee.”)

As part of our interview series, I ask each creator to step into the role of fan and talk about which comics they admire, that spark their own creativity, and that they recommend to others. Below are the picks from our 2021 guest lineup, a wide sampling of works from different genres and time periods as varied as the people naming them. – Kevin Sharp
