Q & A with Joe Martino (Mighty Titan)

Talented Joe Martin has a really cool series going with Mighty Titan so I thought it would be cool to ask him a few questions...

1. Tell us what Mighty Titan is about?
The Mighty Titan is a story about an invulnerable hero who finds out that his alter-ego has a potentially terminal disease. Titan's alter-ego has cancer.

 

2. To readers of what comics will it appeal?
If you like Superman or Captain Marvel, you will love The Mighty Titan. 

 

3. Where can we find it?
Right now you can get issue 1 at my webstore. www.jgmcomics.ecrater.com. 

 

4. Who is your favorite comic book hero and who your favorite creator?
Superman, bar none. I don't have a favorite creator but I am very into the mid to late 80's artists. John Byrne, George Perez, Jack Kirby. 

 

5. What is it about superheroes that appeals to people so much and why are there so many comic book movies now?
I don't know what took so long! Most of the people reading comics are my age and I think that we are making superheroes accessible again. I used to say that I create superhero comics for people who still believe in superheroes. Looks like they are back with a vengeance!

The Mighty Titan # 1

I love how Kickstarter makes it possible for creators to get their own superhero comics out there. This is one I've been waiting for for what seemed forever.
Titan is a Superman-like good guy. We see him face off against some mecha villain and hear about his enemy Trenchcoat in this first issue before the shocker ending that makes me really look forward to # 2.
A lot of you might know about the cancer-angle of this comic. There's not much of it in this one, but there will be sure to be more in the next one.
The artwork is very professional looking and I really like the fact Titan is an all-American hero, not an anti-hero but a full-blooded Captain America / Superman kind of guy. And hey, it sports a Jerry Ordway cover!
