The premise of Michael May and Jason Copland’s Kill All Monsters! is simple and awesome: In a world brought to heel by an attack of enormous monsters, there’s only one hope for humanity: an elite group of soldiers piloting a small number of giant robots to fight them.They Kickstarted the first print volume of the popular webcomic, set to hit comic shops in July via Alterna, and made their goal back in the first day, even though most of the higher-end rewards haven’t yet been touched. Copland joined us to talk about the comic, the decision to go to print and the Kickstarter campaign.ComicBook.com: Alright–so the first thing I want to ask is how does one go about doing a webcomic that’s critically-acclaimed and fiscally successful? There are so many that most of them seem like white noise to me and it’s only after I hear a name like Kill All Monsters thirty or forty times from people I respect that I finally pay attention.Jason Copland: I think a lot of our success has come from the fact that Michael and I REALLY enjoy working on Kill All Monsters (KAM). I think the love comes through on the page. Posting the comic weekly also helped get us a decent following. Having an amazing group of peers that are extremely supportive of the book is another bonus.
