Last week, Edison Rex‘s Chris Roberson and Dennis Culver introduced us to the menace of…Maul Santa!Aside from having one of the great, demented names and personalities in all of comics villaindom, the character was a whacked-out maniac in a book full of villains who generally have at least something approaching an ethic, even if it’s a questionable or outright evil one.We also got Edison’s first team-up with a superhero, the introduction of the concept of legacy heroes the the series and, crucially, a hero who finally asked the $25,000 question: Does Edison know what happened to Valiant?Roberson and Culver joined ComicBook.com to talk about the issue and give some sense for where the characters go next.Reminder: This is a spoiler-rich interview. If you haven’t read the issue yet, you should buy it and read along with us. In fact, the trade paperback collection of the first few issues just came out, so you might check that out, complete with an introduction by Kurt Busiek.ComicBook.com: So…Maul Santa. That’s just a very creepy cover image!Chris Roberson: That one was a real team effort. Dennis did the figure work, of course, but he had the idea to incorporate the “Ho Ho Ho” design in the background, and John J. Hill and Steve Downer collaborated to make it work. (Me, I contributed nothing.)
