The series, which has been a critical and sales success for upstart AHOY Comics, centers on two different versions of the same character from different worlds in the multiverse — who accidentally change places.
More specifically, for hardcore comic book fans? You can pretty much imagine what would happen if the Batman from the Adam West TV show and the Batman from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns suddenly changed places and had to live in one another’s worlds, right? Well, that — with all the horror and humor it implies — is The Wrong Earth.
Earlier this week, Peyer joined ComicBook.com ahead of the release of #3 to talk about the series, where it has been, and where it will go next.
“Originally we thought about arranging for two artists to draw the two separate worlds, but that would have been a huge mistake,” Peyer told ComicBook.com. “Jamal has approached both worlds, and both heroes, with such care and thoughtfulness and invention, he quickly became the series’ legitimate co-creator. The Wrong Earth would have been very different without him, and not as good.”
