Interview: Chris Condon - Ultimate Wolverine, Green Arrow, and News From The Fallout

**Regarding News From The Fallout, you mentioned wanting to highlight Jeffrey Alan Love’s distinctive, iconographic style and push the boundaries of readability and emotional impact in black-and-white—how did you balance that visual ambition with your scriptwriting?**

**Humor in horror was a conscious choice—especially Otis's repeated animal-shooing gag—in order to keep the tone varied and impactful. How do you view the role of levity in darker narratives, and was that hard to weave into the story?**
**Green Arrow has taken on a grounded, street‑level tone, focusing on character interactions and big‑pharma themes. How did you adapt Ollie’s voice and moral compass to fit that setting while keeping iconic elements intact?**
Between writing for Green Arrow, scripting Ultimate Wolverine, and launching News From The Fallout, you’re balancing very different tones and genres. How do you switch creative gears between mainstream superhero work and experimental creator-owned stories?
Ultimate Wolverine launched early this year—what fresh angles or emotional truths are you exploring compared to past Wolverine iterations?
Your work this year traverses themes of isolation (Fallout), social justice (Green Arrow), and visceral heroism (Wolverine). How are you threading your personal storytelling voice through these varied genres and publishers?
Looking back at your 2025 slate so far—what’s been the biggest creative challenge, and which project pushed you most as a writer?
Between Otis shooing raccoons in News From The Fallout and Green Arrow’s trick arrows, it seems like you have a knack for writing characters who could survive in the weirdest camping trip imaginable. So: if you had to survive a weekend in the desert with Wolverine, Green Arrow, and Otis—who’s cooking, who’s in charge of the firewood, and who’s most likely to accidentally summon a threat to the camp?
