Alex Segura Talks THE FORGOTTEN FIVE and Getting the Band Back Together

Alex Segura joins Let's Talk Comics this week to talk about his path from working behind the scenes at DC and Archie to writing Secret Identity and his upcoming Image Comics series, THE FORGOTTEN FIVE.

We start by catching up on our days doing PR across the street from each other, with Alex at DC and me at Marvel, and how much getting the word out about comics has changed since then. Alex also talks about how writing mystery novels after work helped him find his way into writing comics, and what finally made him ready to bet on himself and go freelance.

Then, we get to THE FORGOTTEN FIVE, about a group of teenage outcasts who escape an organization that experimented on them, only to find themselves having to reunite as adults when the threat returns. Alex talks about building the series around two timelines and wanting to bring back the feeling that the superhero comics we grew up with could keep going forever.

It's a fun one, enjoy!
