We all know about Ghostface and his fascination/connection with the Iron Man franchise. However, there’s another Wu member who’s just as much of a comic book aficionado. Method Man has made it no secret that he’s a huge comic fan with a collection of over 25,000 comics. Meth has parlayed this enthusiasm into the creation of his own comic book, Method Man. Method plays Peerless Poe, a detective who’s out to rid the world of some Biblical bad-folk in what is a fun and energetic read.

Our own David D. was able to chop it up fanboy style with Method Man as he discusses his book, favorite comics, which of the summer adaptations were the most faithful – and of course, The Wire.

Sit back and witness how Tical makes it cool to like comics again.

Method Man: Wattup

TSS: What’s up man, what you got going on right now?

Method Man: On my way to San Diego for the Comic-Con.

TSS: Is this your first Comic-Con?

Method Man: Yeah, its my first time.

TSS: I know you’re a big comic collector. You excited about it?

Method Man: Yeah, I wanna see what it’s about. If it’s anything like the E3 I’m gonna have a blast.

TSS: So what’s the word with this comic book you got coming out?

Method Man: Huh?

TSS: What’s the word with this comic book you got coming out?

Method Man: (Laughs) It’s funny getting asked that, that’s why I wanted to hear you say that again. It’s called Method Man of course, named after me. Except for Method Man is in a gang of murderers who are descendants of the first murderer, Cain. My character doesn’t want anything to do with that lifestyle anymore nut that’s the only life he knows. So, in the outside world, he becomes a private investigator. He just takes the cases nobody else will because basically they don’t think the cases are real because they deal with paranormal and occult things.

TSS: So what was your role in the book? Did you just do the concept? The writing?

Method Man: The concept. David Atchinson took the writing over and Sanford Greene did the artwork.

TSS: What made you want to do this comic book?

Method Man: I never really thought about it. But when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at it because I’m a big comic book fan.

TSS: Yeah, I remember the Wu-Tang had a comic book a few years ago. I collect too and—

Method Man: Wack. That shit was wack. I ain’t understand that bullshit.

TSS: Who’s idea was it? Read the rest of this entry »
