INTERVIEW WITH DAVID ANDRY (2/21/2024)
COMIC BOOK YETI: What movies/television/books/video games inspired RESONANT?
DAVID ANDRY: I’ve always been a big fan of post-apocalyptic stories like The Walking Dead and Book of Eli. Strangely enough, there probably is a big part of Goonies in there, I tend to like when kids are allowed to be kids and heroes at the same time. A little dash of Mad Max, some Y the Last Man, and a bit of Swiss Family Robinson (probably more than a bit!).
CBY: And now – how excited are you for the BET adaptation?
DA: Oh, geez. How excited can a person be before they explode? It’s still pretty surreal that it’s happening but I think Resonant is in good hands with Gerard McMurray. I can’t wait to see what he does with the material.
CBY: What inspired RESONANT from real life: science, state of the world, etc.?
DA: I was standing on a third floor balcony area of my college and leaning over the railing and looking down. I wondered, what would happen if I jumped. I stepped back, a little shaken. I didn’t want to jump, but I was worried that I might if I stayed where I was. I’d have similar thoughts driving over a bridge, just thinking about turning the wheel and letting my car fly off the edge. This was pre-Google times, so I just thought I was weird. But later, I discovered that this is a common thing that was referred to as “The Call of the Void”. So if everyone had these thoughts, what would happen if everyone had these thoughts at the same time and couldn’t resist them? The world of Resonant was born.
CBY: Please tell our lovely readers about the significance of the cicadas in Resonant.
DA: Cicadas are LOUD! And if you’ve spent time in the South, omnipresent. The sound, the constant buzzing, you’re just constantly aware of their presence. I thought it would be cool if the whole world went silent before a Wave hit in Resonant. But silence doesn’t work well in a medium without sound, so we took that constant sound and used it like an alarm bell before a Wave hits.
CBY: Do you think everyone has those dark impulses that would surface if a switch of some sort was flipped?
DA: Maybe not “dark,” but definitely weird. Probably a lot of self harm. Our subconscious can be a wild place.
CBY: The heart of Resonant is about family. Can you talk a bit about the Paxton family?
DA: Paxton’s family was actually inspired by someone I knew before I started writing the story. He was a single, Black, father with a young daughter. I saw his commitment to her, how he would do anything for her and how she thrived under his care. She was strong, independent, and unafraid of the world for someone so young. I hadn’t seen many characters like this in media, so I put them in the book!
CBY: List your favorite graphic novels or comics from when you were a child and talk about how you see them as an adult.
DA:Well, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was my gateway into comics. It’s wild that they just keep getting more popular. I was a big fan of Spider-Man, and the Justice League International books by Giffen and Maguire. And I still love all of them!
CBY: Talk about your favorite (and least favorite) type of character to create/write.
DA:Bad guys! I mean, I think everyone loves writing the villain. They get to say all the things you could never say yourself. The villain usually has some level of freedom, they are outside of the law or the norms of society so they can do things a ‘normal’ person can’t. Honcho was definitely fun to write in Resonant.
CBY: Does RESONANT have a playlist? If so, can you share it?
DA: I don’t do playlists, I have a Pandora channel that I started in 2009 that I still listen to. It’s become a mish-mash of all kinds of different artists, has changed a lot as I have gone through different things in my life, but if you’re brave, you can give it a listen.
