Welcome to Geektown Interviews: Jay Faerber (Part 1)

July 20, 2025 by Kurt Onstad in Interviews

Beginning my interview with comic book and television writer Jay Faerber, in this first section we discuss his pre-professional life, then his early works for Marvel and DC, including a stint on The New Warriors (featuring Speedball, so you know we’re focusing on that!)

If you want to know more about the characters in his New Warriors run, I did one of my scripted episodes about that run, which you can find here.

Our guest for the next few weeks, writer Jay Faerber (pronounced Fur-burr)

Don’t worry, Nova’s costume gets fixed by the end of the run…

Believe it or not, we do get a happy(ish) ending with this final issue.

The cover credits suggest Jay was correct in what memories he did have about this project.

Episode 113: Who Are The New Warriors? (Volume 2)

March 31, 2022 by Kurt Onstad

Continuing the anniversary tradition, Kurt moves forward in his chronological look at Speedball and the New Warriors team. Having finished up the 75 issue Volume 1 last year, we now move on to the short lived Volume 2, focusing on how they got back together and on the new members that joined, mutant teen Bolt, and the inner city youth turned mythological champion, Aegis!
