Matt Kindt: Valiant At War And Cutting The Grass
Sep 29, 2017
A one-man printing press might be a good way to describe the continual churning of text from writer Matt Kindt. Avid at birthing ideas that cater to four-color adventures, his creator-owned work can be found at BOOM! Studios where Grass Kings grows, thrives, and conquers. It is a good example of how Matt Kindt works in the comics industry. His name is always out there. His books continually slide across the counters.
"It's my day job and my night job. The only thing that I don't like is that I can't complain to anyone," he said at Baltimore Comic Con.
Not that he'd have time to complain anyway, because the laundry list of titles he writes barely affords the man time to eat, let alone do research. But it is an ample amount of research that allows him to get into the head of Aric of Dacia — heir to the throne of the Visigoth people, and the hero of Valiant Entertainment's X-O Manowar.
"I did a bunch of research on Visigoths," Kindt admits. "There's actually a lot online. It really helped me get inside his head. All of that stuff sort of fed into what I thought Aric would be."
