X-Men the Animated Series Creators

Anyone who grew up in the 90s knows how important X-Men the Animated Series is to the world of superheroes. It inspired a generation of fans and creators.

Ben and Robbie are joined by Eric and Julia Lewald, the creative minds behind the show. Eric and Julia share some incredible stories about the development and lives of the X-Men series as well as several of their own feelings and opinions on characters and the creative process.

Eric and Julia talk about about the hurdles the show had to jump just to get a pilot season. The story behind the decision to use Jim Lee’s art and how it almost killed the show before it aired. Plus, who are their favorite characters, and what are their favorite arcs? All that this week on the Other Identity.
