Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi9 Marras

Killswitch

Killswitch remains a fascinating blend of science fiction, social commentary, and suspense. In this vintage interview, comic creators Jeffrey and Susan Bridges take us inside a future where extraordinary gifts become tools of control, and those born with clairvoyant abilities find themselves caught between power and exploitation.

What happens when the ability to see beyond the present becomes a commodity?

In this vintage interview, we sit down with comic creators Jeffrey and Susan Bridges, co-creators of Killswitch, a thought-provoking science fiction series set in a future where individuals known as Augers possess clairvoyant abilities. Rather than being celebrated, these gifted individuals are often manipulated, exploited, and used by powerful interests seeking to profit from their unique talents.

Jeffrey and Susan explore the origins of Killswitch, the world-building behind its dystopian future, and the ethical questions at the heart of the story. We discuss how society might react to people with extraordinary abilities, the dangers of institutional control, and why science fiction remains such a powerful lens for examining real-world issues.

From creating compelling characters to crafting a future that feels both imaginative and unsettlingly plausible, this conversation offers a fascinating look behind the scenes of an ambitious comic book universe.
