Kaare Andrews Talks Up Renalto Jones!

Kaare Andrews is a movie and television director, a writer and artist.  Talk about a renaissance man!  Andrews has a new six issue comic series, Renalto Jones, coming out this summer.  Here’s how Kaare describes the series…

KA: Here’s the big conceit of the series: As you said, it’s about a man who hides amongst the super-rich and makes them pay for their super-rich crimes. But he doesn’t just hide in that world, he lives in it. So I can have a great time drawing gold plated Lamborghinis and huge estates, while still being able to get some payback. The book isn’t saying that all rich people are evil (remember, this is fiction), it’s saying that there is a certain kind of evil that’s untouchable because it hides behind wealth. To get at them, it’s going to take one of their own.

 

What’s interesting for me on a character level is that Renato isn’t really who he appears to be. ‘Renato’ is Italian for ‘Rebirth’ and that plays a big part of his character. Who is he? Why is he doing this? It’s not about revenge, but restitution. That’s important to Renato. He’s not getting even with the super-rich, he’s making them pay.
