Ed Brubaker talks to ComicBookResources this week about the webisode series “Angel of Death” playing at Crackle. Best known for Captain America, Daredevil and Iron Fist or Marvel, Ed was instrumental in creating “Angel of Death” for Crackle. Of interest was the speed at which the project took to fruition:
So that was something I had been sitting on for a while and then John Norris, the producer, approached me about doing something for the Internet. They had been talking to Zoë about doing something and I thought, “Well, I’m a huge Zoë Bell fan, why don’t I just create something for Zoë?†So I just wrote up this pitch, took this idea, sort of flushed it out into what it became and sent it to them, you know, as a thing for Zoë.
Miraculously there were no roadblocks. They hired Zoë, we got green-lighted, I got to write the script and it just went from there. They started filming two weeks after I finished the final draft. We announced it in August and it’s out now, it’s crazy.

Kiwi Lucy Lawless (Xena Warrior Princess, Battle Star Galactica) was also involved in this as a sort of foil to the the previous collaboration where Zoe played Lucy’s stunt double:
Well, it actually just kind of happened. I wrote the part for Lucy [Lawless] but that was actually [director] Paul [Etheredge’s] idea to come up with a part for Lucy Lawless where it would be sort of reflective, a little bit, of their previous relationship where Zoë was her body-double. So the part was sort of written for her. She really threw herself all into it.
