Has anyone ever seen any interview with Greg Rucka or Leandro Fernandez that mentions El Ministerio Del Tiempo (The Ministry of Time)?

A warrior from the 16th Century, the first female university student from the 19th Century, and a paramedic from the 21st Century join a secret agency to prevent people from changing Spanish history using time-traveling doors.


The series began airing on Spanish television in 2015, almost two years before the first issue of the Old Guard comic appeared.

(If nothing else, there's crossover potential here! Toss in The Librarians for a triple!)

This week the Queer as Fact podcast did an episode of their Queer as Fiction sub-series reviewing "The Old Guard" movie.

As always, the hosts are delightful. Very recommended.

And here's a post that basically inspired the fic, where I yet again share various headcanons about the characters (with bonus historical geekery) and also bring you lots of music in Arabic that I think could fit Joe and Nicky (and some other characters) really well.
