Via Mashable, AMC’s Mac McKean explained “that [‘Breaking Bad’]t episode is complete as it is but there was an opportunity there … to unpack something from that episode that directly leads us into Better Call Saul… Not that this is something you must read to get Better Call Saul, but having those extra layers out there seems really appropriate for this particular type of storytelling and this type of show.”
McKean added that “we’ve seen the evidence in terms of usage [of the comics in the past] that there’s a sizable chunk of people who want to read about this world in this form.”
