thinking privacy internet
I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again.
life readers
I never want readers to be comfortable, to feel like we're in a comedy or a drama. Life is never just one of those things. Life is a balance of all those things.
comic exist open series totally wants
I'm totally open to it being a movie or a television series or whatever, but truthfully, if no one wants to do it right, I'm also happy for 'Ex Machina' to only ever exist as a comic book.
began comics guess mainstream stuff
I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I've never abandoned.
becoming last romance seen women
I've always seen 'Y' as an unconventional romance between a boy and his protector. It was always about the last boy on Earth becoming the last man on Earth, and the women who made that possible.
certain children kid man naive wrote
When I wrote 'Runaways,' I was a naive kid who thought that all parents were evil. Now that I'm a wise old man with children of my own, I am certain that all parents are evil.
audience comics connects deeply found good love ongoing series
I don't think anything connects with an audience as deeply as a long-form serialized drama, and much as I love television, I've always found a good ongoing comics series to be much more immersive.
attempting sort time
By the time you have your protagonist attempting to assassinate the Pope, you've sort of signaled that everything is on the table.
love
I love doing research. I'm a film-school geek.
definitely good politics race talk whether
I never like to talk about my own politics, but whether you're left, right or center, the 2008 race was definitely good drama.
writers
There are probably writers who are much more visual than I am and some who are less. I like to think of myself as a happy medium.
enjoying tv writer
As much as I'm enjoying stuff out here in Hollywood, I will always think of myself as a comic-book writer who does film and television, not a film and TV writer who occasionally does comics.
almost books fiction good poor science superhero unfair
It's interesting - I think superheroes get much more unfair derision. There are so many good superhero books being done. Science fiction is almost more reputable, I guess, at least a step up from poor superheroes.
audience relief series
There's always that relief you feel when you're working on your own series that you can actually make it to your planned ending and that your audience will still be there to support you - and that your publisher will still exist.
