liked
I never liked working on editorial-driven comics. I just didn't see what was the point. They don't pay well enough for me to write other people's ideas.
capture comic love movies others seemed totally ways
I love other movies that have been made since, but I think more than any comic book movie, 'Superman' just totally seemed to capture superheroes in ways that others have not.
people
Not many people read my stuff, but I really like the ones that do.
future longer secret
I wanted to write a story about a future where everyone has a secret identity, in part because the Internet no longer exists.
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.
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.
alan foremost moore sat though time trained
Even though I was trained in play writing and screenwriting, when I sat down to write a comic book for the first time, Alan Moore was first and foremost in my mind.
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.
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.
I don't think I have discipline when it comes to anything.
cool dogs fiction leaves lone seem talk
I like animal sidekicks. They seem to be a pretty cool trope of post-apocalyptic fiction - just because if you're going to have this lone protagonist, they're going to need someone to talk to. Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys.
both children guess hope human writer
Having children changes you forever, as a writer and as a human being. I hope it's for the better on both counts, but I guess we'll see.
