film fewer
Comics are essentially films with fewer frames per second.
inspiration wife ruth
The biggest inspiration for everything I do is, of course, my wife, playwright Ruth McKee.
lying writing sound
All writing is the same: It's just making up lies until it starts to sound like the truth. That's what I do.
book color imagination
I have no imagination; I just steal from life and change the color. Then it's a comic book.
almost lives stories
Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'
genre handled knew power sides spectrum superhero themes
After 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well.
imagination budgets
That was the appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.
character winning issues
Every issue, the characters and I duke it out. They usually win.
heart broken needs
Just go out there and get your heart broken in, so it'll be ready when you really need it.
kids thinking people
I think some people are just very passionate that things remain the way they were when they were kids.
love world without-you
I'm not afraid of the world. I'm afraid of a world without you.
long digital shipping
For a lot of arcane shipping reasons, new comics, even digital ones, have a long history of only being released on Wednesdays.
men violence use
When a man carries an instrument of violence, he'll always find the justification to use it.
crazy heart giving
You'd never be able to convince someone to give you money to do a bilingual story where you're not translating half of it - you'd drive people crazy. But in comics, you can do whatever your heart desires.
