dog bored trying
The world gets more like Disneyland every day, and it's the same the other way round. I can't explain what I know. Try explaining RED to a DOG and see how fast he gets bored.
reading talking stories
I do like to keep abreast of what the hardcore vocal members of the comics-reading audience are talking about on Internet message boards, but there are so few of them, as a percentage of the buying audience, that I can't allow their opinions to dictate story direction.
sense-of-humor kipling reconstructing
Kipling: Where's your sense of humor? Rebis: We're working on reconstructing it...
jesus people love-everyone
Superman loves everyone. He's like Jesus except he punches people.
lasts last-time
When was the last time you had a thought that wasn't put there by THEM?
teenager struggle past
X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old. The X-Men are every rebel teenager wanting to change the world and make it better. Humanity is every adult, clinging to the past, trying to destroy the future even as he places all his hopes there.
couple real smart
It's always interesting to see what the real enthusiasts think, but they're rarely representative of the tastes of the wider audience, so I tend to write for myself, for an imagined smart 14-year-old, and for a couple of friends who are still big comics fans.
dream children men
All I know is that you won't come back until they're all dead. 'Eternity.' Every last one of them. Every man. Every woman. Every child. Global massacre. I dream about that day. A planet of corpses
ideas stronger bombs
Before it was a Bomb, the Bomb was an Idea. Superman, however, was a Faster, Stronger, Better Idea.
consciousness
Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.
pain sadness long
I AM happy”. They understood what we english people have long forgot. We're not our sadness. We're not our happiness or our pain but our language hypnotizes us and traps us in little labelled boxes ()
fire cannons century
A cannon fires only once but words detonate across centuries
gotham madness sometimes
Sometimes it’s only madness that makes us what we are.
father believe college
It's hard for me to believe that a shy, bespectacled college graduate like Brad Meltzer who's a novelist and a father is a really setting out to be weirdly misogynistic.
