honey salt sprinkles
It's salt. Why don't you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren't I just good enough to eat?
progress potatoes medical
He read me extracts from a medical journal describing the progress of a staphylococcus aureus infection. And then he pleasured me with a potato.
gotham madness sometimes
Sometimes it’s only madness that makes us what we are.
morning dark men
I loved IRON MAN: Robert Downey Jr. has been and probably will be my favourite actor for a long time…but IRON MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, SUPERMAN RETURNS and all the others feel a little like Saturday morning cartoons next to the carbon black glory that is 'The Dark Knight.' Trust me, *this* is the future of this sort of thing.
terrorism
From now on, I'm opting for ontological terrorism.
light shadow firsts
The first light had cast the first shadow.
people way ends
And that's why people read comics, to get away from the way life works, which is quite cruel and unheroic and ends in death.
years ideas space
I plan years in advance, but I like to leave enough space in the narrative scheme to change things, because I always get my best ideas the closer I come to the end of a project, after I've lived with it for a while.
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.
struggle done dozen
There are dozens of unfinished or aborted projects in my files, but I can only assume they don't get done because they're not robust enough to struggle through the birth process.
character mean thinking
I think any writer coming on to 'Batman' should at least attempt to do their own definitive version. What it means to them. Whatever they think that symbol or character can say.
character writing numbers
Your character that you create in your writing not only represents who you are, but also represents a number of people who you've met along the way.
morning stars shining
I will rise from the darkness, shining like the morning star. Illuminated woman am I.
evil wicked behind-the-scenes
I'm the evil mastermind behind the scenes. I'm the wicked puppeteer who pulls the strings and makes you dance. I'm your writer.
