people
When you expect the best from people, you will often see more in them than they see in themselves.
book different publishers
The books are all very, very different so the publishers really had to be different too.
mistake book thinking
I always think it's a mistake when you actually have to set books aside and actually sit down and research something. I always think they've got to come from within.
book two pay
The animated books pay the lowest rates at the Big Two and you can forget about royalties.
book four months
Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence.
readership breadth factors
The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.
artist next-week two
I'm so used to artists saying to me, "Listen, I'm going to have five pages done next week," and then three weeks later I'm phoning them, begging them for two pages. And Stuart [Immonen]is a guy who will promise you five pages and deliver six pages, and the six pages are even better than you could have ever imagined.
running team thinking
I'm just running through this list of potential nannies and wondered if we should go for a superhero this time. Do you think Wolverine would be interested? He seems to be on every other team right now...
sleep pieces one-piece
Guess that's thirty-one pieces of silver you've got now, huh? Sleep well, Judas.
skulls people mind
We ordinary people might lack your great speed or your X-Ray vision, Superman, but never underestimate the power of the human mind. We carry the most dangerous weapon on Earth inside these thick skulls of ours.
almost books certain cow expand helping however marvel pick scottish-writer
However, if I can expand this to Top Cow or Avatar I'm helping the sales, however small, on my Marvel books because I'm almost certain to pick up some new readers.
love scottish-writer
I'd love to do something else for Avatar after this.
annoying hear late people scottish-writer sequel situation
It's actually annoying when I hear people say the sequel will be late because we're in a completely different situation from the original.
bringing couple creatively hearing liberating loose marvel next scottish-writer titles
It's been the most creatively liberating thing I've ever done and so I'm bringing some of that mad enthusiasm to Marvel for the next couple of years as they let me loose on some Marvel Universe titles you'll be hearing about soon.
