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.
I never like to talk about my own politics, but whether you're left, right or center, the 2008 race was definitely good drama.
I don't think anything connects with an audience as deeply as a long-form serialized drama, and much as I love television, I've always found a good ongoing comics series to be much more immersive.
My mom once told me that a good relationship isn't where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make *you* better.
