audience comics connects deeply found good love ongoing series
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.
audience relief series
There's always that relief you feel when you're working on your own series that you can actually make it to your planned ending and that your audience will still be there to support you - and that your publisher will still exist.
definitely good politics race talk whether
I never like to talk about my own politics, but whether you're left, right or center, the 2008 race was definitely good drama.
love
I love doing research. I'm a film-school geek.
attempting sort time
By the time you have your protagonist attempting to assassinate the Pope, you've sort of signaled that everything is on the table.
I don't think I have discipline when it comes to anything.
certain children kid man naive wrote
When I wrote 'Runaways,' I was a naive kid who thought that all parents were evil. Now that I'm a wise old man with children of my own, I am certain that all parents are evil.
becoming last romance seen women
I've always seen 'Y' as an unconventional romance between a boy and his protector. It was always about the last boy on Earth becoming the last man on Earth, and the women who made that possible.
began comics guess mainstream stuff
I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I've never abandoned.
comic exist open series totally wants
I'm totally open to it being a movie or a television series or whatever, but truthfully, if no one wants to do it right, I'm also happy for 'Ex Machina' to only ever exist as a comic book.
life readers
I never want readers to be comfortable, to feel like we're in a comedy or a drama. Life is never just one of those things. Life is a balance of all those things.
both children guess hope human writer
Having children changes you forever, as a writer and as a human being. I hope it's for the better on both counts, but I guess we'll see.
cool dogs fiction leaves lone seem talk
I like animal sidekicks. They seem to be a pretty cool trope of post-apocalyptic fiction - just because if you're going to have this lone protagonist, they're going to need someone to talk to. Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys.
best bit cool paying work
It's cool because I think 'Ex Machina' is a little bit under the radar, which is always when I do my best work - when I feel like no one's paying attention.
