superhero done excited
I've done so many superhero comics, and I've actually just been really excited about sci-fi, and Chrononauts and Starlight were both sci-fi, which I had a great time doing.
couple book artist
At the moment, I have it planned as a six or seven year experiment, but the books will only ever appear in bursts like this every couple of years and only with the best quality artists.
writing scripts proposal
I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.
thinking artist matter
Artists, no matter how good their intentions, are always slower than they think.
want headache publishers
I didn't want the headache of having a publisher reviewing everything I wrote in advance.
writing fairytale crime
I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.
adventure writing honest
I'm honestly as happy writing Superman Adventures as I am writing Wanted.
team thinking creative
Their argument, and I think it's a correct one, is that they'll make more money from the trades and the hardcovers if nobody messes with the creative team.
heart inspire stronger
The heart is a muscle, and you strengthen muscles by using them. The more I lead with my heart, the stronger it gets.
stars war exciting
Marvel movies, are seeming slightly less exciting now that Star Wars has appeared and everything.
writing america captains
Likewise, I see no shame in writing Captain America or Wolverine.
real character kids
I don't see one as bring better or more literate than the other and there's a real buzz to not only writing about a character I love like Superman, but also writing something that kids can enjoy.
thinking guy would-be
The ultimate [act] that would be the taboo, to show how bad some villain is, was to have somebody being raped, you know? I don't really think it matters. It's the same as, like, a decapitation. It's just a horrible act to show that somebody's a bad guy.
stars war epic
Maybe in this Star Wars world maybe subconsciously I was preparing myself. But I've just found all of my ideas I've been coming up with are big sci-fi things, and I wanted to do a big epic, a big space opera, and this is it. This is mine.
