nice character thinking
When that character and the X-Force appeared, they took the comic world by storm. You have to look at those numbers. And you see that that isn't Rob Liefeld's only creation. There's all these other things, like Cable and Domino. There's so many things that actually could be fascinating onscreen and unlike anything you've ever seen before onscreen. So I think Fox is in a really nice position where they've got something that feels as wide and different as the Marvel Universe.
character men rights
The lovely thing is, if Marvel had a Spider-Man movie over at Sony or something, they own the rights to the character, and the editors and producers make suggestions and get notes and things. But you're talking about Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman. They're two of the best people in the world. The notes are just things like, "This is absolutely brilliant."
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.
character skills results
If you don't demonstrate leadership character, your skills and your results will be discounted, if not dismissed.
character ideas people
You kind of worry for the characters in a way that you don't normally in sci-fi, because sci-fi tends to be about the ideas, and this is about people.
kept month rising sales scottish-writer
Sales were stable, but they would have kept rising if we'd been out there every month and I think we'd be topping 200,000 by now.
both cap concluded disastrous fans good iron man nearly pick series side thinking
Even now, the series is nearly concluded for me, and I don't know who's right because they are both right and they are both wrong. I think if you did pick a side it would be disastrous because both the Iron Man fans and the Cap fans would be out for your blood. So (what) I'm thinking is that they are both having a good argument.
appeared four gotten line might scottish-writer
Being the first to do something like this also registers a lot of attention that the line might not have gotten if all four books had just appeared from one company.

I wouldn't let kids near half the stuff I've written so it is quite lovely to pass these little books out to children when they visit the house.
certain horror level picture psychic scottish-writer sit watch watching
When we sit and watch a horror movie we know we're watching a horror picture and come to the story with a certain level of psychic defence.
both deals ended good honestly mainstream publicity scottish-writer series snapped
We've had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I'm honestly just pinching myself.
living relates split
It's a split that relates to what we're living in now.
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.
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.
