This is Rick Grimes being pushed to his absolute limit. And if you think you’ve seen that before, you haven’t. And the Rick Grimes that comes out of this is really going to shock people.
I will work on Invincible until I am made to quit.
Well, don't tell Steve Niles but I just don't think horror works in comics.
Well see, I'm a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.
Fights in real life between real people only last so long before someone gets seriously hurt.
I write the way I write.
I like good stories above all else... and kickin' art really goes the final stretch to ensure a comic is good.
I have trouble writing if I can't picture how things are going to look.
June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.
I'm only 24 so I like to think I'm still close enough to 17 to still remember what it was like. Besides, I could just fake it and get away with it... it's not like there are any teenagers that still read comics.
But honestly... I just don't know what anyone's thinking. To me, that's scarier than any half-rotten ghoul trying to eat my flesh.
Don't you get it? We are The Walking Dead!
I think Walking Dead is more of a stretch for me because I'm a light hearted superhero kind of guy.
Last year I think I made more from my Image books than anywhere else.
