authentic believe book bullets heads instincts kick moment soldier survival
I have to believe that a soldier doesn't do everything by the book when bullets are whizzing by their heads in battle, ... That's when survival and preservation instincts kick in and it's at that moment where you will find the best, authentic pose.
book brand build character comic felt foundation four good movies pillars strong surprised television toys video
Once the character was established, I felt that I had to build a strong foundation for the Spawn brand name, ... To build a strong foundation you need four pillars. In the comic book industry, those pillars are television, video games, movies and toys or ancillary products. If you have a good foundation and pillars, you'd be surprised what you can build. You could even build skyscrapers
book writing thinking
I think people would actually be surprised by what we put out. Unfortunately the shadow that the original founders cast was that they were just artists that can't write books so people swept the whole of Image with that paintbrush.

few geek good los nfl sort team york
There hasn't been a big show in New York for a few years. It's sort of like the NFL not having a team in Los Angeles. It will be a good old-fashioned geek fest.
answer appeal figures plastic subject
Why can't plastic figures appeal to 22-year-olds? ... The answer is they can. It's just subject matter.

We knew we wanted to make the soldiers look realistic,
fortunate places scratch
I've been fortunate to come on places where the question isn't why did I do it? The question to me is always, why didn't anybody else do it before me? Those are the ones that I scratch my head about.
