There are a lot of differing opinions on that. Some people think you should change out more, but I think changing just 20 percent is less stressful on the aquarium and fish. Once you get used to the regimen, it's pretty easy.

There's a lot of fiction from that period that we're nostalgic for.

I just want to take a realistic look now, now that we have enough distance.

There's a lot of dark stuff from the '80s that we don't think about.

Every issue, the characters and I duke it out. They usually win.

I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again.

The longer I've been writing scripts, the more I find that you have to give the artist more leeway or else you'll just be disappointed. You can't force them to draw every image that's in your head. Since I'm a horrific artist, I wouldn't want them to anyway. So I definitely give them a lot more leeway now than I did at the beginning.
