I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls. There was just this sense that all these young women knew there were openings here to be the first of their kind.

My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

What cruel creatures men are. Our bodies tell us to love so many, but there's room in our hearts for so few.

I'm the one who started spreading that particular factoid, about Bendis, Azz and me all being bald Brian's from Cleveland, just to get my name mentioned in the same sentence as two much-better writers, and it's worked like a goddamn charm. Next up, I'm going to grow a big, disgusting beard, just so people will start talking about Alan Moore and me in the same breath.

I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.

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

Print and digital comics will always coexist.
