I've written about teenage heroes before, on Marvel's Runaways, and I remember at the time when I pitched it, it was a team that had more female members than males. Even that caused of much discussion about, "Will there be a market for this, and should there at least be equal number of male and females?"

The appealing thing about comics: There literally is no budget in comics. You're only limited by your imagination.

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.

Print and digital comics will always coexist.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person's hands, and I don't think many screenwriters can say that.

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

Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.
