If a good editor will let me tell my story with the right artist, I'm happy.

I like things that are weirdly imaginative and couldn't be real, but I also like stories that are recognizable and relatable.

I sort of jumped out of movies and into the lifeboat of comics. I loved it right away. It was the opposite of film school. Whatever was in my imagination could end up in the finished product. There were just no limitations.

We've all seen lots of stories about a young protagonist having adventures, and usually they're all boys, [and] there is sometimes a token female, or two.

The biggest inspiration for everything I do is, of course, my wife, playwright Ruth McKee.

They hurt you. You hurt 'em back. Or maybe it is the other way around. Whatever. Someday you might find a way to forgive each other. But it won't be like it used to 'cause that pain never really goes away.

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