I genuinely am sort of an emotionally stunted man-child, so if I just write to the top of my intelligence, it sounds like a teenager. I like being around teenagers. It's good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They're mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

Violence is stupid. Even as a last resort, it only ever begets more of the same.

Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'

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

Okay, is anyone else worried that some of the fruit didn't fall far enough away from the tree?

Each collected edition of Paper Girls that we put out will largely be set in an entirely different era.

After 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well.
