Because it's in and about New York City, I knew 'Ex Machina' was going to have to continually mix the mundane and the fantastic.

Comics brought me to the dance. It'll always be my first loyalty.

I'm not afraid of the world. I'm afraid of a world without you.

I've never gotten anything but support and thanks from people for having diverse books.

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

I'm still digesting the '90s. It takes some time to get perspective.
