Weirdly, I'm not a horror fan.

You've seen the first issue and what happened in the last page. Some pretty awful stuff. I don't know why I seem to be very good at drawing it!

Weirdly, I'm not a horror fan, but those kind of horror leanings are something that are very easy for me to get into.

That's the type of thing you need to keep in mind when drawing comics. The storytelling. Consider the action and the space available to you, that's what will make it a great comics page. Once you've figured that out, you can always find/make the reference to support your storytelling decisions. So by all means, study film, but as with any reference, the results are better when they inform the craft and not dictate it.

For me, I'm a fan of really dark, depressing stuff.

I personally got to draw a take on a character that I've had in my mind since I was a teenager. That was pretty sweet!

For me, I'm a fan of really dark, depressing stuff. Even something like The Wire, which can be hugely depressing and really serious, the bits I always remember are the jokes, you know?
