I've always been positive about superheroes.

If I won the lottery tomorrow - which would be a real trick, since I haven't entered - and was independently wealthy for the rest of my life, I'd write comic books, because it's what I like doing.

I wanted to be a writer, but the idea of writing novels or movies seemed really intimidating. I never got more than a few pages into one.

I don't view Twitter as a promotional tool but as a really, really, really cool cocktail party.

I'm not building each one character around one metaphor, so much as trying to build a heroic archetype that can be used to express the kind of metaphors that I find in each story.

I like superheroes. I like the drama of it, the stirring, larger-than-life aspect.

I'm a writer. I just love telling stories.
