I think jazz and comic books are probably the two uniquely American art forms.

I'm still a fanboy geek. I always will be. In many ways, if my work still resonates with the audience, it's because I'm still writing from the point of view of the fan, so I'm geeked out constantly.

The most unrealistic thing I've ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don't believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.

If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.

Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

I've always been the audience that I wanted to reach, so I write for myself.

I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.
