I think most people know the concept of difficult family situations. So I try to just ground a very big concept in something we can all relate to on some level.

We ordinary people might lack your great speed or your X-Ray vision, Superman, but never underestimate the power of the human mind. We carry the most dangerous weapon on Earth inside these thick skulls of ours.

When you don't have time to do your job, that's a good indication you're playing the wrong game.

Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.

I didn't want the headache of having a publisher reviewing everything I wrote in advance.

What I do with everything is take things out of real life. You encounter all sorts of stories. It's a lot of your friends and family, sometimes there's quite sad episodes in their life and everything. So just little things I've picked up along the years always find a way into all of my stories.

Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence.
