June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.

I think that comics and television, as mediums, go hand in hand. Both tell long-form, continuing stories that are parsed out into little chapters and, if are successful, continue for years and years. What that means to me, as a writer, is it tells stories of transformation and evolution as characters.

I think Walking Dead is more of a stretch for me because I'm a light hearted superhero kind of guy.

Well, don't tell Steve Niles but I just don't think horror works in comics.

Well see, I'm a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.

You have a valid complaint, and I do recognize it ... but you are reading into things a little bit. Just the same, I will do my best to make horrible things happen to a bunch of white people before something else so graphic hits a minority character.

I'm only 24 so I like to think I'm still close enough to 17 to still remember what it was like. Besides, I could just fake it and get away with it... it's not like there are any teenagers that still read comics.
