If I'm grumpy I sure do enjoy writing The Walking Dead.

It's no secret that I love the Ultimate line.

Last year I think I made more from my Image books than anywhere else.

When you write comic books and when you are writing for television, you're not writing the end product, you are writing notes for someone else to make the end product essentially. My scripts are just directions for the artist to draw pages and the pages are what is seen. I kind of feel like it's a safety net, you're able to hide behind the art to a certain extent, and in television you're able to hide behind the actors and the production, but with novels, your words are it

Fights in real life between real people only last so long before someone gets seriously hurt.

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 definitely have character arcs in mind for each character unless I kill them.
