Comic book readers are just as abandoned by the corporate system as the creators, despite the importance supposedly given their hard-earned dollars. The average comics shop can offer only a tiny fraction of an industrywide selection that is itself extremely limited in scope. And even when readers know exactly what they want, the search can be maddeningly futile.

Webcomics are much bigger than any one scene can circumscribe.

The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me.

My first influences were superhero artists.

Today, comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard.

My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous.

My dad was an inventor, and I think I've always had a rosy view of technology, or at least its potential.
