I Didn't Break Into Comics To Write

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.

The Ultimate [act] That Would Be The Taboo, To Show How Bad Some Villain Is, Was To Have Somebody Being Raped, You Know? I Don't Really Think It Matters. It's The Same As, Like, A Decapitation. It's Just A Horrible Act To Show That Somebody's A Bad Guy.

It Didn't Take A Trauma To Make You Wear A Mask. It Didn't Take Your Parents Getting Shot...or Cosmic Rays Or A Power Ring...just The Perfect Combination Of Loneliness And Despair.

The Past Is An Anchor With Suffering Written On The Rope. I Don't Live There Now. I Am Cutting Myself Free.

The Breadth Of The Potential Readership Is Also A Factor.
