Immigration confuses and terrifies me, so why not try to write a comic and make some sense of it?

Immigration Trying Writing
The longer I’ve been writing scripts, the more I find that you have to give the artist more leeway or else you’ll just be disappointed. You can’t force them to draw every image that’s in your head.

Artist Giving Writing
I’m still digesting the ’90s. It takes some time to get perspective.

Perspective Stills
To try and imagine that I’m another person is always going to be hard – whether I’m writing about a truck driver or someone who is gay, who’s trans, who is of a different ethnicity or creed. But it would be boring if I always had to write about myself and my limited viewpoint.

Ethnicity Gay Writing
After 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well.

I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

Doesn’t matter if it’s personal or professional, a good partnership takes work.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person’s hands, and I don’t think many screenwriters can say that.

Hands Thinking Writing
I’m the one who started spreading that particular factoid, about Bendis, Azz and me all being bald Brian’s from Cleveland, just to get my name mentioned in the same sentence as two much-better writers, and it’s worked like a goddamn charm.

It was interesting looking back at the ’80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time – the cliché of history repeating itself.
