I Am As Resilient As The Steel

Ever Since 1980, Sci-fi Has Generally Been More Bladerunner Than Star Wars. People Talk About Star Wars Being The Most Influential Movie Of All Time And Creating The Blockbuster Along With Jaws And That Sort Of Thing, But Really There's Not Been A Space Opera That Anyone Can Go And See.

I Don't See One As Bring Better Or More Literate Than The Other And There's A Real Buzz To Not Only Writing About A Character I Love Like Superman, But Also Writing Something That Kids Can Enjoy.

Likewise, I See No Shame In Writing Captain America Or Wolverine.

I Just Love The Fact That All My Pals Are Basically Looked After. You Know, We Have These Amazing Deals, These Guys Split 50 Percent. We Have Ownership 50 Percent, All The Bonuses 50 Percent, And Everybody's Going To Be Alright. So Going Forward Into The Future, Every One Of These Millarworld Projects, As We Call Them, 50 Percent Partners On Everything. So It's Just A Really Happy Environment To Be Working In.

The Success [of The X-men], I Think, Is For Two Reasons. The First Is That, Creatively, The Book Was Close To Perfect ... But The Other Reason Is That It Was A Book About Being Different In A Culture Where, For The First Time In The West, Being Different Wasn't Just Accepted, But Was Also Fashionable. I Don't Think It's A Coincidence That Gay Rights, Black Rights, The Empowerment Of Women And Political Correctness All Happened Over Those Twenty Years And A Book About Outsiders Trying To Be Accepted Was Almost The Poster-boy For This Era In American Culture.
