The Animated Books Pay The Lowest Rates

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.

Would You Rather See A Super Soldier Battling Nazis Or Something More Serious? Or Lesbians Down A Coal Mine? Generally, The Films Are Engaging In The Same Way As The Comics Are. It's No Coincidence That The Biggest Movies Are Genre-related, Whether It's Lord Of The Rings Or Comic Books.

Writers Are The Most Terrible Kleptomaniacs.

I Just Trust The People Involved. Marvel And Dc For The Last 16 Years - Is That 90 Percent Of The Time It's Incredible Top Talent. Like, This Is What Makes It Different From The Pre-2000 Superhero Movies. I Would Say, Except Tim Burton And Richard Donner, It Was Generally, Comic Book Movies Were Done By Guys Who Weren't That Into The Material And People Who Didn't Really Respect The Stuff. But As Everything, Whether It's Wolverine, X-men, Avengers, Batman, All These Things, It's Just Been Done By Top-tier People. I Have Total Confidence That They'll Continue That Tradition Of Being Great.

Pretty Much All Comic-book People, Like All Hollywood People, For The Most Part, Are Pretty Liberal. I Think Especially Uk Writers. Alan Moore Is Probably The Most Radical Guy You'll Ever Meet. I Grew Up Loving Those Guys, So My Heroes, As A Kid, Were Radical Cartoonists, Essentially. I Couldn't Help But - I Grew Up In A Left-wing Household. But I Do Think It's Fun, Writing Right-wing Characters. I've Found It Interesting, Just As A Writer, To Get Inside Their Heads And Make Them Likeable.
