Jason Aaron Quotes

I have some shorter stories coming out in other books early next year. I might be pitching a re-vamp of Ghost Rider in the spring. We'll see.

I loved the idea of Spider-Man as a kid, and I loved the Todd MacFarlane run in the 1990s, and the first Raimi movies were released when I was in film school. Those were big.

Once I found out that I was playing 'Deathlok,' I unearthed my old comic book collection. I was going home for Christmas, and I have a collection of thousands of comics. I was surprised to see that 90% of them were Marvel. So, I wanted to go through my collection and start there.

'Comic book' has come to mean a specific genre, not a story form, in people's minds. So someone will call 'Die Hard' a 'comic-book movie,' when it has nothing to do with comic books. I'd rather have comics be the vehicle by which stories are told.

I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn't do anything. I mean, he's blind. It wasn't that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite, but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I'd always wanted to do a crime comic.

'Ghost Rider' definitely has an appeal that's far beyond comics.

I can like Michael Keaton's Batman, and I can like Christian Bale's Batman.

I loved 'Deadpool'. I loved the comics, and I loved the script.

Here's the deal: 25 years' worth of Deadpool. This movie comes out 25 years to the day we published him at Marvel, and you couldn't get a better gift if you're a 'Deadpool' fan.

I feel like what we've done in 'Homecoming' is really scratching the surface with Spider-Man.

Deadpool does not exist in any way, shape, or form without me.

Portraying Alex Summers, I want to look as athletic as his character is in the comics.

I think Aquaman feels - and deservedly so - like an A-list, premier DC hero. I hope that carries on; it certainly will carry over to Justice League.

When I drew Captain America in 'The Ultimates,' I hated my Cap, even though some people are like, 'Man, your Cap's cool!' and they made statues out of it.

The Creeper in the 'Katana' series is the same Creeper that will be in 'Villains Month.'

It's always been a dream for me to play a comic book character.

When I first got the audition for Shado, I went online and subscribed to DC Comics and read a bunch on Shado and the Yakuza, just to get to know her character better.

I hadn't read comics really before coming in to shooting the original 'Thor.' During that and beforehand, I read stacks and got my head around it all. We reference, especially when we were putting the script together before we started shooting, other stories.

I don't want to see Superman replaced with Superboy.

Everyone in the world knows 'Spider-Man.' And to be accepted into such a large franchise was overwhelming.

I'd like to get into the superhero genre. I'd love to do either a DC or a Marvel character.

Before we even approached this movie, the 'Fantastic Four' on its own is very unique.

My character is Toni Topaz, and she's from the new-generation Archie Comics. I will be rocking the signature pink hair.

The only way to write Batman, if you get the chance - and I hope everyone out there gets the chance - is to imagine you made him up.

I think our Batman had to be fun, light-hearted, funny, tongue-in-cheek... and I think that made kind of an homage to those earlier comic books, where Batman always had a quip or something.
