I saw 'True Blood' once, and I like the jazzy feel of it and stuff.

I was such a fan of 'True Blood;' I knew the essence of it.

Urban Fantasy is a subgenre pretty much designed for teenagers. It's pretty twee, but I adore it. I've been trying to come up with an Urban Fantasy comic ever since I'd read the Nancy Collins 'Sonja Blue' series years ago.

'Grimm,' I think, is a unique show in a lot of ways. There is certainly nothing on TV that looks like 'Grimm'.

I love 'True Blood!'

I love 'Afterlife with Archie.'

I do more research about 'Lumberjanes' than I did for a story of medieval knights.

'Afterlife With Archie' - they're doing a great job.

'Joker' was a violent, dark, and brutal book, so I wanted to do something a little less heavy. I played around with the idea of a children's book, and that eventually became 'Noel.'
