I'm a fan myself, so I try to write the kind of comics I want to read.
I always wanted to be a writer, but Alan Moore's work and help inspired me to write comics. In some ways the biggest influence on me writing was Punk. There was the idea that you could do something by simply doing it.
I think Joss Whedon is a genius.
I really like Greg Rucka's work. I loved 'Lazarus,' and I loved 'Stumptown.'
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.
It's not easy to convey to someone who doesn't read comics just how Alan Moore has dominated the field since 'Watchmen.'
Yes! I'm the slowest comic-book writer on Earth.
Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven't given out that many interviews.
As much as I'm enjoying stuff out here in Hollywood, I will always think of myself as a comic-book writer who does film and television, not a film and TV writer who occasionally does comics.
He [Stuart Immonen] and I have known each other over email for 18, 19 years or something, so to finally work with him is like kissing the girl that you always wanted to kiss.
Geoff Johns is super talented, super smart. Part of what got me excited about the Aquaman character is his re-envisioning of Aquaman, the character, with 'The New 52.'
One of the best things that happened for me as a playwright is becoming a comic-book writer.
It's absolutely a dream job to get to write for Gwen Stacy.
Geoff Johns is super talented, super smart.
Here Lies Julius Schwartz. He met his last deadline.
I used to be really influenced by Brian Bendis, back in his indie days. But I guess I try to tone that down.
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 would have really loved to have gone on a hiatus to write for Daredevil.
I've been reading Ed Brubaker comics since the first appearance of Ed Brubaker comics and every single time he announces a new title I mutter to myself: ugh! I wish I would've thought of that!
I'll continue doing 'Jingle Belle' as long as I've got a good story for her.
I just remember how cool and exciting and crazy it seemed when Marvel was giving this new 'Ultimate Spider-Man' title to this crime writer Brian Michael Bendis who had never really done any superhero stuff before.
For Cave Carson, I have a co-writer, so that takes off a lot of the pressure.
Even a pretty traditional comic book writer can make valuable contributions to the Internet.
Jody Houser, who writes Mother Panic, has this noir-ish superhero style. She's very adaptable.
For years I've wanted to work with this guy, so to actually write at the top of my scripts "Empress, Script by Mark Millar, Art by Stuart Immonen" is an absolute pleasure.
