The absolute opposite of what creators NEED to do in any respect.
Rule
#1
of any comic book adaptation: GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT 🤷🏻♂️
When you have an actor who embodies a beloved character so perfectly, you keep him. Especially after you JUST made him announce his return 🤯

following on from Zack Snyder's enlightening comments about superheroes, I feel compelled to try my hand at a Mickey Mouse comic in which, driven by his own demons and life in the modern age of family entertainment, he fucking kills everybody 'cos, Wake the fuck UP people...

This is what artist have Ben fighting for years now. We matter and if the publishing company’s PR account can’t be bothered to credit or mention the artist it just adds fuel to the idea that only writers matter in the visual medium that is comics. Do better.

It's always sad to hear of the death of a fellow comic book pro but when it's a legend like Neal Adams, it feels seismic. You simply can't understate the effect Neal had on the industry. There's a clear line in the sand, a before Neal and an after Neal.

So That tweet went nuts. Whilst I do appreciate the show of 'support' there are too many using it for their own agenda of bashing the new DCU set up and

what is it with Snyderverse fans? I can dislike something and I'm not telling them NOT to like what they like, that's fine but folk that don't even follow me getting all aggressive because I don't like what they like is damn weird. Like a militant cult.

Read another, very positive review, sent to me for Batman's Grave. Went into much detail over why the story was enjoyed, the characters and such. Never once mentioned the art. I drew every issue of it (and inked 9.5 of them). Not a single word.

I grew up reading DC comics and they are my sole reason for wanting to do the job but, for some reason, my work there, when I do it, never seems to catch light. Marvel always seems to be where it just connects and works best yet I have no childhood connection to any of it.

Working with Paul Neary over many years, he was an absolute master of texture and (despite often complaining about it) never shirked on the amount of ridiculous detail I threw at him. Look at this for inking:

Finally watched ZSJL. Boy that was a long movie. Could have been half an hour shorter if played at normal speed though. Different movie to be sure but I found it boring. I shouldn't find a movie with Bats, Super, Flash, WW and Aquaman boring. My kids felt the same. Cue the hate:

Comics are no longer the medium by which the public engage with and discover the great superhero characters. Movies, TV and even Licensing reach for more people and make DCE and Marvel much, MUCH more money. A batman kite will make far more dough than a Batman comic.

That just because a marvel or DC movie thanks you, doesn’t mean you’ve earned a portion of the billion dollar box office.

Make some fucking decent superman movies. Proper four quadrant things not the daft mature shit. It’s no surprise that out of ALL of the previous ones Aquman and WW were the most successful. They were fun. They weren’t fucking dark. Not rocket science.

Early attempts to find the structure of the TARDIS before the dove it had to be built in and budget pushed restrictions on us that then led to what we came up with. Structurally, The Smith/Capaldi TARDIS was closest to intention, though with my bigger pylons.

It's a shame my Hawkman run with

George Perez was an absolute staple of my childhood comics reading. His Titans work changed the way I looked at storytelling and in many ways that decompression I later used was as much in response to my trying to capture how reading a Perez comic made me feel.

our youngest, about to turn 12 has pretty much just discovered Super hero movies. He loved Spidey NWH and just sat through Shazam for the second time. It's fun watching him discover this stuff. I don't think he's really put it together that I do super heroes for a living yet tho!

Doesn’t matter if your a writer, artist, composer or any other creative, ideas are a joy but they aren’t the job. The job is made of work. Those ideas are the first footstep not the whole walk. The walk is work. I can say shit like this because I spent enough years fucking it up

According to James Gunn, the following New 52 books were ‘among [his] favorites’:

•Action Comics - Grant Morrison
•Wonder Woman - Azzarello
•Suicide Squad - Adam Glass
•Animal Man - Lemire
•Batgirl -

I’ve come close a few times to being the writer, artist or both on the Superman monthly but it never quite worked out for one reason or another. I don’t think my career will be quite complete without at least an absolutely fucking epic run on the title. One day.
