Career / Process
You broke in around 2006, and you’re now pushing close to two decades in comics. How has your approach to storytelling changed from those early years to now?
You’ve been at this for nearly 20 years at this point. What’s something you understand about comics today that you wish you knew when you started?
You’re writing across multiple major franchises right now. How do you shift your voice between something like Superman, Iron Man, and G.I. Joe?
On top of all this, you wrote a story in Creepshow Vol. 4 #5 titled Artificial Ignorance. Was that a story you had in a drawer, or…how did that come to be?
Superman / Superboy-Prime
Superboy-Prime has always been a volatile character, but here he feels almost desperate to prove himself. How do you balance his edge with making him someone readers want to follow?
With Manchester Black entering the picture, what excites you about putting those two characters in conflict specifically?
Any Superman elements/tropes you want to touch?
Iron Man
You’ve said Tony Stark is one of your favorite characters. What’s something about Tony that you feel hasn’t been explored enough in past runs?
Madame Masque and A.I.M. feel like they’re operating at a higher level here. What makes them the right villains for this phase of the story?
Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man
Do you have a favorite Universal Monsters adaptation?
Do you have any favorite werewolf stories?
This feels like a very grounded, almost psychological take on the Wolf Man. What drew you to that angle?
Is the when of this story important to the overall experience?
What makes the Wolf Man a character worth revisiting right now?
