I focus a bit more heavily on creating a comics structure for the artist to work from (I write in very full, detailed script for this series) Anne comes in and restructures things to make sure we hit the most important notes, and really directs the choices with narration It's a really fun process, involving[...]

Bernie spends much of Watchmen reading the Black Freighter comic at the newsstand (huh, where you won't find comics anymore — funny, that), which of course places him at Ground Zero for Ozymandias's fake Invader attack Quite literally in fact, as the spot in which he stands is literally right in front of where the[...]

So you look at the sales–Marvel comics are now $4 apiece, and they're thrilled if the sales are over 30,000 When I was at Marvel, the whole world was different We didn't have a single title–we had 75 titles–we didn't have a single one that sold below 100,000 We had the X-Men approaching three quarters[...]

I think the thing that delineates Bond from them is that he's on the side of the more good/less bad guys, and at the end of the day he has a sense of altruism that he's acting in the interest of. And then we have Bond using his defective gadget to his advantage, taking the fight[...]

Bleeding Cool ran a few spoilerific posts on Doomsday Clock #1, but now that the embargo has lifted, everyone else can do the same!
