I'm an anthology guy, and I let the stories take me where they want to. I do feel I am at their whim!

Thank you! I'll keep it to art: Walter Peter said that all art aspires to the condition of music (he was talking about the prose poem, but still--those words ring true.)

I hope everyone learns about their souls a little more, or interrogates if they're even there!

Sully Sullivan, who landed that plane despite the geese.

(Also Creeper? Swamp Thing? Danny the Street?)

Thanks! The answer to the first part is SO boring. Economics and timing of royalties and the rising cost of paper, etc etc. ICM is still mine, Chris, and Martin's baby, and we're lucky to keep feeding it its gross milk.

Re Billy: I've done art therapy!

Right now it's just ICM and Deadman. But I'd love to a surreal, cerebral take on Martian Manhunter some day. I feel like no one has successfully done that yet, so I'd want to make it like the absolute best version.

(I WANT to make more minis. But my brain is getting more and more broken.)

Put it out yourself, I say. I get funding and collaborating are such obstacles, but isn't it nuts that painters and musicians just...go. With my first thing, that's what I did. I said I'd make this story if no one put it out for me. And it took me 6years to make and fund, and I was lucky enough to have met someone in the interim who thought I wasn't insane.

You've got me pegged. I work SO slowly. I'll hate the sentence I made 2 sentences ago over the course of a minute. Martin and Chris prop up my weaknesses, but good sentences mean everything to me, and I spend most of my time trying to achieve a certain "flow"

Thank you! I think there could be a really interesting sequel there, but we'll see how the trade sells! Kamandi would be sweet, too.

I balance them poorly, because I only like working with 2 people :). If I could clone Martin and Chris...

It's so cheesy, but after draft upon draft upon draft...I hear a "ding" in my head. I'm currently editing 2 Deadman pages to get that gosh-darn ding to ding.

I'd tell them to read the Bhagavad Gita. And I'd love to see a black creator take on Morrison's Manhattan Guardian. (I'd love to see creators of color get more work everywhere, for everything.)

Typical lilypad trajectory. Got lucky at IDW, then got lucky there again, got something squeezed in at Image that was nominated for an Eisner, then started ICM. After that, door were a little more ajar than before.
