Lots of comics try stuff out all year round, which is very sensible - I don't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The comics work is very slow, and it basically involves working for sometimes years in isolation and not knowing how the work is going to be received.
By and large, I think that comics work seriously hard. Many have other jobs as well, plus you never really switch off, so you're always working.
Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.
I do believe that sci-fi or historical fiction finds an easy home in comics because there are no budget constraints in regards to the necessary world-building or visual effects necessary to bring those stories to life in other mediums.
We probably put about four or five comic books out a year and probably about two or three art books and various trade paperbacks - maybe four or five of those a year - and that's what we do now.
When I'm working on comics, I have to give myself a million deadlines, or I'd never get anything done. Comics are just so hard to make - I find it very difficult to motivate myself.
When you write for a comic series, many superheroes have 60 or some years of history that you are coming into.
I go to Comic-Con every year, generally with some project of some sort.
I'm sure that no matter what I'm involved in, I'll always be doing comics, at least in some minor capacity.
