Part of running DC Comics is that it's much larger than Image Comics is, or was. There's a challenge to being one of the industry leaders in that everything you do is scrutinized and watched.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am someone who, from a very young age, was a huge fan of DC Comics.
The decision to work with Marvel for a while isn't any sort of denigration of DC. I had a fantastic time there, I was treated extremely well, I have strong positive feelings about all of my editors and the DC universe of characters, and I look forward to hopefully working with them at some point down the road.
'Watchmen' is a cornerstone of both DC Comics' publishing history and its future.
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.
People look at Marvel movies as epic in scope, but if you look back at the comics, you realise that Marvel heroes were often a reaction to the square-jawed DC characters like Superman, who were flawless and beyond reproach.
I'm not the biggest comic book fan.
If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it's being true to their nature... that's what takes a long time to learn.
Comic art is just different. It's art on its own terms.
The general public has been conditioned to think 'comics = superheroes' for as long as caped crusaders have been around - by critics, mass media, and Marvel and DC themselves, who have what you might call a vested interest.
I love working at Marvel, but it was definitely DC that got me hooked as a reader.
