Character and story are suggested by the voice in the words themselves.

I feel it's very important to let individual writers' voices come through. But the character has to be consistent.

But at the same time, the commonplace statement about them is true: every character is the hero of his own story. Each has a justification for his actions that is convincing to him. It's fun to give these people voices.

Stories are amazing and powerful because they can resonate with people depending on their needs and experiences and speak truths we need to hear in that moment in time.

One of the key characteristics of the comic book medium is that it is not brought to life by just one voice.

When it comes to the form the narrative will take, whether first person, third person, or Aunt Grace's cat, I usually find that the story tells me which voice it prefers, and that often changes as I go along. And in the end it really doesn't matter as long as the author can rig those voices all in harness to pull the same load.

To combine telling an interesting story with brilliantly written characters is the most difficult thing to do.

Stories are the rich, unseen underlayer of the most ordinary moments.

I think original voices get noticed. But most importantly, I think you should have a story to tell.
