Hell Changes Constantly But There Are Certain

I Write Constantly, So It Flows From One Project To The Next, And I Would Edit Everything Endlessly If I Had The Chance. I Can Always See Ways To Improve What I've Done. At The Same Time, Knowing It's All An Ongoing Life's Work Allows Me To Be Less Precious About Blind Alleys, Failed Experiments, And Misfires.

I Do Like To Keep Abreast Of What The Hardcore Vocal Members Of The Comics-reading Audience Are Talking About On Internet Message Boards, But There Are So Few Of Them, As A Percentage Of The Buying Audience, That I Can't Allow Their Opinions To Dictate Story Direction.

I'm Lucky To Have A Job Doing Something I Really Love To Do, And I'm Happy To Accept The Pressures Of Relentless Deadlines Or Reader Expectations As Necessary Evils. It's Probably Not As Stressful As Mining Coal Or Leading Men Into Battle.

X-men Is Not A Story About Superheroes, But A Story About The Ongoing Revolutionary Struggle Between Good/new And Bad/old. The X-men Are Every Rebel Teenager Wanting To Change The World And Make It Better. Humanity Is Every Adult, Clinging To The Past, Trying To Destroy The Future Even As He Places All His Hopes There.

I Prefer Working Out Of Strict Continuity, Because No Normal Human Being Can Have A Firm Grip On The Constantly Shifting Bardo-like Territory Of A Comics Universe, Where Entire Histories Can Be Erased By A Strong Enough Super-sneeze.
