" I'm here -- Jeff parker. Competent writer. And he's fascinated with the camera but that's that's a so so you do in the majority York with marble these days -- doing their work I was off first or not you work -- first class which admittedly I dismissed as a long -- accident benefits I dismiss it he dismissed the -- on my -- and then let -- And then I read it -- doctors are irrelevant and -- every month now so so what was the approach with that because it's a little controversy -- that was in time knew he had a continuity."

" It is in continuity. As much as we can possibly make it without saying it's the sixties those that would make all the X-Men like. Sixty yeah. This we thought of it as a gateway -- words like you know it's very easy to grasp the concept of the X-Men through this court there appears -- And we just wanted to bring people in -- here it is here's the very basics of it. And it's kind of a simpler time so we don't have to."

" Or at this by the way were using totally intruding on Darlington -- it's a medical but their pool and so it's all beyond the view the centuries as a character a lot of us about our time went. Which are trying to say is you don't like this century he -- I'm going to change that he cries a lot in such busy trying your book here. Excite you have -- to hear. And the tradition of a crying guerrilla. But I know. We saw a way to make this century. Kind of palatable and find them. But there's also going to you'll have to read it I can't -- gives himself away bit. There's also going to be hints of something else going on in the fact that which -- reading her you know with the century's version of himself business. And act as you go through until you get to last one you'll be able to see little cracks in that veneer. And then the last one's gonna have some stuff that's going to really make people mad so I think got a reason all right well let's and and a man I could put but the and so I need some other stuff coming up from marvel at a little C a come out well see at camp working on the next sixteen to right now -- this finally got a chance to start -- that."

" Right -- yeah. All I guess all right you're sure this is not going to air -- little extra okay. They wouldn't let me do amid another mini series of agents and Dallas.

That I can vary what I do with a more agency it is for me in the more exciting it is and and I think hopefully the more vital work is because I'm doing something that's. Nudity that I haven't done before and so -- elected I like to change it -- but I like to followed in all do something really grim and dark like the other side and then followed was something really light like this. And and I mean. Are you really get a different mindset when you're working until -- because. That the other side was was grim and dark I mean did -- did you do it we do research that you -- but I read that correctly. I actually went over to Vietnam. To college search it yeah I kill the guy to -- up -- and that you know. But to get them that mind -- of that you can do that there yes exactly how life is cheap. Now -- I went over for about three weeks and I I traveled the whole country and and I talk to people and and you know I read a lot of history books while I was there just just immerse myself in it because. When I was working on that book I mean I want it to be able I want to be authentic. Where you know and I'm I'm not American and I you know I grew up after the war and it's I've never personal connection in the material. But I felt like in order to do right. I had it taped it. Make it feel convincing and so the way that I felt like I can do that would be to go over and and actually experience the country for myself. So that was it was an intense experience. But but it was right."

Is this this person at a table and artist Alley it is yeah. Has -- on well that is an overwhelming it's."

" It's. You know it's like the perfect balance really there's not a helluva lot of people but plenty. And I think so you get -- periods when you can just sit down and relax and then. If periods when everybody's coming up when I ask him. Drawings have. Like for the forces blessed. Really yeah get a lot of horse requests now actually not that I that I I had that in my contracts -- anything but horses mostly men ovals this.

" Your style is. Is different than what we've seen a lot of comics like how how would you describe it would you say it's cartoon he -- mean you don't do superheroes you know this stuff like that you do real close and then like sort of real people. Do you like being in the in the Rio what is right okay I mean do you like drawing in the realized it was a fantastic or."

" Yeah yeah. Yeah. I have that's it that's what what's may you know I'd say it makes no sense of -- complete fantasy it's it'll either that's that's kind of the worst thing to me and I'd like. Dragons and with that -- stuff does that has no basis and in reality it's thought I'd you know stuff like sort of ecstatic some things -- like. Superheroes but it's like. Totally sort of like looked in the real world. Let me ask you with the with the escape this I mean you actually didn't even do that this sort of fantastic comic book pages with a plan that way or was like I don't want to draw that. -- I was there was it was planned that way it was sort of like you know I'd do this sort of the sort of the background story and then whenever you -- comics page. -- we didn't want it to look like. I drawn to comics fight this -- that it wouldn't look come. You know I needed some looked like no light and original forties strip settlement that we have we got out of ought to -- to -- those. Those scenes. On the."

" Now when you saw the script spurt for the escapist did you have a feeling to me that was a book that -- really kind of special like.

" I was. I got Janet's. You know it's it's fun this fantastical elements. Really it's like really -- like real like suburban. I'm pleased with the Cleveland it was Cleveland.

" Now if you work to grant Morrison alive and Brian on I mean. Like is it different working in those guys is there a perplexed you click with remorse and a certain way."

" Com. I think it with both served. -- And we just talked about the projects and -- sort of like -- the idea that. That we were coming from the same place in the same with ground as well now I've rarely speak to him very much. Bucks where at least to. Today X to the extent that we sort of get the same references anyway like no way and add grounds and so in some level -- It is his psychic plane made me but time. But as intended like the references throughout throughout the invisible -- we'll certainly the stretch ID with satellite old based in. Like sort of seventies British sculptures. And the like dug the hole of that division acts with them they were old characters from from all use that would sort of like -- executives this kind of psychic. Police force."

" Com. We'll like I think you said that there was a couple of projects he had come up you can't talk about so like I can't help you got on those at all couple --"

" And yeah we got we got enough for announcing one of them yet so -- Going to keep on going to keep it on Iraq since just it's a project but it but it's diet on what I what I will say -- it's exciting this is the first time. Really -- around a couple of years I'm I'm doing interior is again that spends a lot of time looking after a little kid in I'm really just on covers. For along time of dozens of sports illustration but time. Yeah so I'd say it's good to be back doing interior work it is."

" You do you get do you start to miss it you get excited to do that again I'm very excited -- yeah yeah I I've -- and it's you know it's nice to. It's it's nice to spend some time you know he's been -- like a week doing a cup so -- to get in the -- tell the story again and -- That this that the characters in. You by the -- doing stuff that's so grounded in reality a lot of time is -- challenge you to make those pages sort of dynamic -- you don't have somebody blowing up a building and it's it's more people sort of talking his."

" I'm not like science. -- to me a lot of the action is then this is the expressions and gestures. No facts that is is as exciting. To me as an artist. It's not just an oversight.

Is bigger than ever with was maybe five years ago. I -- it. So on the so in in terms of contents of comics in general -- you know movies and -- against the -- coming -- but how do you feel that the state of comics -- you looking -- as energy for the biggest publishers when you look at the comics industry -- industry here oh absolutely absolutely I mean we're we we're we're growing young are -- you don't that -- just just just you know the natural conflict itself where were everywhere -- permeating you know. To me she media meet me should entertainment. -- comics are are now you know part of the did -- every -- vernacular -- conversation. And company movies have obviously proven to be tremendous success because of the Hulk iron and -- bad in this here. And the case you don't need it its its -- only get better -- really easily get better army of people to keep expecting was the other shoe going to drop because that's usually what had happened in the past. But you don't know you know looking back it you know the first action movies vitamin and is coming used Columbine now and every year people are asking. So is this the end of the company's movie and you know. It's been close to eight years now so and so -- we stopped asking that question and you got a bunch of pipeline that in -- you know at Hewlett laying -- the adventures planned for the movies and so that's going to be for awhile yeah I mean that -- that the new generation of companies -- and he did this great. Couple movies you know over these past few years now from the from the marble with the view that what makes this different is that now the going to connect and it's something that that. The east -- would never be done. But we're gonna do it we're actually we are doing it then that's -- and it's a connection with in the marvel universe that I always drop green that the you know the shared -- love that position with the comet some as you edit all the titles some of that becoming a little pocket. Com you're not universe the pocket Condit is happening yet the Dixie debating over here got -- and over here to captain America over here. How has that a ball from the original kind of shared universe and coastal shared but it's also you know things don't always drilling noise. Yeah I need you you'll have to do that I don't think it's really any different than than that what's happened in the past it's to a later flight of how many titles your publishing. You don't depending on the economy including about on the on the -- the health of the company industry you know as a publisher you can be publishing you know when he titles among the restoring the good times we publishing eighty year this time back -- tomorrow's -- 150 titles -- look. When you do that it has no feasible way you can tie everything together and plus it's also unfair to title -- together -- in in in in in a direct sense. Because readers just don't have enough money to afford it all. So we try to get people pocket events. And it was well this tip of the hat to the other and we we just we used to -- happening concurrently but they don't silly kept it tying together. Seeing it live it cosmic event happening here we have tomorrow we use of that happening over there we have the ultimate stuff happening here. And the assumption is that you know what you don't have to -- at all. But if you dig a couple of these things and sure here we go here here that the that the that the the tent -- he could sort of reached for. But you don't have to vital and and again we produce a lot of titles so we have to try to keep that tricky to segregated in in in in a loose fashion. Special look at the books or some sort got you look at some like ever bigger captain America at some point there's a decision to just got to -- let him do his thing. Where's our other books like I expect to appear David let's -- to be pulled in by these cross overs and that's how those decisions made -- what point you know as a kind of on a case by case there. No we we make those decisions in in in the big. Writers' room yeah we we we have these these semi annual. Creators summits were cigarette we talk about stuff. And and while well you'll -- is operating independently and captain America he's very well. Well aware of what's happening in the -- vendors picture in -- universe picture. And believing that he's -- stuffit. Com he's just you know doing in in a much looser way but eventually you can see the captain America book. Dove tailored to the bigger picture and it has to because you -- it it's such a big part of the -- universe. But we vehicle at these guys operate independently for the most part. So and within -- that doesn't work that tennis is delaying out for years is this kind of now kind of all coming to fruition tell your guys like master plan and then then we're all enjoying it aren't good at noted that it is always the master plan we we're we're usually find out. I sit pretty solidly for the next twelve months and as you start looking at two years recovery we're we're we're we're in broad strokes route were great. Well planned out it's we kinda what's coming down the pike. So it does help sort of died all the other books in the oval or round with an entirely that the closer X-Men that this for adventures cyclists were the guys the ultimate surprise but you're gonna have about. So -- leave you do take careful measures to to do this right. And you know the mistreatment of the very important part of our success right now is the fact that we are so well planned out -- that operating by the seat of our pants. -- so on the as the X-Men current status over the loss of the experts and some Saito prevail fractured and we say there's a lot of criticism are very lands are and to attend -- on your dress -- a very kind of public manner and have always been -- by the kind of candidly -- with fans when a situation to do you know when criticism comes how do you how do you approach dealing with that her how to you know like EM."

" You know my thing is she still shy away from it you know don't you know I don't like sweeping -- under the carpet pretending -- they don't exist so. -- addicted -- the misconception that fans have sometimes it'd do their -- to sit on the net because very easy to say things and and then then ran away from the because the witness you are. It's two to assume that we're sort of sitting here we don't care about what this we do that we don't care about the uterus were actually -- to destroy it is really silly you know we'd all of comics and that's what we do this for eight leaving. -- you know a guy like Greg -- is out there and and and trying to do you know horror you know -- to do whatever it is cities does this part that really upsets people. It's just silly you know an -- and into what's. What outcome to what outcome DT in it it it does it was one particular -- it that that was commenting on it. Com who who dedicated entire you know. Website at believed it acted to playing where's Waldo with Greg's our delightful what is your ultimate outcome of this. You know are just taking glee at his expense our youth are you looking to get inspired. Just just let us know because you know when you really think about it that's -- supports himself and an anti -- in. Is that big what you want to do. I don't ever heard response from it but of what they they never respond -- did -- say is that I never got a response win but I just think you know. Since you to think about it and look I holy -- if you don't like the book if you -- this happen to say you know what not my cup the I don't dig. But you know sometimes you block and want to persecute but creator and I just I just. Don't understand that mentality. So so I I I like stand up for my guys are any fear in general because just just think you know. -- this just pull back with a particular date comic book first a lot of -- it's not politics.

Nudity that I haven't done before and so -- elected I like to change it -- but I like to followed in all do something really grim and dark like the other side and then followed was something really light like this. And and I mean. Are you really get a different mindset when you're working until -- because.

" Some here in Darwin -- cameras and David bullets Booth with grant Morrison and James sign owner of the isotope comics. Gentlemen and I haven't done through the -- we sound like movie Julia. It into a all American assassin who thought so at the convention lots of people are costumes they just saw some go casual I'll see you guys are setting it is standard for dressing at the dimension and I'll. Join us up would you not go casual we did our concerts that but he addressed a joint press. Just trust right does he foes and a bed looking so do I didn't think that we -- No -- we have poem looking like that's -- and shy of the -- I I. So what are you gonna get mentioned you're looking you're serious study of how did you pick the Susie ran today and in was a decision making allergy like a real green today there. Assisted radio and say it is deemed it if you think is that Kenneth Beatty whose dream I don't know why but I have to look at I wore green yesterday with us because -- you -- Putin's hope that we wouldn't that there's no doubt that let me tell you this he's in Cuba right it's true both -- do fictional. It's something ridiculous almost -- they becomes doing it. -- Well you guys are set a new standard for the dress code and we -- and I spent -- it's time for you to step up you know I don't I'm severely lacking we want to combine makes you and every once desolate and every one in the -- this. The big of the events in a classy affair it there was a big mutual I couldn't Chicago convention. That make. San Diego comic con so much that. I mean -- opened an account what everyone tell everybody your computer we snuggle spill rooms that would ban -- I don't know he's been having an office at best at what the trojans hit the likelihood we'll definitely. -- yeah. At the -- moment as well you guys even you know retain its."

" sitting here in the backroom of the moral Booth with that the beaches -- hey don't commit -- it get a very good -- so -- become a San Diego for seven -- eight years and mama I've -- few years ago marble just had a couple folding tables and now you guys have like compound. That means that they don't there's you we had no growth at all remember you guys are disappointed with suicide chest after the have an idea this huge -- a huge presence are you happy with where -- gone in there ten years that are cheaper oh yeah and yet you don't act absolutely and yet I've I've I've been editor in chief during -- very fortuitous time to me is it's what one of the luckiest hunted to the editor in chief. The company's been growing -- by leaps and -- we are -- movie studio who would have thought there right it's it's amazing good movies about it but -- right so the CIA is it's it's an incredible time in any is sort of mind blowing -- looked around and and that you know this distaste that we're in right now. Is bigger than ever with was maybe five years ago. I -- it. So on the so in in terms of contents of comics in general -- you know movies and -- against the -- coming -- but how do you feel that the state of comics -- you looking -- as energy for the biggest publishers when you look at the comics industry -- industry here oh absolutely absolutely I mean we're we we're we're growing young are -- you don't that -- just just just you know the natural conflict itself where were everywhere -- permeating you know. To me she media meet me should entertainment. -- comics are are now you know part of the did -- every -- vernacular -- conversation. And company movies have obviously proven to be tremendous success because of the Hulk iron and -- bad in this here. And the case you don't need it its its -- only get better -- really easily get better army of people to keep expecting was the other shoe going to drop because that's usually what had happened in the past. But you don't know you know looking back it you know the first action movies vitamin and is coming used Columbine now and every year people are asking. So is this the end of the company's movie and you know. It's been close to eight years now so and so -- we stopped asking that question and you got a bunch of pipeline that in -- you know at Hewlett laying -- the adventures planned for the movies and so that's going to be for awhile yeah I mean that -- that the new generation of companies -- and he did this great. Couple movies you know over these past few years now from the from the marble with the view that what makes this different is that now the going to connect and it's something that that. The east -- would never be done. But we're gonna do it we're actually we are doing it then that's -- and it's a connection with in the marvel universe that I always drop green that the you know the shared -- love that position with the comet some as you edit all the titles some of that becoming a little pocket. Com you're not universe the pocket Condit is happening yet the Dixie debating over here got -- and over here to captain America over here. How has that a ball from the original kind of shared universe and coastal shared but it's also you know things don't always drilling noise. Yeah I need you you'll have to do that I don't think it's really any different than than that what's happened in the past it's to a later flight of how many titles your publishing. You don't depending on the economy including about on the on the -- the health of the company industry you know as a publisher you can be publishing you know when he titles among the restoring the good times we publishing eighty year this time back -- tomorrow's -- 150 titles -- look. When you do that it has no feasible way you can tie everything together and plus it's also unfair to title -- together -- in in in in in a direct sense. Because readers just don't have enough money to afford it all. So we try to get people pocket events. And it was well this tip of the hat to the other and we we just we used to -- happening concurrently but they don't silly kept it tying together. Seeing it live it cosmic event happening here we have tomorrow we use of that happening over there we have the ultimate stuff happening here. And the assumption is that you know what you don't have to -- at all. But if you dig a couple of these things and sure here we go here here that the that the that the the tent -- he could sort of reached for. But you don't have to vital and and again we produce a lot of titles so we have to try to keep that tricky to segregated in in in in a loose fashion. Special look at the books or some sort got you look at some like ever bigger captain America at some point there's a decision to just got to -- let him do his thing. Where's our other books like I expect to appear David let's -- to be pulled in by these cross overs and that's how those decisions made -- what point you know as a kind of on a case by case there. No we we make those decisions in in in the big. Writers' room yeah we we we have these these semi annual. Creators summits were cigarette we talk about stuff. And and while well you'll -- is operating independently and captain America he's very well. Well aware of what's happening in the -- vendors picture in -- universe picture. And believing that he's -- stuffit. Com he's just you know doing in in a much looser way but eventually you can see the captain America book. Dove tailored to the bigger picture and it has to because you -- it it's such a big part of the -- universe. But we vehicle at these guys operate independently for the most part. So and within -- that doesn't work that tennis is delaying out for years is this kind of now kind of all coming to fruition tell your guys like master plan and then then we're all enjoying it aren't good at noted that it is always the master plan we we're we're usually find out. I sit pretty solidly for the next twelve months and as you start looking at two years recovery we're we're we're we're in broad strokes route were great. Well planned out it's we kinda what's coming down the pike. So it does help sort of died all the other books in the oval or round with an entirely that the closer X-Men that this for adventures cyclists were the guys the ultimate surprise but you're gonna have about. So -- leave you do take careful measures to to do this right. And you know the mistreatment of the very important part of our success right now is the fact that we are so well planned out -- that operating by the seat of our pants. -- so on the as the X-Men current status over the loss of the experts and some Saito prevail fractured and we say there's a lot of criticism are very lands are and to attend -- on your dress -- a very kind of public manner and have always been -- by the kind of candidly -- with fans when a situation to do you know when criticism comes how do you how do you approach dealing with that her how to you know like EM."

" You know my thing is she still shy away from it you know don't you know I don't like sweeping -- under the carpet pretending -- they don't exist so. -- addicted -- the misconception that fans have sometimes it'd do their -- to sit on the net because very easy to say things and and then then ran away from the because the witness you are. It's two to assume that we're sort of sitting here we don't care about what this we do that we don't care about the uterus were actually -- to destroy it is really silly you know we'd all of comics and that's what we do this for eight leaving. -- you know a guy like Greg -- is out there and and and trying to do you know horror you know -- to do whatever it is cities does this part that really upsets people. It's just silly you know an -- and into what's. What outcome to what outcome DT in it it it does it was one particular -- it that that was commenting on it. Com who who dedicated entire you know. Website at believed it acted to playing where's Waldo with Greg's our delightful what is your ultimate outcome of this. You know are just taking glee at his expense our youth are you looking to get inspired. Just just let us know because you know when you really think about it that's -- supports himself and an anti -- in. Is that big what you want to do. I don't ever heard response from it but of what they they never respond -- did -- say is that I never got a response win but I just think you know. Since you to think about it and look I holy -- if you don't like the book if you -- this happen to say you know what not my cup the I don't dig. But you know sometimes you block and want to persecute but creator and I just I just. Don't understand that mentality. So so I I I like stand up for my guys are any fear in general because just just think you know. -- this just pull back with a particular date comic book first a lot of -- it's not politics. And we got elected officials were just trying to do the job we're trying to do his best possible I guess everyone who's in this industry controlling radiant couple who were editing a couple. We do this because you loved it you know. It's it's -- if you were digging ditches. Then I could certainly see some of singing on just to get it -- religion I don't really enjoyed doing this. But I've got a feed -- family. You do comics out of what really and so on. So here at San Diego and and I'm sure you've been discovered and east at this point do you still have any gambling moments yourself when you know have been named walks fine you just overlook that need him. You don't on occasion but but you know I I've never I've never been. Much that way anyway you know they've given a few artists that I've always loved when efforts that the meeting was really thrilled. But for the most part you know you know I -- is sort of this was part of fraternity. And and a about a celebrity -- so I don't have many of those moments. But you know -- He keeps it to -- that ridiculous coming here to see how massive this thing has helped to roam beyond anyone's wildest imagination. And that's pretty cool that's when you sort of walking to sucking up. We have this is this pretty remarkable."
