" Welcome to garden shed to get -- They have it about these trees -- Don't want to disturb the leads like an ice cooler -- is you -- this. And -- the camera -- I've -- was brought to you by godaddy.com and netflix.com."

" you're gonna professionals and why start now if you."

" I'm here that a warrant greater empowered -- on OK but they saw and how -- one of -- discoveries I've made recently and I've eaten up all five volumes I love it. The origin of -- he's come from a similar scenario here in constant sketches -- also the -- evidence."

" Yeah house he -- years ago during a period of under employment of sticky on a lot of commissions. And it's fair number the word we're they damsel -- pitcher Jose. And after afterward with a long and athletic -- kind of like a border just doing ten outs so I thought I'd do a due -- continuing story and developed here -- habits and out of nowhere developed complexity and going to be Gabriel comic vigilant. So we're taking that -- kind of pick up and then turning into a character in a supporting cast Eric is now it's a sprawling so pop persevere so opera. How how on how is that evolution been from that one idea to a big grand story. -- it's it's -- it's been fun I -- I to kind of alarmed that. This they're random thing became a sort of magnum opus but it it kind of has it's actually a -- it'll do a lot of the a lot of lot of stuff that comes to realize that. That that it had to options -- of the material so it's actually been lost on them. And there's a lot of mom you know kind of you know sexiness and want -- on this did you people sometimes some kind of dismiss it because they just see the girl looked up -- Jim Moore. Is that is that a stumbling block. It can be can be for some people but but overall as -- and -- too bad of an issue. I mean -- here Dick humorless easily -- to break the view the book and definitely. Can keep it could throw some people but overall assessment too bad and and you're not only an artist Leo so Ryder incidents of our and it's an opportunity to kind of combine the two is that the kind of project the apart to the most are you doing the writing and art and art for. I actually actually prefer straight writing this cover drawing it's kind of -- base that it's it's very time consuming and part of an inside I'd rather be. Address I'd rather be running full time but this is that this what this in the -- keep working so. Columbine five empowered do you have a set and the story or you're just gonna do as many easy -- I do have a sad ending but much how long it's gonna take you to get there so. In theory the economics market mine and my core ailing and them altogether this you know I was I did die like. 200 pages in four months the last one. Do it -- scheduling screw up and Mike Andrews messed up big time but it. I handed the economics hold up that probably would go like fifty Tony volumes. While us us us like a -- yeah basement I don't. So and you -- in the arts file with it is you know kind of Hensley non colored it do you think someday they'll be a color version are you to keep it that kind of rough and it's Hensley. For the south -- for the so I do myself it'll remain black like it's easier I don't have to worry about it or about other people or. Or getting other people paid adequately but but I'm thinking of we're thinking of possibly expect off stuff -- other artists writing. And powered stores possibly and that we're probably being color is good because come it would probably help -- that but at. With the with pencil material the coloring -- this is a bit of an issue. And that its its its simplest and fastest New York street traded pencil on of the regular power stuff so. So all in power characters which -- your favorite great. It is strictly to the dialogues to teach people it's my favorite is -- plus nobody said that -- yet incredibly elaborate kind of just. I'm I have -- bombing the crap out of my thesaurus and it -- all. This credit -- from having that we could possibly figure out as dialogue. -- he's my favorite to not write dialogue at least."

" I'm nearly Jason Aaron and harder today I'm doing great I bet you've got a whole lot of stuff going on -- the list of the things you have -- working. -- still going strong."

" Now you're entering."

" It was last issue is in his twenties. Of scalps yeah thirty. Thirty that's right there wouldn't you think that we might I know and you can see where a mat with a convention out but it's still going strong and use double long term plan that it would you know how long it's gonna be at this point."

" I've avoided saying like a specific issue number but it but there are active there's just started thirtieth the first part of this bring you our public knowing. That's really kind of way everything's been building to you for these first thirty seasons. So overall this is kind of the crux of the story that midpoint of the story. So I could mean a couple more years do little more a little less aware and we'll see and act two now. Yeah okay but this really sets the stage for everything -- to comic kind of changes scenes and a very dramatic way. And you know it I know I know where everything's going I just don't know exactly how long it's gonna take us to get it now. You've been right."

" This for a while this is your city your first. Real ongoing book has been around for a long time how's it different writing it now than you know before -- registering little bits of things that that this when he had to. Sheppard along such a long time you find it easier or is it too much to contain."

" Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's hard on its you know and and I had everything planned out kind of from the beginning exactly what needed to happen. I can get to the end of that outline at this point so I'm working on the next when home. So it's you know it's it's it's great to be able to move between the work Pryor's stuff and in his scalp to. Each has its own challenges and what I would wanna do nothing but neither one is could -- be able to go between with the."

" Team now having an -- going through it though and you had an -- have you found that it took a diversion that you didn't expect it to you in scalpers pretty much going according to plan. Together LA there's like -- little diversions here and there like some of the standalone issues that we've done our things and planned on. But I just wanted to spend a little more time this character. -- but in terms of the big. Big plot it everything's pretty much stayed exactly as I Clinton. That's watching over the mark or use your big announcement is that you're you'll be viewing pleasure Macs with Steve Dillon. Steve Dillon. Critical Iraq you know it's -- right. And and you're feeling your basically your you're running the -- and issues that's that's pretty great they'll they'll put it like that well I mean like that's that's already think of the comment you're gonna expect that that makes me nervous Iowa don't wanna make you nervous I want to do your best work. Some what. -- taking you take on the punished here. That that you feel like you're making your own and it is something that you would expect yeah eleven that's the big challenge evidence of a huge fan of -- huge fan of everything he did on that book."

" Bad debt to -- it's not just of this punish him but it's ever been but that's what the best books marvels published the last few years. -- but that's. So so I was excited for the chances to -- moment the same time it's very intimidating to be following that let alone working with Steve news. It you know I had huge creature fans love it. Because those so that's the twisted that the thing I can I'm bringing to it that's a little different as -- again. Max versions of the hiking in Apple's. And -- longer -- story as opposed to the stuff started on it which was pretty standalone arts. So -- to be one big story. The first -- it's really the rise of the kingpin. And with the team that are around you know -- won't be too far behind. So really see frank kind of facing -- it's bigger than anything he's ever face in the -- Ceres. Is gonna knocking down to the lowest point we've ever receding. Does the odds are gonna be stacked against -- like never before it really. These enemies are going to be able to get into his hand -- of the now it's still something about his origin that we've never seen before. Now do you find it I guess."

" Greeting or or or to not have to deal with the marvel continuity as a or or or is you know is like a good thing to have around. But it's it's good to be able to -- concedes yeah tended to do what I wanted to. What would weapon X and going to be able to do that and you know it would punish them able to just pull things do whatever I want so -- I -- it's it's. I like do with a big crossover stuff like it did the secret invasion storyline and it can -- and a dark green when shots of that stuff -- fun but. I did it today it probably prefer to -- left in my own little corner into Cirque -- long -- story and let it let it go yet yet it you know it's funny because you've done. We start off and out of -- on -- in vertigo and then you come over and you. You really -- to big fan favorites of -- the wolverines -- and the punishing they're like. We're -- where you wanna go from here like what other kinds carriages used in working on it marvel wherever."

" Plus I'm really anxious to write the team that is my favorite really marvel character period and I got to ready for one panel and and Wolverine 173 years have before. Which was a huge stereos like one and one -- the things poker game that he has. Some really anxious to bring him and to Paige is a weapon so wanna do the wolverines dating another target Lebanon's. -- are there a lot of characters here there had left to right senate seat is secured there had been wanting to write since they came to marvel and I get around announced that -- get to use him in goes straighter which is huge so. But yeah that's the two books that focus -- on right now Wolverine and minister of books I plan on being on for the next couple years. Beyond that I know we'll see. I don't wanna be just the guys who who writes characters they'd kill and break its -- and -- people the do you have a fantastic four like -- opinion itself I -- have a fantastic four. So let's make got out of its we'll say it was impeccable."

" Back in New York earlier this year our staff writer Paul Montgomery joined us for the shoot and he was really was really excited to do some interviews god bless and he went out he was full heart he's a little courage he -- he went to talk to Mike Norton. You know I shot. Not. A professional career is over. Anyway so skin forwards in just -- right. And then and later shown to these services go -- while Mike Romo another step prior joined us and we're gonna want it burned again we were a little hesitant I'll be honest but -- I was impressed that he took the initiative on himself. I wish she wouldn't have misrepresented us about Robinson now."

" Yeah yeah you'll -- this yeah its. Program. I'm sorry I'm sorry you --"

" Anyway I like the -- the line."

" He hasn't spoke to me since then yeah that's not a problem not there yet but at San Diego this year were excited because our staff writer and -- Steve's here. -- just -- eight on oh hi Dana and Jimmy flew over Saint Louis good join the team. I am not a construct of -- I'm an I'm an entirely new personable person I guess saw we're gonna -- to the might give you Cameron having autism interviews. That's all right. Frankly I mean I'm only here I mean this only happens once here what am I gonna walk around with a microphone and camera the whole time what it wasted. --"

" Let us know everything you're doing this all wrong."

" I'm pretty area do wonderful so was a big show for you this year we get the collected assists and edition. A beautiful -- soft every habitat that all came out and that's really great really really happy an excellent so I as a -- I trilogy has been one of the books of the past year than ever so many people talk about all the way up to like folks have marvels of might that. How is that -- been received from you like how is it into a kind of have like and it did indeed look on an."

" Perhaps it's it's been really nice you know it's always did -- Do reconnaissance. Solitary thing when you start to get feedback on something you've done so it's obvious he really gratifying it. And you know it's even better in the feedback is positive -- precipitous but it yeah."

" So I'm saving new book the share of vertigo and nobody on nobody was basically take on the invisible man to listen so what what was your kind of taken -- why -- concept."

" Well I mean people have read -- guys that know -- tennis. Conservatives are exploring rural communities and small town life and stuff tonight I thought that the idea that the success of each of wells novel of I think have been just strangers showing up at a small town is sort of turning it upside down would be. It's an interesting starting point for me to continue during an -- and it's been good maybe do it with just -- even have a Paul Pierce you know about the darker feel that's fine with that sun and I've always loved drying the you know the end of sorter that goes into the cool manage these characters. About a response."

" Whatever I thought that what was interesting about it was that it was traveling into a man that had a small town -- and had that kind of relationships that Essex County also had as well and it's almost like."

" If you see like an invisible man movers I think it's sort of like what would happen after the movie's over just like you know been sitting around -- that is the benefits. Again -- cool Odyssey another bucket Mario coming out of -- he tells about that on there yet think post apocalyptic road movie. Steadily got weird mix of horror high adventure. And then sort of a quieter moments at their work is for. It's it's that and I keep striving as Bambi -- mad max but a little boy with deer antlers and a big county that are traveling across the country. It decided to love about the idea and harassing that's and I have. It just our Mac team is doing. Somehow sympathetic -- because that's embargoes well. Yeah it's very it's an ongoing monthly books so. How so doing an ongoing monthly how does that change from do you -- you -- graphic novels previously it you know there's a bit of alert anchored I think within nobody where I was. It was first I haven't sent each count if forests are trying something it's I didn't really have relatives. And I do is have a top south of -- went back on that any easier I think it's -- did. I think there's a bit of a learning they're doing that nobody but then I feel like I've kind of gotten over that now with -- and I think I'm using that's when he teammates. About the structure really well -- likely to get that anger at the issue I'm actually doing and it's -- and icicles. This will -- story at time and dads kids go. So I saw as a writer artist what is your kind of process he stripped out all things -- do you do -- first of an anti approaching guy -- the script -- dialogue and yeah I dutiful script in damages to -- the pencils and guidance religiously and I hate crimes they didn't even if."

" And so on site senior couple shows over the past year in and -- doesn't like it -- Chicago windy city a depressing had a bunch of us kind of pieces that you're selling and there -- some super here's something there there's some cold as a Miss America our memories of last. Pat how -- people react clinic on the table only see here is they know the drawing your style which is a little."

" The people really think is likely to be it Eddie thank you can interpret those classic characters like if you -- interesting way people really react to it. Adding that loves it rare comics and I know I'm a huge fan boys I would do that stuff so it's great to -- Sunday night -- and the superior Gallagher. Well maybe maybe there's always something happening that it."

" Excellent well we'll little cover that then the cool thing very idea. -- some ideas for its new website sir I did I -- It's been on my back -- and held off. -- So you need to register those domain names are set up -- web sites you go to our good friends godaddy. We want to thank responses episode. They've got tons of it offers -- together revision3.com foreclosed godaddy. Because I can't wait to see all that have a coupon codes you get up percent of doctor ordered dollars and -- there -- bundles -- through your dream. Like he's gonna -- dot com. It's over there's the dot com or -- godaddy thank you responses observed. --"

" I don't get out there. I'm very well you're sitting in the I've seen kicking around in inserted it in economics. Cleaning country. -- putting Kansas for awhile and I'm -- to see you do that's deputies in things like that. What's likely going to go on from sort of the stuff that built a lot of people read that they'd love -- have sort of bigger stuff."

" Past its its pretty awesome is that. I mean I can't complain I mean I mean it's just it's just -- one -- the other is what I love to do so you know I mean if more people can -- great. But really it's just. You know it's just sit down -- yeah."

" In the stuff that I've seen you do. Earlier on in his stuff is really recruit in the real world putting Kansas and in there and -- country that was a lot of supernatural stuff without issuing a mighty you're doing. Through the green lantern where it's fantastic and stuff like that. To feel like it's -- to go I'll do I'll let other big stuff -- what more comfortable."

" Well I mean it's a change of pace but I really really just trying to get the mood across so I mean I grew up watching your account so gettin' to stretch those. It's you know use those muscles to draw like giant step in space and things exploding. You know it's yeah it's a different mind that. By it I mean going into is just the same as I would whether it's. You know people in Iraq or people up in space and I mean you're just trying to get the mood of the characters. So I mean once you get that are crossing mean. It's just that the still same thing I know it's it's still comics."

" Yeah what what's. -- at the most stuff but that you doing more guest Susan as you dressed up like what do summits that you really like to work on -- what are the types of stories you like to do draw."

" Well I mean it if the little dark I get a kick out of having my salad it's insolent towards. We're darker stuff a little a look great your little more fattening stuff and yes. Well I grew up on them. And then I guess one of the other things is even working in black and white primarily for a long time and -- that he collared. Is that she is that how you do things that made it any harder on the it's harder but -- definitely do you have a comment from a different mindset like with with we can drag in the edges. Open bore with -- Kansas a lot of it where I didn't even draw went after the face because I would let the readers mind figure out where it is. By that's a whole lot of excellent excellent color is to try and you think you actually have to define where something starts stops otherwise you could end up and down here yeah it's. It's. A lot of my my DC work I do outlines first and then do blacks. But for my indie stuff that was going to be black point. That's really using artistic field stuff I don't know as well. One of the things that's really cool and it's you do hey you do -- sketch. On your blog every single day which is. Which is all of these different things. I'm like -- how much fun as -- try to just come up with DTD that has them like -- morning exercise have been -- most of it is actually from cons like -- for the past month or so it has all been you know something heroes. So -- almost all except this you know half an hour 45 minutes of whatever I was drawn for that person. But a lot of times that you all do like at a theme for the week and LT five different agreement or characters or whatever and it's something. You know trends which skiers you know a lot of times you're spending twenty hours or so. Working on one or two pages. You become -- down and that's the only thing you can think about it you can switch gears a little bit you can come back at that age with a little more energy because you've done something totally different. Was there any of me did I mean I guess if you know fans a couple -- like you draw me. Whoever the -- and Matthew drew the thought I'd be really fun to do more of that you didn't know before. I'm a student and seven these iron fist that the there was a lot of fun -- there's some weird stuff in there to like it did -- director versus broke out. Which is the strangest kind guys ever -- but after it goes without it. Brooklyn cops -- totally like dinosaurs. Get a check now of those rights if that's beyond that well maybe like a little -- to rock crossover and bigger."

" so. Gordon now I can't help notice that every time I standstill for more than thirty seconds they try to put a camera. Or microphone into my hand -- what you do lot of work is that should I get used to that. You use in managing your game yeah you're doing it I -- I mean I'm not gonna do now that's turn around a walk away when we get paid. His moment when I'm sorry. It's not working here I've been an incredible trip I -- I had an -- and don't answer. So wait though but the articles. Is that why we haven't seen unilateral. You know again things to do as do I -- among the gimme some ghostbusters should get -- and what not."

" I realize our ideas are I'm doing. Exceptionally well excellent that you are the crater of of a classic any serious -- being world with which up until recently just every -- by dark horse. What do you tell folks who might out of her being oral what is it about what's assortment all the it's easier to read than it is to explain which. Seems to be. Sort of the truth. It's the most peculiar comic -- experience. And it's an ecologically based."

" Fairy tale about two tribes of beatings of that. Are completely independent upon each other. For their survival even though their adversaries. And that doesn't even begin to explain it it's just weird and as I've heard from a lot of people who have read it to a good I've -- and it is weird but it's suddenly engaging about it that you it. Hopefully what I've done is your your. You're drawn into the world and even though it's deceptively simple. You."

" Just following the story -- into the art in and the world resonates. So on the all the class dark president repackaging releasing the the old stories there."

" The world number one cannot 1985. And it ran for 21 issues. I stopped doing it fifteen years ago. And went off into the business side and between these -- books being world one in the world to. They are completely remastered. Shot from the original artwork. You know scanned digitally so the artwork for these new books is. But there's much better reproduction there was in the original books because it was in the mid eighties. It was shot on film. I was always laid I was getting the film shot you know on The Third Shift in the middle of the night the -- of this is that the dark horse productions. Just. Did a beautiful. Beautiful product and I couldn't be happier and then so that's all but that's all the old material but we're not really. Presenting it as archival. Or anything to reboot. We were being re presented. Two new generation and this preview it is a war. Being -- three which is 212 pages of story it's an original graphic novel. In it wraps up the first story arc of being world which is called spring time. He wrote this three story here springtime. Summer ball. Such. You bomb it there's a big gap between Oregon beat -- and added joys and tend to come back to the worker I didn't really know whether whether as a come back to working -- is what I did during those fifteen years. Was. I was executive director image comics there -- six years and I was the president McFarland was for eat and I. I've played with being world -- a little bit but I really did take a lot of time often -- decided to come back to it I came back from both wars. In it was like never stopped. You think maybe years in between give you different respect their overdid it -- story as you levees -- on a majority. -- I think -- much richer person. I think that's my understanding. What it was and I wanted to accomplish. Really mellowed -- in. In -- working digitally now which -- which are far more comfortable with. That -- into an inning because the supplies were becoming increasingly. Room. And I found that very frustrating."

" So being a industry veteran in the engine -- yourself how how is it great to see it evolved from -- trying to house agreed to see it evolve from 998 do indeed a 1985 to do mineral 2009."

" It's blows my mind because. This is the same work that I did in the 1980s. When people were like what is this I don't get it off and then ended up. On the New York Times best seller list for graphic books and yet. The work hasn't changed the culture has changed the comic book reading community has changed. Board may be because -- got a generation of people who were brought up on Pixar and anime. And it. Comic books that are a bit more unusual. Then when I was working 95 who was really like the big -- with the X-Men that's all there really was. And even the alternative comics of the time. Like service that they were -- joining the very realistic style. I have it Harriman asked. You know crazy -- kind of line. And everybody knows who he is known because of all the record books. Nobody knew he was back then so. I just think I stood still you know he just doing my thing in the world has caught up with me."

" Have you seen twilight. I haven't -- of hearing about it everywhere at the con what is it I think it's a movie. The movie can I watch -- get on dvd I think it is available on dvd where can I get it Netflix that. Netflix.com is replaced or dvds on line all that really gonna do is go sign up. They should restrict your house you don't pay shipping a postal. They don't charge you late fees just Jordan -- Blu-ray if they do have Blu-ray over 90000 titles including Blu-ray discs. And they can stream movie straight your computer accessory sixty they have pricing plans are a Florida the united up. And get a www. netflix.com cars as a family to sign up again a free two week trial."

" I'm -- it. Twilight -- cute as a repeatedly. -- think everybody mailbag they've held active -- Edward he's dreamy. I don't know who is -- to -- vampires out. I hear about doubles that debacle -- has done and very well -- at this point you're survive and it just about. But we have mr. backyard an and you you that aren't here so it's just right now idea -- just go home after this. Yes but because of it like coming violated right now that that the -- in limousines going by my house select preferences this. So all you guys had to reload it and used as little announcement it is panel wants it but it. We didn't date we've got a new series startup school which showed them it's pretty bunkers book. But you don't believe it. It's in a nutshell -- hard -- that's that's you want smile on the backdrop of -- so honestly that we un convention on the Senate -- so it. -- missed the -- have been involved. It's pretty good that I kind of thing you can rats edition of crutch focused. Outward. And the night yeah. But I've been saying either this man was having so that at -- it and sent out which says if you ruts like that but at eight. That's filled it up onto the face light hearted so caught -- it. Met -- massive at comic con. Just give that he was a point. Unbelievably analysts like critical sponsor -- cost benefit sleep on the day of the relative -- together a sentence of stuff. Looking for many commented that some volume on this responders and Davis these prices graciously offered to -- and it -- it does have begun to expand my horizons little -- and regret and went and got -- management you know the Memphis stop and yes. We are now launching -- this -- Yelena. Papal image being might -- controlled tournaments and obviously would have we won't say it. You know a couple of interesting yet not yet not yet back."

" Would soon change but I -- that's -- I'm really excited about it. The book set in a little bit more about it send Islamic militants Johnny Jackson commitment showed up for reasons -- now but he sort of Ahmanson. He used to be one of shocked and cities mornings at -- Texas is going places he was doing right. Unsettle the police force -- him on the treatment ambulance -- right that the united Essex with -- plus problem in its own me. Suppose the Senate seats annoyed thought percent of the population in those of those dollars gets mosques are stronger fast via the -- half points and physical. And then some deficiencies. To become a much stupid people time to be real stupid enough to sideshow to Jackson's kicks off the course and -- at present to take tonight since they. Things are going to have a way. You really -- his life is very visible. Themselves a Dolly people beyond bosnians people real hot so criminal these backup laws and he's a very unpleasant mother Lanka sought. The police -- finding the contacts in its announcement on ma'am so victim of adults might them if you put this going back he's below regulations on so. It back on the polls for life. But this attached as Vivian pleasant accounts of the comments that have a soul -- It's that critical we'd like to."

" And expose also is so this is the first Levy doesn't work together if so so it sounds like it users are idea and you kind of -- the -- how was the collaboration of working together. Yeah it's. Would be wonderful woman I send some kinds of lawyers -- then I said yes I wanna do it then it. From the sound of the Senate he's got a chance of failing that answer elements of when which animal colts by doing it is this specific book combines all the stuff over reach down into one. -- So as -- them visually approach beautiful and Arnold. And it. -- busily approaching it I mean your style has you know done very very wild sometimes that'll sometimes a little more clean -- what what your personal stuff -- it's not -- the tone of the book I might actually -- backgrounds. You're kidding me. Now it's going to be a very very early on I am glanced up at a very very like -- sign him like that I was elected he would fail. Almond really make this city is sitting in an -- character in itself and I really just what I mean it. -- And a lot of actual real plot developments as stimulants -- well but a lot of action -- Lots of everything loss of everything so is beneath -- I had in my Hollywood pitches that are ups are as well as good lot of -- a lot of action and that is -- his finances so is this difference -- governments. It kind of sorts but thought it was -- It's not exactly grandmother of requirements there was no Cole -- involves a respect thing. Should call us up. So is today's -- contains -- Ayers a Mormon on going there to begin with it's a self sufficient self -- six issue miniseries. With you it's a potential more civil would -- of possibly do is like an ongoing series of means there is because it spends its subway. Yeah exactly which would -- you know keep things -- to do was that the remains on but as it stands for self contained sixty should ministers. Hopefully it should -- you'll mother (%expletive) world. That's the -- gonna. It's gonna started early next year right as -- versus its links there coming but when looking so hopefully -- one out body was initialed by its conventions and -- might be one -- com. In February. Possibly I'm gonna have the whole thing done pretty much a must of course was that saw. The whole thing so. Yet it's not gonna be like. It's this nomination is definitely planning ahead. We gonna make sure no stigma around that -- ought to then that's not gonna make sure we gonna people previously mentioned you know about a wonderful. It's like they're on the show. Excellence. But also be a preview of the united homeless and up. Believe -- sequel that was also recently announced boy -- Since nineteen the most ridiculous plan for a lot of time and -- Hewlett new game and despite what you've really been. Thank Gibbons a bunch of really unbelievable industry professionals contributions were to school which benefits that come ability defenseman. -- A six page -- consensual absolutely but institutions that have pizzas. Backdrop -- a sense he lies down that's I don't know what so puzzled about nice little story in itself so much that things. So this -- don't Obama leads to Lisa's job illustrates -- as that the user. Sometimes I try and sometimes count so what drugs among. -- I've got people most fight. It's gonna be accessed. Enthusiasm I love it has been the it's all and I did you believe this is inside -- just light civilized one get a little -- assumes that he police officer at."

" So Gordon. I -- hey hey I need to -- affair with that he talked to James he he's not really working out he's not really cooperating he was an impression is gonna get paid. Right if we can downplay that. And decided distract and get more on the work that that would be I if you can do that for me I think would've be great."

" Thank you the best I always count on him."

" I'm era threaded red record or if I'm doing well at Sunday EM punch and punch drunk. You're suddenly like in the middle of everything I've always been in the middle of everything you just never noticed your writers who rent an apartment noticed the odds of a man. -- now. -- Batman it's yeah we're -- we went to -- Ireland beat him last time that many people who standing room only who has it was a crazy crazy panel but it's funny you know I'm ready and action comics openness about it. I've written detective comics MS -- this site. I'm trying not to read into that too much but will her room when both those -- people were like. Yeah I haven't had that -- now of their books actually came out and became type -- comics live like --"

" Oh my idea well in new issue is this Wednesday at age 55 so it's it's creation. Dave Stewart and -- on myself it's a second Asia and it is if anything better than the first. People and you guys ain't seen nothing I mean really it's. I really believe that JH is doing something new with how. You know we comics are visual language and I think he sees adding -- dialect if nothing else so."

" Manager does -- pages that detective where you you you'd even I mean you're into that picture that way and just when he is CM Newton -- What -- scripting because we of these very long conversations I'll say okay this is the action in the issue these -- the scenes. And I Al give him like the list of scenes that'll tell them this is what thanking him and all sort of give a quick thumbnail -- thing we do this over a double page like this and he will immune go okay wait so. But I I've got a visual what we can do we'll start describing what he's gonna do with the page. And JH trying to describe what he's going to do with the page is like somebody saying -- looks like this. And actually much you know I think there's a level of gene is that is similar so Ike -- ago okay concede in my head. And then six weeks later I'll get a dvd as he does. Leo he scanned these pages and that he does all of all this digital work. So again like 300 megabyte file that'll open on my laptop and and at like you know it just fills the screen of 4% that that detail level. And I'll be stereotype. Holy month I mean there's 850. Eight. There's there's a page at 858 there's this first four issues are one story it's elegy. And it goes right into the origin story which is three parts called go right and I'm like the third page. Go. 858. He did something with the way it's just the background with the panels are over bottom etiquette of the black Floyd Dave Stewart hasn't come vignettes and depleted due to. Except. Sometimes JH dollars in collar that's -- well that looks great -- Alex Greg could you. Or -- it happens with alarming regularity. So Mars it's it's it's real and credible I area right. It is. It is without a doubt the best. Just as a packaged. About their store comes in India are confronted everybody everybody involved even editor you know -- assistant editor on the books are -- Richard. And it is if it is I think without a doubt the the best packaged. Product I've ever had the privilege to work on. And there was not the car and then the middle jocks and commitment from yet jocks get I'm coming for three issues and then this is our -- that we keep talking about no heat heat heat -- agreed I'm sure that -- grueling years that I announced that he's gonna get -- that why you're. But he agreed he's gonna -- three issues after ago. And then Cali you know and out Dave -- colors on them on the question to feature. They'll have an issue we're gonna -- the question up to twenty page story in the front and do about woman ten paper. And then after that. JH and it. And then the story the jocks gonna do is actually gonna seed into the story -- fault so at all in office."

" Nice to actually finally have issues coming out the role reversal. God yes that means is this two years of going to this -- don't care -- Barack and even you know JH was in here this year -- western -- pages. And I think to be DC it was like trying to hide those that we have been announced yet. You know so people would rush over there or I would steer them they go like Jerry nadu availability defined JH and asked to see. The ages and not failures -- billionaire. If you stumbled over a stable that way you know you might you might wanna see some pages so now. There's issues big bucks for a while ago and then now we'll read reborn stored on -- well."

" Yes I mean we knew we were gonna do it and and he -- we're gonna do -- the idea was that Dan has been very. Very protective of the project -- make sure that. When we brought it out it was going to be ready it was gonna do the right time and -- finished up alrighty and they -- the battle for the count all. And he came to us he said we have the perfect place to put it. Always at work weeks we thought we're giving there was going to be about woman talkies and detective the world like."

" You mean the original -- entitled detective -- is and what DC comics is named after yet you mean the flagship title. Yes."

" Okay. You know -- yet you don't seem out of that so."

" Until now -- is but a group of consumer group and yet. You you guards have very close the much closer collaboration there because you're all right Allen and James James Robinson honored to welcome to Krypton together as well and then. Sterling. And I are doing -- four issues. Over September October that the actions of rural issues we are each co writing together because that's another its four part story so. So really which ones dragging -- feet. There's allred and a group met titles and the F at our editor now. Never brought on to compare -- I mean in all sincerity nobody's if it's a great group nobody saw -- now. I mean everybody's there. I mean frankly in Austin it's probably me. No I'm serious disease yet I you know all week of memorial six emails and in Robinson. With ideas you know right. Oh come on man and a copy you and sterling calls is that well one of ladies this is that that sounds great I'm just. Trying to finish this script you know authors are restricted to is that yes exactly just like you know. I've missed the feeling. Impending doom and deadline I think -- another. You know meet house or -- position so what is what is what is it that you think you guys found that. People of that consumer and those little harder or people so that's sort of -- them before but. But people say well Kelly Gibson remember now with unions what does that figures found in the character of the world that people really well I think I think. I think -- couple -- I think. Is that the complication in the world and there's definitely a sense in the super -- something is coming and you can feel there's there's a ship. And I think would be in the introduction of new -- of the world where there -- 100000 people who have exactly the same viruses as Superman. Forces the questionable wise he's Superman because if there and other 99999. Of them. Is he just another one I just power that's exactly dead and I think that that is the secret to Superman I think that people it's really easy to Dupuis who can't always area. Big -- is and so on and it's not the Paris that they can -- And and the best way. Perhaps to demonstrate that is to put him in the situation with the powers still there she get sort of the spectacular. You know we we are lifting great huge objects and flinging them and shooting he raised from -- But everybody else is doing it -- of that. It becomes so much about who this man is and why he is the way -- and I think that's very compelling. So -- your James created this world -- total that you're aware of where that word that. All the elements and killed -- well I mean we've been mining you know we've reminding the old stuff and then sort of looking and Igawa how to we update this and we use it so. One of the things that the guilds are as an attempt to sort of reconcile. Different versions of Krypton and different styles and and to make it into. A viable society. And we've actually been really careful about we don't throw things in Willy Nilly if it's if we go though the that are these skills. What is the impact -- and Pete woods you know as the artist. He's got you know these he has the secret website where he posts all his designs and literally you know say we were giving me this and six hours -- you -- and I'll say I have these things up on the -- and he's done. But the whole prison complex in Google sketch up so you're able to move gratitude meeting like this is insane war. We need we need a standard infantry assault weapons. You know they're gonna have an infantry side arms is -- well here read and things like in this is the loading chamber and this is now worth two mile. Okay did that say that's above and beyond so it's nice that all the disguises you everybody using gates and I think that's the other reason it works. But you know audiences are really smart and they open a -- And they known people have fun today. And by the same token they know -- Iran the creative and is enthusiastic and energized by it. And I think that's -- that's really coming across most of them books is they can see the energy. We go in August with. The code name patriot crossover. And that opens up -- whole -- Series of complications to follow us it's as we get closer closes sort of our next checkpoint you know as we're republics ahead of everybody else. Obviously but at. We get more more excited as -- and then this is coming -- that's going to be great to -- this is gonna be so cool I think we can we can tell from the panel talking everybody Edwards really excitable Jeff -- is all really excited right yeah we're we're a bunch of stansted -- boys and it comes through marketing people respond well hopefully it's liberal legible a today exactly it took another thing that's forever -- as we're getting closer -- them them. Yeah stunt. -- in Iraq's government is self worth. Is set to be finishing up to -- three right now so by the time the first that you comes out. We should have the whole story the first -- done. And that's the reason for the delay in I got and his horrible situation with queen and country windows like here's an issue. Any years later here's another issue and if there that wanna stick a knife and I mean is it kills momentum. And frankly I think it's kind of insulting to do that the damn -- I'm especially people who are supporting war. So one of the things that we wanted to make sure we did with -- town was that you would not have to wait for story that we're doing for issue arts. Ideally if everything fires correctly -- get -- solicit one ready and we know in this video and time you get before. And then you're gonna get four months off at least until we have the next four issues --"

" And you know it's it's also produce about map here and iron. You know there again that's another nerd -- for us it's the Rockford Files except in 2009. You know. The you know we we finally have the shirts and that would sit -- the logo on the -- of which which which 11 negative at all taking an ass kicking so you don't have to. And and then with the the the voicemail number one lives which is the other fund related recall about that's pretty fun today there and and you can see the Oakmont there aren't that -- yeah. Well I and never know. If I think that the shooter -- Anything viral is. You can't control it just out of its -- and so I think for for us. You know we mostly did it for ourselves in. It's aren't they have finally because you mention that because of river but because we ask -- every time. Is there anything with -- country new novel's called last run and if all goes well beyond this time next year and that is it's equating country -- and spin in theory what we'll do is to bridge the original -- country series with. Series to move data I've been talking only about. And series to have to divert status quotes a must many of the same characters but. Things have changed a bit of the -- world etc. well yeah I mean well I don't think it's. I suppose it's a spoiler but but he. In in series two chases the -- And part of the -- in countries the united tied so closely to our world. That people had to get older. So that's been part of the reason for the break him part of what last residence there is getting older and chase has been in the field for way to I mean you know reality you're lucky if an agent has a three year operational shelf life before they're blown worldwide. And yeah chase has been in the field now for 89 years that's -- so. Well look forward to make you very atmospheric and get some -- always I stuck and you guys via."

" I'm here. Everything I think you can you can thank you just -- that I'm pretty sure. 32. But the."

" It's never not if it wasn't me."

" It is time."

" Welcome to garden shed to get -- They have it about these trees -- Don't want to disturb the leads like an ice cooler -- is you -- this. And -- the camera -- I've -- was brought to you by godaddy.com and netflix.com."

" you're gonna professionals and why start now if you."

" I'm here that a warrant greater empowered -- on OK but they saw and how -- one of -- discoveries I've made recently and I've eaten up all five volumes I love it. The origin of -- he's come from a similar scenario here in constant sketches -- also the -- evidence."

" Yeah house he -- years ago during a period of under employment of sticky on a lot of commissions. And it's fair number the word we're they damsel -- pitcher Jose. And after afterward with a long and athletic -- kind of like a border just doing ten outs so I thought I'd do a due -- continuing story and developed here -- habits and out of nowhere developed complexity and going to be Gabriel comic vigilant. So we're taking that -- kind of pick up and then turning into a character in a supporting cast Eric is now it's a sprawling so pop persevere so opera. How how on how is that evolution been from that one idea to a big grand story. -- it's it's -- it's been fun I -- I to kind of alarmed that. This they're random thing became a sort of magnum opus but it it kind of has it's actually a -- it'll do a lot of the a lot of lot of stuff that comes to realize that. That that it had to options -- of the material so it's actually been lost on them. And there's a lot of mom you know kind of you know sexiness and want -- on this did you people sometimes some kind of dismiss it because they just see the girl looked up -- Jim Moore. Is that is that a stumbling block. It can be can be for some people but but overall as -- and -- too bad of an issue. I mean -- here Dick humorless easily -- to break the view the book and definitely. Can keep it could throw some people but overall assessment too bad and and you're not only an artist Leo so Ryder incidents of our and it's an opportunity to kind of combine the two is that the kind of project the apart to the most are you doing the writing and art and art for. I actually actually prefer straight writing this cover drawing it's kind of -- base that it's it's very time consuming and part of an inside I'd rather be. Address I'd rather be running full time but this is that this what this in the -- keep working so. Columbine five empowered do you have a set and the story or you're just gonna do as many easy -- I do have a sad ending but much how long it's gonna take you to get there so. In theory the economics market mine and my core ailing and them altogether this you know I was I did die like. 200 pages in four months the last one. Do it -- scheduling screw up and Mike Andrews messed up big time but it. I handed the economics hold up that probably would go like fifty Tony volumes. While us us us like a -- yeah basement I don't. So and you -- in the arts file with it is you know kind of Hensley non colored it do you think someday they'll be a color version are you to keep it that kind of rough and it's Hensley. For the south -- for the so I do myself it'll remain black like it's easier I don't have to worry about it or about other people or. Or getting other people paid adequately but but I'm thinking of we're thinking of possibly expect off stuff -- other artists writing. And powered stores possibly and that we're probably being color is good because come it would probably help -- that but at. With the with pencil material the coloring -- this is a bit of an issue. And that its its its simplest and fastest New York street traded pencil on of the regular power stuff so. So all in power characters which -- your favorite great. It is strictly to the dialogues to teach people it's my favorite is -- plus nobody said that -- yet incredibly elaborate kind of just. I'm I have -- bombing the crap out of my thesaurus and it -- all. This credit -- from having that we could possibly figure out as dialogue. -- he's my favorite to not write dialogue at least."

" I'm nearly Jason Aaron and harder today I'm doing great I bet you've got a whole lot of stuff going on -- the list of the things you have -- working. -- still going strong."

" Now you're entering."

" It was last issue is in his twenties. Of scalps yeah thirty. Thirty that's right there wouldn't you think that we might I know and you can see where a mat with a convention out but it's still going strong and use double long term plan that it would you know how long it's gonna be at this point."

" I've avoided saying like a specific issue number but it but there are active there's just started thirtieth the first part of this bring you our public knowing. That's really kind of way everything's been building to you for these first thirty seasons. So overall this is kind of the crux of the story that midpoint of the story. So I could mean a couple more years do little more a little less aware and we'll see and act two now. Yeah okay but this really sets the stage for everything -- to comic kind of changes scenes and a very dramatic way. And you know it I know I know where everything's going I just don't know exactly how long it's gonna take us to get it now. You've been right."

" This for a while this is your city your first. Real ongoing book has been around for a long time how's it different writing it now than you know before -- registering little bits of things that that this when he had to. Sheppard along such a long time you find it easier or is it too much to contain."

" Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's hard on its you know and and I had everything planned out kind of from the beginning exactly what needed to happen. I can get to the end of that outline at this point so I'm working on the next when home. So it's you know it's it's it's great to be able to move between the work Pryor's stuff and in his scalp to. Each has its own challenges and what I would wanna do nothing but neither one is could -- be able to go between with the."

" Team now having an -- going through it though and you had an -- have you found that it took a diversion that you didn't expect it to you in scalpers pretty much going according to plan. Together LA there's like -- little diversions here and there like some of the standalone issues that we've done our things and planned on. But I just wanted to spend a little more time this character. -- but in terms of the big. Big plot it everything's pretty much stayed exactly as I Clinton. That's watching over the mark or use your big announcement is that you're you'll be viewing pleasure Macs with Steve Dillon. Steve Dillon. Critical Iraq you know it's -- right. And and you're feeling your basically your you're running the -- and issues that's that's pretty great they'll they'll put it like that well I mean like that's that's already think of the comment you're gonna expect that that makes me nervous Iowa don't wanna make you nervous I want to do your best work. Some what. -- taking you take on the punished here. That that you feel like you're making your own and it is something that you would expect yeah eleven that's the big challenge evidence of a huge fan of -- huge fan of everything he did on that book."

" Bad debt to -- it's not just of this punish him but it's ever been but that's what the best books marvels published the last few years. -- but that's. So so I was excited for the chances to -- moment the same time it's very intimidating to be following that let alone working with Steve news. It you know I had huge creature fans love it. Because those so that's the twisted that the thing I can I'm bringing to it that's a little different as -- again. Max versions of the hiking in Apple's. And -- longer -- story as opposed to the stuff started on it which was pretty standalone arts. So -- to be one big story. The first -- it's really the rise of the kingpin. And with the team that are around you know -- won't be too far behind. So really see frank kind of facing -- it's bigger than anything he's ever face in the -- Ceres. Is gonna knocking down to the lowest point we've ever receding. Does the odds are gonna be stacked against -- like never before it really. These enemies are going to be able to get into his hand -- of the now it's still something about his origin that we've never seen before. Now do you find it I guess."

" Greeting or or or to not have to deal with the marvel continuity as a or or or is you know is like a good thing to have around. But it's it's good to be able to -- concedes yeah tended to do what I wanted to. What would weapon X and going to be able to do that and you know it would punish them able to just pull things do whatever I want so -- I -- it's it's. I like do with a big crossover stuff like it did the secret invasion storyline and it can -- and a dark green when shots of that stuff -- fun but. I did it today it probably prefer to -- left in my own little corner into Cirque -- long -- story and let it let it go yet yet it you know it's funny because you've done. We start off and out of -- on -- in vertigo and then you come over and you. You really -- to big fan favorites of -- the wolverines -- and the punishing they're like. We're -- where you wanna go from here like what other kinds carriages used in working on it marvel wherever."

" Plus I'm really anxious to write the team that is my favorite really marvel character period and I got to ready for one panel and and Wolverine 173 years have before. Which was a huge stereos like one and one -- the things poker game that he has. Some really anxious to bring him and to Paige is a weapon so wanna do the wolverines dating another target Lebanon's. -- are there a lot of characters here there had left to right senate seat is secured there had been wanting to write since they came to marvel and I get around announced that -- get to use him in goes straighter which is huge so. But yeah that's the two books that focus -- on right now Wolverine and minister of books I plan on being on for the next couple years. Beyond that I know we'll see. I don't wanna be just the guys who who writes characters they'd kill and break its -- and -- people the do you have a fantastic four like -- opinion itself I -- have a fantastic four. So let's make got out of its we'll say it was impeccable."

" Back in New York earlier this year our staff writer Paul Montgomery joined us for the shoot and he was really was really excited to do some interviews god bless and he went out he was full heart he's a little courage he -- he went to talk to Mike Norton. You know I shot. Not. A professional career is over. Anyway so skin forwards in just -- right. And then and later shown to these services go -- while Mike Romo another step prior joined us and we're gonna want it burned again we were a little hesitant I'll be honest but -- I was impressed that he took the initiative on himself. I wish she wouldn't have misrepresented us about Robinson now."

" Yeah yeah you'll -- this yeah its. Program. I'm sorry I'm sorry you --"

" Anyway I like the -- the line."

" He hasn't spoke to me since then yeah that's not a problem not there yet but at San Diego this year were excited because our staff writer and -- Steve's here. -- just -- eight on oh hi Dana and Jimmy flew over Saint Louis good join the team. I am not a construct of -- I'm an I'm an entirely new personable person I guess saw we're gonna -- to the might give you Cameron having autism interviews. That's all right. Frankly I mean I'm only here I mean this only happens once here what am I gonna walk around with a microphone and camera the whole time what it wasted. --"

" Let us know everything you're doing this all wrong."

" I'm pretty area do wonderful so was a big show for you this year we get the collected assists and edition. A beautiful -- soft every habitat that all came out and that's really great really really happy an excellent so I as a -- I trilogy has been one of the books of the past year than ever so many people talk about all the way up to like folks have marvels of might that. How is that -- been received from you like how is it into a kind of have like and it did indeed look on an."

" Perhaps it's it's been really nice you know it's always did -- Do reconnaissance. Solitary thing when you start to get feedback on something you've done so it's obvious he really gratifying it. And you know it's even better in the feedback is positive -- precipitous but it yeah."

" So I'm saving new book the share of vertigo and nobody on nobody was basically take on the invisible man to listen so what what was your kind of taken -- why -- concept."

" Well I mean people have read -- guys that know -- tennis. Conservatives are exploring rural communities and small town life and stuff tonight I thought that the idea that the success of each of wells novel of I think have been just strangers showing up at a small town is sort of turning it upside down would be. It's an interesting starting point for me to continue during an -- and it's been good maybe do it with just -- even have a Paul Pierce you know about the darker feel that's fine with that sun and I've always loved drying the you know the end of sorter that goes into the cool manage these characters. About a response."

" Whatever I thought that what was interesting about it was that it was traveling into a man that had a small town -- and had that kind of relationships that Essex County also had as well and it's almost like."

" If you see like an invisible man movers I think it's sort of like what would happen after the movie's over just like you know been sitting around -- that is the benefits. Again -- cool Odyssey another bucket Mario coming out of -- he tells about that on there yet think post apocalyptic road movie. Steadily got weird mix of horror high adventure. And then sort of a quieter moments at their work is for. It's it's that and I keep striving as Bambi -- mad max but a little boy with deer antlers and a big county that are traveling across the country. It decided to love about the idea and harassing that's and I have. It just our Mac team is doing. Somehow sympathetic -- because that's embargoes well. Yeah it's very it's an ongoing monthly books so. How so doing an ongoing monthly how does that change from do you -- you -- graphic novels previously it you know there's a bit of alert anchored I think within nobody where I was. It was first I haven't sent each count if forests are trying something it's I didn't really have relatives. And I do is have a top south of -- went back on that any easier I think it's -- did. I think there's a bit of a learning they're doing that nobody but then I feel like I've kind of gotten over that now with -- and I think I'm using that's when he teammates. About the structure really well -- likely to get that anger at the issue I'm actually doing and it's -- and icicles. This will -- story at time and dads kids go. So I saw as a writer artist what is your kind of process he stripped out all things -- do you do -- first of an anti approaching guy -- the script -- dialogue and yeah I dutiful script in damages to -- the pencils and guidance religiously and I hate crimes they didn't even if."

" And so on site senior couple shows over the past year in and -- doesn't like it -- Chicago windy city a depressing had a bunch of us kind of pieces that you're selling and there -- some super here's something there there's some cold as a Miss America our memories of last. Pat how -- people react clinic on the table only see here is they know the drawing your style which is a little."

" The people really think is likely to be it Eddie thank you can interpret those classic characters like if you -- interesting way people really react to it. Adding that loves it rare comics and I know I'm a huge fan boys I would do that stuff so it's great to -- Sunday night -- and the superior Gallagher. Well maybe maybe there's always something happening that it."

" Excellent well we'll little cover that then the cool thing very idea. -- some ideas for its new website sir I did I -- It's been on my back -- and held off. -- So you need to register those domain names are set up -- web sites you go to our good friends godaddy. We want to thank responses episode. They've got tons of it offers -- together revision3.com foreclosed godaddy. Because I can't wait to see all that have a coupon codes you get up percent of doctor ordered dollars and -- there -- bundles -- through your dream. Like he's gonna -- dot com. It's over there's the dot com or -- godaddy thank you responses observed. --"

" I don't get out there. I'm very well you're sitting in the I've seen kicking around in inserted it in economics. Cleaning country. -- putting Kansas for awhile and I'm -- to see you do that's deputies in things like that. What's likely going to go on from sort of the stuff that built a lot of people read that they'd love -- have sort of bigger stuff."

" Past its its pretty awesome is that. I mean I can't complain I mean I mean it's just it's just -- one -- the other is what I love to do so you know I mean if more people can -- great. But really it's just. You know it's just sit down -- yeah."

" In the stuff that I've seen you do. Earlier on in his stuff is really recruit in the real world putting Kansas and in there and -- country that was a lot of supernatural stuff without issuing a mighty you're doing. Through the green lantern where it's fantastic and stuff like that. To feel like it's -- to go I'll do I'll let other big stuff -- what more comfortable."

" Well I mean it's a change of pace but I really really just trying to get the mood across so I mean I grew up watching your account so gettin' to stretch those. It's you know use those muscles to draw like giant step in space and things exploding. You know it's yeah it's a different mind that. By it I mean going into is just the same as I would whether it's. You know people in Iraq or people up in space and I mean you're just trying to get the mood of the characters. So I mean once you get that are crossing mean. It's just that the still same thing I know it's it's still comics."

" Yeah what what's. -- at the most stuff but that you doing more guest Susan as you dressed up like what do summits that you really like to work on -- what are the types of stories you like to do draw."

" Well I mean it if the little dark I get a kick out of having my salad it's insolent towards. We're darker stuff a little a look great your little more fattening stuff and yes. Well I grew up on them. And then I guess one of the other things is even working in black and white primarily for a long time and -- that he collared. Is that she is that how you do things that made it any harder on the it's harder but -- definitely do you have a comment from a different mindset like with with we can drag in the edges. Open bore with -- Kansas a lot of it where I didn't even draw went after the face because I would let the readers mind figure out where it is. By that's a whole lot of excellent excellent color is to try and you think you actually have to define where something starts stops otherwise you could end up and down here yeah it's. It's. A lot of my my DC work I do outlines first and then do blacks. But for my indie stuff that was going to be black point. That's really using artistic field stuff I don't know as well. One of the things that's really cool and it's you do hey you do -- sketch. On your blog every single day which is. Which is all of these different things. I'm like -- how much fun as -- try to just come up with DTD that has them like -- morning exercise have been -- most of it is actually from cons like -- for the past month or so it has all been you know something heroes. So -- almost all except this you know half an hour 45 minutes of whatever I was drawn for that person. But a lot of times that you all do like at a theme for the week and LT five different agreement or characters or whatever and it's something. You know trends which skiers you know a lot of times you're spending twenty hours or so. Working on one or two pages. You become -- down and that's the only thing you can think about it you can switch gears a little bit you can come back at that age with a little more energy because you've done something totally different. Was there any of me did I mean I guess if you know fans a couple -- like you draw me. Whoever the -- and Matthew drew the thought I'd be really fun to do more of that you didn't know before. I'm a student and seven these iron fist that the there was a lot of fun -- there's some weird stuff in there to like it did -- director versus broke out. Which is the strangest kind guys ever -- but after it goes without it. Brooklyn cops -- totally like dinosaurs. Get a check now of those rights if that's beyond that well maybe like a little -- to rock crossover and bigger."

" so. Gordon now I can't help notice that every time I standstill for more than thirty seconds they try to put a camera. Or microphone into my hand -- what you do lot of work is that should I get used to that. You use in managing your game yeah you're doing it I -- I mean I'm not gonna do now that's turn around a walk away when we get paid. His moment when I'm sorry. It's not working here I've been an incredible trip I -- I had an -- and don't answer. So wait though but the articles. Is that why we haven't seen unilateral. You know again things to do as do I -- among the gimme some ghostbusters should get -- and what not."

" I realize our ideas are I'm doing. Exceptionally well excellent that you are the crater of of a classic any serious -- being world with which up until recently just every -- by dark horse. What do you tell folks who might out of her being oral what is it about what's assortment all the it's easier to read than it is to explain which. Seems to be. Sort of the truth. It's the most peculiar comic -- experience. And it's an ecologically based."

" Fairy tale about two tribes of beatings of that. Are completely independent upon each other. For their survival even though their adversaries. And that doesn't even begin to explain it it's just weird and as I've heard from a lot of people who have read it to a good I've -- and it is weird but it's suddenly engaging about it that you it. Hopefully what I've done is your your. You're drawn into the world and even though it's deceptively simple. You."

" Just following the story -- into the art in and the world resonates. So on the all the class dark president repackaging releasing the the old stories there."

" The world number one cannot 1985. And it ran for 21 issues. I stopped doing it fifteen years ago. And went off into the business side and between these -- books being world one in the world to. They are completely remastered. Shot from the original artwork. You know scanned digitally so the artwork for these new books is. But there's much better reproduction there was in the original books because it was in the mid eighties. It was shot on film. I was always laid I was getting the film shot you know on The Third Shift in the middle of the night the -- of this is that the dark horse productions. Just. Did a beautiful. Beautiful product and I couldn't be happier and then so that's all but that's all the old material but we're not really. Presenting it as archival. Or anything to reboot. We were being re presented. Two new generation and this preview it is a war. Being -- three which is 212 pages of story it's an original graphic novel. In it wraps up the first story arc of being world which is called spring time. He wrote this three story here springtime. Summer ball. Such. You bomb it there's a big gap between Oregon beat -- and added joys and tend to come back to the worker I didn't really know whether whether as a come back to working -- is what I did during those fifteen years. Was. I was executive director image comics there -- six years and I was the president McFarland was for eat and I. I've played with being world -- a little bit but I really did take a lot of time often -- decided to come back to it I came back from both wars. In it was like never stopped. You think maybe years in between give you different respect their overdid it -- story as you levees -- on a majority. -- I think -- much richer person. I think that's my understanding. What it was and I wanted to accomplish. Really mellowed -- in. In -- working digitally now which -- which are far more comfortable with. That -- into an inning because the supplies were becoming increasingly. Room. And I found that very frustrating."

" So being a industry veteran in the engine -- yourself how how is it great to see it evolved from -- trying to house agreed to see it evolve from 998 do indeed a 1985 to do mineral 2009."

" It's blows my mind because. This is the same work that I did in the 1980s. When people were like what is this I don't get it off and then ended up. On the New York Times best seller list for graphic books and yet. The work hasn't changed the culture has changed the comic book reading community has changed. Board may be because -- got a generation of people who were brought up on Pixar and anime. And it. Comic books that are a bit more unusual. Then when I was working 95 who was really like the big -- with the X-Men that's all there really was. And even the alternative comics of the time. Like service that they were -- joining the very realistic style. I have it Harriman asked. You know crazy -- kind of line. And everybody knows who he is known because of all the record books. Nobody knew he was back then so. I just think I stood still you know he just doing my thing in the world has caught up with me."

" Have you seen twilight. I haven't -- of hearing about it everywhere at the con what is it I think it's a movie. The movie can I watch -- get on dvd I think it is available on dvd where can I get it Netflix that. Netflix.com is replaced or dvds on line all that really gonna do is go sign up. They should restrict your house you don't pay shipping a postal. They don't charge you late fees just Jordan -- Blu-ray if they do have Blu-ray over 90000 titles including Blu-ray discs. And they can stream movie straight your computer accessory sixty they have pricing plans are a Florida the united up. And get a www. netflix.com cars as a family to sign up again a free two week trial."

" I'm -- it. Twilight -- cute as a repeatedly. -- think everybody mailbag they've held active -- Edward he's dreamy. I don't know who is -- to -- vampires out. I hear about doubles that debacle -- has done and very well -- at this point you're survive and it just about. But we have mr. backyard an and you you that aren't here so it's just right now idea -- just go home after this. Yes but because of it like coming violated right now that that the -- in limousines going by my house select preferences this. So all you guys had to reload it and used as little announcement it is panel wants it but it. We didn't date we've got a new series startup school which showed them it's pretty bunkers book. But you don't believe it. It's in a nutshell -- hard -- that's that's you want smile on the backdrop of -- so honestly that we un convention on the Senate -- so it. -- missed the -- have been involved. It's pretty good that I kind of thing you can rats edition of crutch focused. Outward. And the night yeah. But I've been saying either this man was having so that at -- it and sent out which says if you ruts like that but at eight. That's filled it up onto the face light hearted so caught -- it. Met -- massive at comic con. Just give that he was a point. Unbelievably analysts like critical sponsor -- cost benefit sleep on the day of the relative -- together a sentence of stuff. Looking for many commented that some volume on this responders and Davis these prices graciously offered to -- and it -- it does have begun to expand my horizons little -- and regret and went and got -- management you know the Memphis stop and yes. We are now launching -- this -- Yelena. Papal image being might -- controlled tournaments and obviously would have we won't say it. You know a couple of interesting yet not yet not yet back."

" Would soon change but I -- that's -- I'm really excited about it. The book set in a little bit more about it send Islamic militants Johnny Jackson commitment showed up for reasons -- now but he sort of Ahmanson. He used to be one of shocked and cities mornings at -- Texas is going places he was doing right. Unsettle the police force -- him on the treatment ambulance -- right that the united Essex with -- plus problem in its own me. Suppose the Senate seats annoyed thought percent of the population in those of those dollars gets mosques are stronger fast via the -- half points and physical. And then some deficiencies. To become a much stupid people time to be real stupid enough to sideshow to Jackson's kicks off the course and -- at present to take tonight since they. Things are going to have a way. You really -- his life is very visible. Themselves a Dolly people beyond bosnians people real hot so criminal these backup laws and he's a very unpleasant mother Lanka sought. The police -- finding the contacts in its announcement on ma'am so victim of adults might them if you put this going back he's below regulations on so. It back on the polls for life. But this attached as Vivian pleasant accounts of the comments that have a soul -- It's that critical we'd like to."

" And expose also is so this is the first Levy doesn't work together if so so it sounds like it users are idea and you kind of -- the -- how was the collaboration of working together. Yeah it's. Would be wonderful woman I send some kinds of lawyers -- then I said yes I wanna do it then it. From the sound of the Senate he's got a chance of failing that answer elements of when which animal colts by doing it is this specific book combines all the stuff over reach down into one. -- So as -- them visually approach beautiful and Arnold. And it. -- busily approaching it I mean your style has you know done very very wild sometimes that'll sometimes a little more clean -- what what your personal stuff -- it's not -- the tone of the book I might actually -- backgrounds. You're kidding me. Now it's going to be a very very early on I am glanced up at a very very like -- sign him like that I was elected he would fail. Almond really make this city is sitting in an -- character in itself and I really just what I mean it. -- And a lot of actual real plot developments as stimulants -- well but a lot of action -- Lots of everything loss of everything so is beneath -- I had in my Hollywood pitches that are ups are as well as good lot of -- a lot of action and that is -- his finances so is this difference -- governments. It kind of sorts but thought it was -- It's not exactly grandmother of requirements there was no Cole -- involves a respect thing. Should call us up. So is today's -- contains -- Ayers a Mormon on going there to begin with it's a self sufficient self -- six issue miniseries. With you it's a potential more civil would -- of possibly do is like an ongoing series of means there is because it spends its subway. Yeah exactly which would -- you know keep things -- to do was that the remains on but as it stands for self contained sixty should ministers. Hopefully it should -- you'll mother (%expletive) world. That's the -- gonna. It's gonna started early next year right as -- versus its links there coming but when looking so hopefully -- one out body was initialed by its conventions and -- might be one -- com. In February. Possibly I'm gonna have the whole thing done pretty much a must of course was that saw. The whole thing so. Yet it's not gonna be like. It's this nomination is definitely planning ahead. We gonna make sure no stigma around that -- ought to then that's not gonna make sure we gonna people previously mentioned you know about a wonderful. It's like they're on the show. Excellence. But also be a preview of the united homeless and up. Believe -- sequel that was also recently announced boy -- Since nineteen the most ridiculous plan for a lot of time and -- Hewlett new game and despite what you've really been. Thank Gibbons a bunch of really unbelievable industry professionals contributions were to school which benefits that come ability defenseman. -- A six page -- consensual absolutely but institutions that have pizzas. Backdrop -- a sense he lies down that's I don't know what so puzzled about nice little story in itself so much that things. So this -- don't Obama leads to Lisa's job illustrates -- as that the user. Sometimes I try and sometimes count so what drugs among. -- I've got people most fight. It's gonna be accessed. Enthusiasm I love it has been the it's all and I did you believe this is inside -- just light civilized one get a little -- assumes that he police officer at."

" So Gordon. I -- hey hey I need to -- affair with that he talked to James he he's not really working out he's not really cooperating he was an impression is gonna get paid. Right if we can downplay that. And decided distract and get more on the work that that would be I if you can do that for me I think would've be great."

" Thank you the best I always count on him."

" I'm era threaded red record or if I'm doing well at Sunday EM punch and punch drunk. You're suddenly like in the middle of everything I've always been in the middle of everything you just never noticed your writers who rent an apartment noticed the odds of a man. -- now. -- Batman it's yeah we're -- we went to -- Ireland beat him last time that many people who standing room only who has it was a crazy crazy panel but it's funny you know I'm ready and action comics openness about it. I've written detective comics MS -- this site. I'm trying not to read into that too much but will her room when both those -- people were like. Yeah I haven't had that -- now of their books actually came out and became type -- comics live like --"

" Oh my idea well in new issue is this Wednesday at age 55 so it's it's creation. Dave Stewart and -- on myself it's a second Asia and it is if anything better than the first. People and you guys ain't seen nothing I mean really it's. I really believe that JH is doing something new with how. You know we comics are visual language and I think he sees adding -- dialect if nothing else so."

" Manager does -- pages that detective where you you you'd even I mean you're into that picture that way and just when he is CM Newton -- What -- scripting because we of these very long conversations I'll say okay this is the action in the issue these -- the scenes. And I Al give him like the list of scenes that'll tell them this is what thanking him and all sort of give a quick thumbnail -- thing we do this over a double page like this and he will immune go okay wait so. But I I've got a visual what we can do we'll start describing what he's gonna do with the page. And JH trying to describe what he's going to do with the page is like somebody saying -- looks like this. And actually much you know I think there's a level of gene is that is similar so Ike -- ago okay concede in my head. And then six weeks later I'll get a dvd as he does. Leo he scanned these pages and that he does all of all this digital work. So again like 300 megabyte file that'll open on my laptop and and at like you know it just fills the screen of 4% that that detail level. And I'll be stereotype. Holy month I mean there's 850. Eight. There's there's a page at 858 there's this first four issues are one story it's elegy. And it goes right into the origin story which is three parts called go right and I'm like the third page. Go. 858. He did something with the way it's just the background with the panels are over bottom etiquette of the black Floyd Dave Stewart hasn't come vignettes and depleted due to. Except. Sometimes JH dollars in collar that's -- well that looks great -- Alex Greg could you. Or -- it happens with alarming regularity. So Mars it's it's it's real and credible I area right. It is. It is without a doubt the best. Just as a packaged. About their store comes in India are confronted everybody everybody involved even editor you know -- assistant editor on the books are -- Richard. And it is if it is I think without a doubt the the best packaged. Product I've ever had the privilege to work on. And there was not the car and then the middle jocks and commitment from yet jocks get I'm coming for three issues and then this is our -- that we keep talking about no heat heat heat -- agreed I'm sure that -- grueling years that I announced that he's gonna get -- that why you're. But he agreed he's gonna -- three issues after ago. And then Cali you know and out Dave -- colors on them on the question to feature. They'll have an issue we're gonna -- the question up to twenty page story in the front and do about woman ten paper. And then after that. JH and it. And then the story the jocks gonna do is actually gonna seed into the story -- fault so at all in office."

" Nice to actually finally have issues coming out the role reversal. God yes that means is this two years of going to this -- don't care -- Barack and even you know JH was in here this year -- western -- pages. And I think to be DC it was like trying to hide those that we have been announced yet. You know so people would rush over there or I would steer them they go like Jerry nadu availability defined JH and asked to see. The ages and not failures -- billionaire. If you stumbled over a stable that way you know you might you might wanna see some pages so now. There's issues big bucks for a while ago and then now we'll read reborn stored on -- well."

" Yes I mean we knew we were gonna do it and and he -- we're gonna do -- the idea was that Dan has been very. Very protective of the project -- make sure that. When we brought it out it was going to be ready it was gonna do the right time and -- finished up alrighty and they -- the battle for the count all. And he came to us he said we have the perfect place to put it. Always at work weeks we thought we're giving there was going to be about woman talkies and detective the world like."

" You mean the original -- entitled detective -- is and what DC comics is named after yet you mean the flagship title. Yes."

" Okay. You know -- yet you don't seem out of that so."

" Until now -- is but a group of consumer group and yet. You you guards have very close the much closer collaboration there because you're all right Allen and James James Robinson honored to welcome to Krypton together as well and then. Sterling. And I are doing -- four issues. Over September October that the actions of rural issues we are each co writing together because that's another its four part story so. So really which ones dragging -- feet. There's allred and a group met titles and the F at our editor now. Never brought on to compare -- I mean in all sincerity nobody's if it's a great group nobody saw -- now. I mean everybody's there. I mean frankly in Austin it's probably me. No I'm serious disease yet I you know all week of memorial six emails and in Robinson. With ideas you know right. Oh come on man and a copy you and sterling calls is that well one of ladies this is that that sounds great I'm just. Trying to finish this script you know authors are restricted to is that yes exactly just like you know. I've missed the feeling. Impending doom and deadline I think -- another. You know meet house or -- position so what is what is what is it that you think you guys found that. People of that consumer and those little harder or people so that's sort of -- them before but. But people say well Kelly Gibson remember now with unions what does that figures found in the character of the world that people really well I think I think. I think -- couple -- I think. Is that the complication in the world and there's definitely a sense in the super -- something is coming and you can feel there's there's a ship. And I think would be in the introduction of new -- of the world where there -- 100000 people who have exactly the same viruses as Superman. Forces the questionable wise he's Superman because if there and other 99999. Of them. Is he just another one I just power that's exactly dead and I think that that is the secret to Superman I think that people it's really easy to Dupuis who can't always area. Big -- is and so on and it's not the Paris that they can -- And and the best way. Perhaps to demonstrate that is to put him in the situation with the powers still there she get sort of the spectacular. You know we we are lifting great huge objects and flinging them and shooting he raised from -- But everybody else is doing it -- of that. It becomes so much about who this man is and why he is the way -- and I think that's very compelling. So -- your James created this world -- total that you're aware of where that word that. All the elements and killed -- well I mean we've been mining you know we've reminding the old stuff and then sort of looking and Igawa how to we update this and we use it so. One of the things that the guilds are as an attempt to sort of reconcile. Different versions of Krypton and different styles and and to make it into. A viable society. And we've actually been really careful about we don't throw things in Willy Nilly if it's if we go though the that are these skills. What is the impact -- and Pete woods you know as the artist. He's got you know these he has the secret website where he posts all his designs and literally you know say we were giving me this and six hours -- you -- and I'll say I have these things up on the -- and he's done. But the whole prison complex in Google sketch up so you're able to move gratitude meeting like this is insane war. We need we need a standard infantry assault weapons. You know they're gonna have an infantry side arms is -- well here read and things like in this is the loading chamber and this is now worth two mile. Okay did that say that's above and beyond so it's nice that all the disguises you everybody using gates and I think that's the other reason it works. But you know audiences are really smart and they open a -- And they known people have fun today. And by the same token they know -- Iran the creative and is enthusiastic and energized by it. And I think that's -- that's really coming across most of them books is they can see the energy. We go in August with. The code name patriot crossover. And that opens up -- whole -- Series of complications to follow us it's as we get closer closes sort of our next checkpoint you know as we're republics ahead of everybody else. Obviously but at. We get more more excited as -- and then this is coming -- that's going to be great to -- this is gonna be so cool I think we can we can tell from the panel talking everybody Edwards really excitable Jeff -- is all really excited right yeah we're we're a bunch of stansted -- boys and it comes through marketing people respond well hopefully it's liberal legible a today exactly it took another thing that's forever -- as we're getting closer -- them them. Yeah stunt. -- in Iraq's government is self worth. Is set to be finishing up to -- three right now so by the time the first that you comes out. We should have the whole story the first -- done. And that's the reason for the delay in I got and his horrible situation with queen and country windows like here's an issue. Any years later here's another issue and if there that wanna stick a knife and I mean is it kills momentum. And frankly I think it's kind of insulting to do that the damn -- I'm especially people who are supporting war. So one of the things that we wanted to make sure we did with -- town was that you would not have to wait for story that we're doing for issue arts. Ideally if everything fires correctly -- get -- solicit one ready and we know in this video and time you get before. And then you're gonna get four months off at least until we have the next four issues --"

" And you know it's it's also produce about map here and iron. You know there again that's another nerd -- for us it's the Rockford Files except in 2009. You know. The you know we we finally have the shirts and that would sit -- the logo on the -- of which which which 11 negative at all taking an ass kicking so you don't have to. And and then with the the the voicemail number one lives which is the other fund related recall about that's pretty fun today there and and you can see the Oakmont there aren't that -- yeah. Well I and never know. If I think that the shooter -- Anything viral is. You can't control it just out of its -- and so I think for for us. You know we mostly did it for ourselves in. It's aren't they have finally because you mention that because of river but because we ask -- every time. Is there anything with -- country new novel's called last run and if all goes well beyond this time next year and that is it's equating country -- and spin in theory what we'll do is to bridge the original -- country series with. Series to move data I've been talking only about. And series to have to divert status quotes a must many of the same characters but. Things have changed a bit of the -- world etc. well yeah I mean well I don't think it's. I suppose it's a spoiler but but he. In in series two chases the -- And part of the -- in countries the united tied so closely to our world. That people had to get older. So that's been part of the reason for the break him part of what last residence there is getting older and chase has been in the field for way to I mean you know reality you're lucky if an agent has a three year operational shelf life before they're blown worldwide. And yeah chase has been in the field now for 89 years that's -- so. Well look forward to make you very atmospheric and get some -- always I stuck and you guys via."

" I'm here. Everything I think you can you can thank you just -- that I'm pretty sure. 32. But the."

" It's never not if it wasn't me."

" It is time."
