still figuring out how to use this site. I am a writer. You may have heard me on This American Life or seen some film and tv or most likely read KING SPAWN, ABOVE SNAKES, BLISS, SUPERMAN, COYOTES, THE FEW or any other comics I have worked on.

I pitched this article off the cuff, and it turned into one of my favorites. Then I talked to both Sean and Jonathan about BPVQ here:

Still can't believe one of my favorite writers answered all my questions. I'll remember that forever.

How you have a comic career...
1. you don't worry about the trends or anything people tell you, you should be doing. If you want longevity... stay out of the social circles and the gossip. Have a POV.

just finished a short story of XO Manowar. Been holding back from comics of late. But loved XO as a kid. Spawn. XO. Superman. Batman. Harley. Been a fun run of characters I've gotten to write the past few years.

The question might be across journalism as a whole. The purpose of journalism in the early days was to uncover, expose, discover... most journalism does not.
Much of it amplifies brands and businesses. That will never be the most interesting thing about anything anyone covers.
