Rick Remender quotes:

The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has a huge plan that stems from the earlier issues of Uncanny X-Force. Archangel's fall was really the smaller consequence from killing the child Apocalypse. This is the big consequence.

Nothing can compare to creating characters and worlds out of thin air with your friends and making a book exactly the way you think it should be made, pure creative freedom, purity of intention, with no boundaries.

Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's The Wicked + The Divine is a warp into the middle of a wildly imaginative mythology and I'm itching to read more.

Compromise is such an integral part of being a human being. You're compromising in every decision you make.

Final Execution is Wolverine's spotlight arc. He goes through a crazy thing here. I think the fear with him is that he's in so many books that his growth can become stagnant. He ends this story in a very different place.

The seeds for the Descendants were planted in Uncanny X-Force, but I always conceived them as being bigger than just that book.

Any place that manufactures humans into weapons is going to piss off a couple members of X-Force. I always want a personal reason for why these characters take on these missions,

Chaykin's Shadow is a modern legend at his best.

I think that people who don't mind reading find the immersion and their ability to get into a deeper place with the story to be satisfying. That's the kind of reader I want.

A lot of the time you just have to follow your creative muse and do what you think is best for the story.

Anybody who is afraid of reading a page of text is not the reader that I want.

Dad was supportive, intelligent, read to me as a kid, left me a trillion dollars. It's hard to complain.

I can take strange detours and linger in places and do things that have no budgetary restraints.

I do my very best to not allow external trends or zeitgeists to feed into what I'm producing.

I think the biggest mistake you can make in creator owned work is having info-dumps like, "Here's how this world works!" It's just like someone playing dungeon master and boring me with the backstory of their f***ing world. Just bring me into you story and get it cooking.

It wasn't until I'd met everyone else's measure of success that I realized I'd failed myself.

One cannot grow beauty in the soil of hate and pain.

There are only three kinds of people. LEADERS. Those who take charge, build, inspire, and create. FOLLOWERS. Those who support leaders and work to achieve mutually beneficial goals.... [and] DESTROYERS. Destroyers cannot find it within themselves to follow anyone, their hatred and insecurity is too pure to see strength in any OTHER being. The utterly lack the ability to inspire or create, so they do the only thing left to them -- they tear down all they come in contact with.

There is no authority but yourself.

To get through a war, a man needs something bigger than himself to fight for.

You always romanticize the past as soon as the future begins to frighten you.
