Watching the evening news in 2011 is a strange time-travel experience.

The difference is that people aren't watching. -- Rob Sheffield

When I was working upon the ABC books, I wanted to show different ways that mainstream comics could viably have gone, that they didn't have to follow 'Watchmen' and the other 1980s books down this relentlessly dark route.

I shot a pilot for ABC, which I'm a bit confused about what the actual title is - I heard it was called 'Chosen.'

I'm the one who often makes the 'Murder, She Wrote' reference, and ABC hates that, they don't want me to do that. And I say that having never actually watched 'Murder, She Wrote'.
