A week late, but still worth reading: Marvel editor Nate Crosby interviews colorist Christina Strain:

I’m not the biggest super hero fan, which probably sounds strange since I’m working in a super hero saturated industry, but it’s just not what I grew up with and love. My heart really belongs to comics like RUNAWAYS and SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE, books that have more to do with social interaction between the characters than saving the world. If I had the choice, all I would color would be younger girl’s high school romance comics. I mean, that’s the reason I’ve been on both of them for about 4 years apiece, I genuinely love them.

On top of that, there’s something really satisfying about hearing younger girls and kids in general get into RUNAWAYS and MARY JANE. I feel like I have a small part introducing comics to a new audience, and that makes me all warm and fuzzy.

Also revealed: Christina convinces people to play video games.
