A collection of interesting quotes from the previous week:

“It’s fun to write a stupid protagonist because you don’t really have to know anything.”

Bryan Lee O’Malley, talking about the title character in the Scott Pilgrim books

“… DC shouldn’t be aiming this at me; they should be aiming this at folks who aren’t reading comics yet but could possibly be talked into it.”

Matt Maxwell on Zuda

“I think that Webcomic collectives are the new garage bands. Everyone plays an instrument and you look for people to develop a sound with. We all got together and started jamming one a week and realized, ‘holy crap, guys… this sounds GOOD. We should take this on the road.’”

Scott Kurtz, on the recently formed Halfpixel

“I was so impressed with how frightening they actually made the vampires. It doesn’t just reflect what I wrote, it also reflects how Ben Templesmith drew it. I’ve gotten as far and being really close to saying I’m liking the movie more than the comic. I was reluctant to say it, but it’s true.”

Steve Niles on the 30 Days of Night film

“Most filmmakers cite Fellini or Godard as inspirations. For me, my Dad used to take me to a comic-book shop in Fort Worth, where I would dig through old stacks of Green Arrow and Justice League of America. Those were my inspirations — comic books.”

–Director Greg Chwerchak

“…a very embarrassing moment for me in my life this year was having to call Bungie and ask for the cinematic scenes at the end of Halo 2 because I couldn’t get to it on my own.”

Brian Michael Bendis
