“I am definitely a Tim Burton fan. I had seen 'Edward Scissorhands' enough times to know it by heart. That's exciting: to work on something you feel like you really get.”

“I think a lot of 'Edward Scissorhands' was about the suburban world that Burton grew up in feeling like an outcast. I feel like there's no way it's not at least a little autobiographical from that standpoint. I always liked that.”

“I have friends who practice witchcraft, and I study tarot myself. I guess, to be specific, I don't want to believe in a world without magic.”

“I knew I wanted to do comics, but I wasn't sure what they were about or what I wanted them to be about.”

“I love artists whose work feels animated! Matt Cummings, Ian McGinty, Jake Myler, Arielle Jovellanos, Drew Rausch, Zachary Sterling, Troy Little - I feel like most of the artists I've worked with have a lot of movement and life in their work.”

“Nobody's made an impact like Raina Telgemeier or Kate Beaton. I think that indie creators, people making webcomics and graphic novels, are the ones to watch.”

“I love romance comics. I grew up with 'Archie' and got into other classic series as I got older, and I've been diving into 'Patsy Walker' since starting work on this project.”

“The primary goal for me in doing a superhero series is to make it new-reader-friendly, so it might not be front-loaded with all this history, but you can be sure it will show up!”
