“I'm only 24 so I like to think I'm still close enough to 17 to still remember what it was like. Besides, I could just fake it and get away with it... it's not like there are any teenagers that still read comics.”

“I definitely have character arcs in mind for each character unless I kill them.”

“To me, the best zombie movies aren’t the splatter fests of gore and violence with goofy characters and tongue in cheek antics. Good zombie movies show us how messed up we are, they make us question our station in society… and our society’s station in the world. They show us gore and violence and all that cool stuff too… but there’s always an undercurrent of social commentary and thoughtfulness.”

“I hope you're at peace. I hope you... I hope you're in heaven, and you fell in love with someone who treats you better than I ever did, and that they're fucking your brains out and then fucking your brains back in after that on a daily basis. I'll always miss you, Lucille. I'm sorry I named a fucking baseball bat after you.”

“If I'm grumpy I sure do enjoy writing The Walking Dead.”

“I like good stories above all else... and kickin' art really goes the final stretch to ensure a comic is good.”

“Civilization is a myth. That is the truth this world has taught us. We have not risen above our baser instincts... That is what always has and always will drive us.”

“Point me in the right direction, and shut the fuck up. I'm the one calling the shots now. Fall in line or fall down a fucking well.”

“I don't presume to think I'm great at anything.”

“I'm all for selling books, but when guys are burning my house down, that's where I draw the line.”

“Someone is going to tell you to get use to this. That feeling of being scared and sad. They're going to say it'll be better when you learn to ignore it. Don't listen to them. Hold on to it, remember it... Don't let yourself forget it. It's too easy to lose.-Carl Grimes”

“June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.”

“I will say that Rick will probably die before the end of the book. I'll go ahead and put that in print. Nobody's safe. I've almost killed him three times already.”

“I want to spend my time exploring the characters we've already got here. I want to give them more time to shine before the team gets to have 400 members.”

“I have things planned for every character like what they're doing down the road and coming to different realizations but I don't have how they overlap.”

“But honestly... I just don't know what anyone's thinking. To me, that's scarier than any half-rotten ghoul trying to eat my flesh.”

“I will work on Invincible until I am made to quit.”

“It's nice to know that what you're doing is being read and enjoyed by a good deal of people.”

“I think Walking Dead is more of a stretch for me because I'm a light hearted superhero kind of guy.”

“Right, he can kill the dead. What happens when he realizes we're training him to kill the living?”
