#1 What is the first comic you remember reading?

My 1st memory ever is reading the funny pages w/ my grandmother, the EIC of my hometown newspaper-maybe why I edit comics? 1st book? X-men

#2 You can only pick two: all time favorite comic book characters?

Despite the fact that my son is named after Gambit, I have to go with Jim Gordon & Magneto. I am a big fan of moral ambiguity, obviously.

#3 What is your favorite series arc, limited or mini-series of all time?

“Unmanned” arc of Y: The Last Man-Still the best example of world building, pacing & character development that I’ve ever come across.

#4 How do you read your comics? Print, digital, trades?

Single issues! Don’t be ridiculous. I do read digitally for reviewing purposes, but I usually pick up the issue, too.

#5 What is your favourite independent comic you feel everyone should be picking up?

I’m really excited about “And Then Emily Was Gone,” by John Lees & Iain Laurie, out July 30. I got ahold of it at NYCC & it’s fabulous.

#6 You get to pick three: Favorite writers (current or of all time)?

BKV & Snyder set the standards for writing in my mind. I think Frank Barbiere is insanely talented. People should be reading his work.

#7 What is your favorite comic collector’s item?

My chog from CHEW, it makes me smile every time I see it.

#8 As a reader do you tend to stick to a specific publisher, follow creative teams or follow characters?

I follow creative teams, but I’ll try any creator-owned book that has an intriguing premise, I am always looking for the next great story.

#9 You get to pick three (again): Favorite artists?

I’ve got a new art-crush on Tula Lotay. This is impossible! I have to separate the art from storytelling-David Mack & Rafael Albuquerque?

#10 What was the last comic you read before answering these questions?

Supreme Blue Rose #1 by Warren Ellis and Tula Lotay, I’m reviewing it this week for Multiversity.
