#1 What is the first comic you remember reading?

Either Disney Adventures or Calvin & Hobbes.

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

Alfred Pennyworth & Wonder Woman

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

Tie between Nextwave: Agents of HATE by Warren Ellis and Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughn

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

All 3, depending on the title. Some stories lend themselves better to trade, and I find trade & digital are great for catching up.

#5 What do you consider to be the most “obscure” title you read?

Telikos Protocol, by Peter Cooper & Adam Burn (& lettered by my dear friend Justin Korthof).

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

All time? Gail Simone, John Ostrander, Garth Ennis. Right now? Gail Simone, Scott Snyder, Kieron Gillen.

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

My Justice League International #1 signed by Kevin Maguire. Hoping J.M. DeMatteis & Keith Giffen sign it in Baltimore this fall!

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

Until 2012 I was DC-only but I’m branching out to Marvel, Image, BOOM, Dynamite. I do a combination of following creators & characters.

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

Francis Manapul, Terry & Rachel Dodson (they count as 1!), Cliff Chiang. Honorable mentions to Steve Dillon, Kevin Maguire, Colleen Doran

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

Repossessed #3 by J.M. Ringuet
