Notable works: Visual Assault Omnibus; Sofa Jet City Crisis;  Genaissance: A Parable Scribed By The Shadowside Of God
 

1) Favorite work of your own: Genaissance: A Parable Scribed By The
> Shadowside Of God
 

2) Favorite comic of all time: Starlord by Chris Claremont & John Byrne
 

3) First Comicbook read: Avengers #10 by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby
 

4) What's your dreamproject?
I'd like to bring back THRILLER by Robert  VonEeden (DC Comics).  The first six or seven  issues in this 12 issue maxi-series rocked!
 

5) Top four influences: Michael Wm Kaluta, Archie Goodwin, Gil Kane, Chris Claremont, Jim Steranko
 

6) Most memorable comicbook storyline: The Iron Fist/Davos conflict that  ran from Iron Fist's short-lived book into a Marvel Team-Up two part story.  It was the last time Iron Fist had merit.  After that, they teamed him up with Luke Cage and he became Power Man's rich white flunky.
 

7) Person you'd like to collaborate / work with the most: Bruce Timm
 

8) How did you get started working in the biz? I got tired of submitting  samples and getting no responses, so I started self-publishing.
 

9) What's on your bookshelf, cd rack and vhs cabinet? Bookshelf: tons of  sci-fi books by Harlan Ellison, Walter Jon Williams, William Gibson, John  Varley.  CD rack: The Police, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, The Glove.  VHS:  Jin-Roh, Jigoku, Princess Mononoke, The Bride With White Hair, Crouching  Tiger Hidden Dragon, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Giant Robo...and the list goes on.
 
 

10) What scares you the most? Waking up one day when I'm ninety years old  and coming across a box of unpublished material and feeling the regret of  never having published it.  "If only I would have..."  I'm sure you writers  know what I'm talking about.
