BELIEVE THE HYPE: The First Lydia Interview

Johanna Draper Carlson over at Comics Worth Reading interviewed Max Riffner and myself about Lydia and she let me babble on a bit about The Rack collection and some other things. What a nice host!

You have a Cover Girl collection out from Boom! Do you have plans to do more print comics?

Honestly, I’ve not pitched anything to anyone in about a year, mostly because I’d want to own whatever I do. Don’t get me wrong — I think it’d be great fun to write a J. Jonah Jameson miniseries or the like, but I’m at the point where I get the most joy from creating my own characters and worlds.

With Diamond having made some decisions that aren’t friendly to the small press, I’m of the mind that the web’s definitely the way for anyone to start doing comics. Outside of time, your production costs are minimal, and you can build up your audience slowly without having publication pressures on your back.
