I really enjoy Brian Wood's work, right now DMZ is one of my favorite ongoing series. I met him at the NY comicon a couple years back, he's a very friendly person to talk to.

said it on pnp, and i'll say it here. that was a great fuckin' interview. it's nice when an interview takes me more than a minute to read and doesn't make me grimace in mental agony. -mellon

Great interview, Tom. Very in-depth. I like how you touched on all of Brian's wood, the breadth of his career. As someone who's been reading Wood's work from the beginning, with Channel Zero, and as ...

Great interview, Tom. Like Scribe above I met Brian at NYCC a few years back and, for some reason (mostly because I knew him from Channel Zero), anticipated him to be HARDCORE BADASS ...

Considering how successful AiT/Planetlar is perceived to be, this part of the interview is sobering: Did you know that prior to DMZ, there was not one year where comics made me the equivalent of ...

Did you know that prior to DMZ, there was not one year where comics made me the equivalent of minimum wage? My first check for DMZ (a script and a cover) was equal to an entire year's worth of royalties on my back catalog.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=100&Focus=4136#Comment_4136 2007-12-04T14:12:04-08:00 2013-05-23T00:52:49-07:00 John Smith http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1171

Yeah, that was amazing to me (especially in light of the scanning topic).

One imagines Bri was engaging in some hyperbole, just looking at his CV for 2005/6, with COURIERS 3 and DEMO, IDW's SUPERMARKET, Image's THE TOURIST, and Oni's LOCAL just bringing in the new ...

That said, no one outside of the Big Two makes anything other than beer money in comics. Marvel and DC carve up 85% of the DM; add in Image, Dark Horse, and Tokyopop, and that takes you to 92% or so...

...which means the entire back of your PREVIEWS catalogue is carving up 8% of the market.

There are certainly easier ways to make money in terms of ratio to effort.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=100&Focus=4721#Comment_4721 2007-12-05T12:01:45-08:00 2013-05-23T00:52:49-07:00 warrenellis http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2

@ Larry-- So really, Brian's a good example of a right way to do it, isn't he? Have a day job, work on the comics you believe in. Be talented. Put out good material, make some chump change. Get ...

Well, sure. Isn't that how most "successful" folks do it, in any discipline or field of endeavor? Work really hard at honing your craft, develop a small but loyal following, reach tipping ...

That's the basic career path of Isaac Newton, Picasso, Sandy Koufax, Ernest Hemingway, Kate Beckinsale, Sumner Redstone, and everyone else.

Thanks, Tom. It really was a pleasure and it's hard to say that about most interviews! Glad everyone liked it as well. bri

Larry, I think that will be one of my favorite quotes for the year.
