I have to ask why two of your series, I believe Demo and one other one, had painfully but enjoyably thick first volumes and very skinny second volumes. Why is that? I've read most of your work and even practice cartooning by trying to copy your panels but I ask the only thing that has frustrated me: Why did the enjoyment factor and possible back pain :p lessen with a shorter second volume? Thank you.
Brian Wood
That's a pretty good question, and in the case of Demo was probably purely due to scheduling. Becky and I did the first Demo early in our careers when we were trying to establish ourselves. By the time we did Demo 2, we were much busier and juggling multiple projects. A shorter second series was all that was possible, if we were going to do anything at all. First Demo: 12 stories, second Demo: 6 stories.

PS: What do you having coming down the pike that you are excited about? Any superhero stuff? I loved your take on Star Wars episode 4.5 and included it on my "best of 2014" list (it will be tough for Marvel to top that, now that they are covering the same era for some reason) and The Massive is so unpredictable! If I had to pick ONE thing from your catalog to be my favorite, I would probably say Northlanders. Dan

Is Dark Horse considering having you write more volumes of Aliens: Defiance? (or are you considering writing more? I'm not quite sure how publishing works with franchise comic titles). I adore Zula, and they're easily my favorites amongst the plethora of comics in the Alien-verse, and it seems upsetting to leave it open-ended, even if this allows for a more hopeful finale than a solid ending would have.
