Fans of my books have just been supremely nice.

Violence is stupid. Even as a last resort, it only ever begets more of the same.

There's just something about that late '80s that suddenly feels like it has something to teach us.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
It's just people who grew up in that time are suddenly old enough to be creators themselves, but I think they have a little perspective. I'm 40 now, and I have children of my own. Before I forget my own childhood completely, I want to take some time to take a look at the '80s and think back.

They hurt you. You hurt 'em back. Or maybe it is the other way around. Whatever. Someday you might find a way to forgive each other. But it won't be like it used to 'cause that pain never really goes away.

Gert: Wake me when the fight scene's over. Kitty Pryde: Oy, tell me about it. Hey, I'm Kitty. You the token pacifist of your group? Gert: Not exactly. Pacifists are like vegans, I'm more of a vegetarian. I enjoy fish and occasional maulings.

I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls. There was just this sense that all these young women knew there were openings here to be the first of their kind.

I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.

I've always thought of fantasy as a genre of best-case scenarios, and horror as a genre of worst-case scenarios.

Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'

Happy endings are bullshit. There are only happy pauses.

I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person's hands, and I don't think many screenwriters can say that.
