If I could make Panther tough, mysterious, wily, and often at odds with his 'Avengers' comrades, that was a character I'd find interesting.
- No Sense
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It made absolutely no sense to me why Panther would ever join a super-hero team; he's not a super-hero, and the record shows he did a whole lot of nothing most of the time.
- Eyes

- Nov 07, 2020
Denys Cowan and Dwayne Turner's visions of Wakanda as an ersatz African Epcot Center opened my eyes to the unexploited possibilities; these men, both of whom are African American, together with writer Peter B. Gillis, created an African Asgard of sorts, and I just went, 'Oh, my.'
- Search
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think every writer is in search of the truth. We are trying to psychoanalyze ourselves.
- True
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The way that I process and make writing work is I'm really telling true stories; I'm just putting them in a cape and putting an 'S' on its chest.
- Looking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think everybody wants to feel validated in some way, and when you're looking for leisure activities or if you're looking for escapism or things like that, you want to read about characters you can identify with.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Literally everything that could be done with the 'Justice League' has been done with the 'Justice League.'
- Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Escapism has its place. I used to write 'Conan the Barbarian' for Marvel, which takes place in an environment completely removed from the real world.
- Fighting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With all due respect to the other writers, I don't want to disparage any other writers; I don't want to have to invent a bigger villain than Deathstroke so Deathstroke can seem heroic fighting this bigger villain. I'd rather just have Deathstroke be who is, and he's kind of a bastard.

- Nov 07, 2020
In comics, my experience has been mostly artists whose visual storytelling chops are either weak or they're more invested in rushing to a paycheck than in doing work they can be proud of.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All people - white, black, whatever - are tribal in the sense that we relate to that which is familiar to us.
- Genius
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was trained in storytelling by Jim Shooter, Stan Lee, and Larry Hama. Doesn't make me a genius, and there really isn't anything fancy about the stage direction in my scripts.
- Hard Work
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hollywood is, of course, loaded with egos, but it's amazing to see how, despite the egos, those collaborators pull together and focus on telling a story rather than butt heads and sabotage what is extremely hard work and investment just because their ego apparently demands it.
- Challenges
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing 'Deathstroke' presents a number of challenges to me. As a Christian, as a minister, it's difficult for me to write a comic book that all but glorifies violence. So my take on 'Deathstroke' has been to not so much celebrate violence but to deal with the consequences of violence.
- Drawing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is no such thing as Christian art or secular art - writing, painting, drawing, whatever it is.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never really considered 'Quantum & Woody' a comedic book or a funny book. I never thought of it as a satire.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Lots of things that go on in mainstream superhero comics are just stupid. They just show up on the page, and no one makes any mention of it.
- Green
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think there is really much from my career that I want to go back to. I think that, with most of the characters that I've been lucky enough to work with, I've said all I have to say about the Black Panther, Green Lantern, and on and on.
- Green
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At some point along the way, I stopped being a writer, and I became a black writer. I never used to be a black writer. I used to write 'Spider-Man,' 'Green Lantern,' whatever was lying around. 'Thor,' 'Hulk,' whatever. Now, if the phone rings or when the phone rings, it's almost exclusively some project that has something to do with my ethnicity.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my opinion, I feel like all versions of 'Deathstroke' are valid. Just like with 'Black Panther,' I felt like it wasn't good for a writer to say another writer's work was invalid or never happened.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In 'Black Panther,' I tried to preserve virtually all versions and interpretations of 'Black Panther' - including the Jack Kirby one, which was really tough to do - and make it work within current continuity.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Deathstroke,' in my view, is a family drama. It's like the 'Sopranos' with super villains.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some people might shy away from a character like Deathstroke because, you know, all of the blood-letting and the swordplay and violence and all that other stuff.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Deathstroke is a villain. Don't come to the book with any expectations that he will, in any way or sense or form, act heroically. He's a bad guy, and that's the fun of it.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Deathstroke is the dark-mirror version of Batman, basically. He is every bit as resourceful, every bit as ruthless, every bit as powerful as Batman.
- Does
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to demonstrate that Deathstroke does not need to solve every problem with his fists.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You don't want to have a character say what's bothering him; you want to define characters by action.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're talking about villainy, then you're automatically circling around to talk about justice.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I read comics, they were dense stories. When you put them down, there was a sense of having gotten a great deal from them.
- Black
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was writing 'Black Panther,' on one level, I was angry because DC would never let me write 'Batman,' so I was doing Marvel's 'Batman,' and Reverend Achebe became sort of the Joker to Panther's Batman.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What makes a good villain is someone who doesn't just challenge the hero but comes organically out of that character's history and circumstances.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If we can provide even a fictional roadmap to what a successful, prosperous African nation might look like, then let's do that.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The problem with most liberals - myself included - is we tend to think we're post-racial: that we've got a handle on things because we're not racists.

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm old enough to remember seeing James Brown live.
