 I will throw all my best efforts into it, my thoughts and political observations, but ultimately I want to create a narrative that keeps you turning the pages and leaves you with a sense that this thing has a reason for being there. Think of me as the weathered sheriff coming back into Dodge `cause the youngsters are shooting up the church and scaring the horses and not doing right by the women.

The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He`s dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he`s a hero the whole time.

I was always into noir. When I lived in Vermont I was drawing stuff that looked like an amateur doing `Sin City`. When I first got to New York I was swiftly informed that they only did guys in tights.

[on Batman Begins] "I totally thought they did a damned good job. It was the first `Batman` movie I`ve genuinely liked. I sat there, I watched it, and I came out of there going, `Well done, man.` Sure, they used my stuff - they used everybody`s stuff, but they used my stuff a lot - but they did it well, and that`s all I care about. It was Batman. What I mean by that is, I thought the character was true. You understand, when I work on a character, I have a very, very hard time seeing anybody else`s interpretation. I get very possessive. But when I went out to see this thing, I said, `This is a pretty cool Batman.` I wasn`t sitting there going, `This is a merchandising tool.` I felt like it really had heart and substance, and Christian Bale with no doubt performed the best Batman I have ever seen."

I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.

What I want to bring back to superheroes with this project is a sense of play. Things have gotten so dreary. The heroes have gotten so ugly that even their muscles have muscles.

[about his inspirations] I`m a comic book artist. So I think too myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coat. So that`s what I write about.

You can`t have virtue without sin. What I`m after is having my characters` virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That`s how you test people.

I figured Daredevil must be Catholic because only a Catholic could be both an attorney and a vigilante.

My feeling is that the hero has now been defined by phrases like the odious one that we were all raised with - crimes does not pay. Of course it pays, you schmuck. That`s not why we don`t do it. We don`t do it because it is wrong.
