While the whole ‘God Butcher Saga’ had elements of fantasy, sci-fi and horror all mixed together, ‘The Accursed’ is very much high-fantasy. Right out of the gate, we’ve got elves, talk of fantastic worlds, strange creatures, Malekith riding a flying tiger, as well as more dwarves, giants, trolls and elves than you can possibly count.

I think the oldest comic I got when I was a kid was an issue of ‘World’s Finest’ – it had a Neal Adams cover with Batman where he had turned into a bat, and he was attacking Superman. Jason Aaron Read Quote
I just typed up three, four paragraphs of an idea and dropped it in a box at the Chicago Comic Con in the summer of 2000, I guess, or 2001 – I forget. I just dropped it on a stack of a giant pile of dozens of other entries. Months later, I was thrilled to get a call from a Marvel editor while I was working my crappy day-job. Jason Aaron Read Quote
I love working at Marvel, but it was definitely DC that got me hooked as a reader. Jason Aaron Read Quote
What’s nice is between ‘Wolverine and the X-Men’ and ‘Thor,’ I get to write two very different kinds of stories. Both of them really seem to scratch some itches for me. Jason Aaron Read Quote
I don’t really have any interest in doing Donald Blake stories. Maybe it’s just I don’t know what to do with that sort of alter ego. Jason Aaron Read Quote
I wrote and drew my own books on notebook paper, and I’d staple ’em together. I had my own fictional company, and we had our own thinly veiled offshoots of whatever was popular at Marvel and DC at the time. Jason Aaron Read Quote
An important part of any good mystery story like ‘Original Sin’ is that it’s not just a game of ‘Clue’ with surprise after surprise after surprise, but the goal is to tell a story in the midst of that. Even once you know the solution to the mysteries, it’s far from the whole story. Jason Aaron Read Quote
I just remember how cool and exciting and crazy it seemed when Marvel was giving this new ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ title to this crime writer Brian Michael Bendis who had never really done any superhero stuff before. Jason Aaron Read Quote
I don’t know about young Thor and King Thor getting their own series someday, although it would be nice if I could write three Thor series at the same time. Jason Aaron Read Quote
