I love characters who are kind of haunted by their pasts, who struggle on despite their flaws, knowing that, at the end of the day, they’re not going to shuffle off to those pearly gates. Jason Aaron Read Quote
Original Sin’ is, for me, a murder mystery with a huge cast that plays out on a grand stage. Jason Aaron Read Quote
Overall, I’m happy how ‘Original Sin’ has come together. It’s an amalgam of all I’ve done at Marvel, mixing the gritty, violent ‘Punisher Max’ stuff with the zany, light-hearted ‘Wolverine & The X-Men’ work. Jason Aaron Read Quote
You’re always trying to do something that, on one hand, honors all those stories, that is still in some way the same character that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were doing back in the sixties.

I always liked the idea that Thor was the god who’d wake up every day and look at that hammer and not know whether he was going to pick it up. Only the worthy can lift the hammer of Thor, and I love the idea of a god who was always questioning his own worthiness. Jason Aaron Read Quote
Anyone who’s been reading my stuff can see that there’s a lot of tracks being laid for future stories. Jason Aaron Read Quote

As a kid, I was definitely a DC guy. I started reading big time in the ’80s at the height of the Wolfman/Perez ‘New Teen Titans.’ That was definitely the book that hooked me. Jason Aaron Read Quote
Are you kidding? They had me at ‘Star Wars.’ The kid inside me would’ve clawed his way out and strangled me if I’d turned this job down. Jason Aaron Read Quote
Yes, you know Luke Skywalker isn’t going to die in issue #3. But that doesn’t mean you’ve seen every Luke Skywalker story there is to tell. Jason Aaron Read Quote
