The first rule of new media is nobody gets rich, but everybody gets paid, in a perfect world. Maybe you don’t get fabulously wealthy doing your webcomic, but as long as you can make a decent living. Mark Waid Read Quote
What I need is for comics to not cheapen out and just do what they think a bunch of bloodthirsty 15 year old fans want. Mark Waid Read Quote
Years ago, I was asked to come up to do a store signing in Vermont. The short version is the two younger guys who own the store pick me up at the airport and start driving me around Vermont, showing me the sights and the textile mills and the restaurants, and the punchline is there’s no store. There is no store! Mark Waid Read Quote
I think comics are really – superhero comics are at their best and most primal when they’re about joy and flying, and about escaping the gravity of the world. But, at the same time, that’s not to say all stories should be happy. Mark Waid Read Quote
Captain America is an interesting character because it makes you ask those questions in yourself as a writer. What do we want as a nation, what do we mean as a nation, what is our role in the world as a nation? What are our strengths and weaknesses as a country? Mark Waid Read Quote

It’s always an amazing gift to be able to work with storytellers who ‘get it’ and who can not only draw anything but can draw it better and more dynamically than you’d ever envisioned. Mark Waid Read Quote
