Squirrel Girl is basically a Silver Age character in the modern age, and that makes her a fish out of water in a lot of ways. She likes being a superhero. She likes fighting crime. She doesn’t sit around brooding in the darkness of her Squirrel Hole trying to figure out new ways to make crime pay. Ryan North Read Quote
The nice thing about Squirrel Girl is that she’s smart, and she looks for situations that don’t necessarily involve punching people all the time. Ryan North Read Quote
My first book, ‘To Be or Not To Be,’ took ‘Hamlet’ and converted it to the choose-your-own-path format. It was a great fit for a book where you control what happens – a book as game – because the plot of ‘Hamlet’ is very game-like: get a mission from a ghost to kill the final boss, kill the final boss, and game over. You win. Ryan North Read Quote

I think the best villains are ones that you can look at and say, ‘Yeah, he’s obviously going about this the wrong way or going too far or whatever, but I can see where he’s coming from.’ Magneto’s a great example of that, and the reason he and Charles Xavier can have such great conversations is that they can both make some good points.

I see Jughead as being generally this really rational dude, this anchor of sensibility in a world of boy/girl-crazy friends. Ryan North Read Quote
