I use a lot of narration; I have a very prosaic style. I like to get you invested in the character first and do a lot of work in the first pages of each issue to try to re-establish things and keep the symbolism of a story very tucked beneath the surface. Scott Snyder Read Quote
One of my favorite books was ‘The Book of Immortality’ by Adam Leith Gollner, which talks about cheating death and life extension and frames with a story that David Copperfield finds a fountain of youth on an island he bought. Scott Snyder Read Quote

Monsters can be scary, and they’re great, but they’re only really scary when they’re reflections of us and they show you the things you’re scared of might be true about your own nature. Scott Snyder Read Quote
I don’t know if this is the same for everybody, but for me, sometimes I get depressed, where I wake up and I can feel a change. Something went wrong, and it’s almost like you feel tingly in a way where you know something is off, and from that point forward, this anxiety kicks in where you just worry and worry… this cyclical, terrible nature.
