My wife and I have both been taken on as Netflix senior executives.
Were full-time members of staff.
What I do now is I basically create movies and TV shows for Netflix internally.
Netflix
So I dont create them as comics first, I just create them as stories within their system.
I was like, Suits me, thats great!
Im not kidding, its the best artwork Ive ever had.
Netflix
I was like, this is just a dream.
I cant complain about Monday mornings when I get stuff like this.
Your comics almost always have very sharp and interesting premises.
Netflix
They take care of supernatural problems.
What else are you working on for Netflix?All these Netflix things were doing in the background.
Its insane, and Im absolutely loving it, Ive never felt so reinvigorated.
Netflix
Thats the beauty of Netflix.
Youvetalked about the newKick-Assa lot.
You think lightning cant strike twice, but luckily its happened.
Millarworld
Shes a totally different character than Dave Lizewski.
I think people were expecting a rehash, and its been nice, taking that chance.
Its a whole different journey shes on.
So now Im really happy with this one.
I rememberyou predicted on TwitterthatBlack Pantherwould become the highest-selling Marvel movie.
New stuff breaking through is always exciting.
I know its still Marvel, but at least theyre shaking it up a little bit.
Same thing with a female lead.
Its preposterousits taking until 2019 for a female Marvel superhero.
It lets you tell different kinds of stories, and just as a viewer, Im interested in that.
I was like, Really?
When I was writingOld Man Loganand all these things, these were just stories I wanted to write.
As a fan it was like, Okay Im getting to write the Avengers, this is awesome!
[The Ultimatesartist] Bryan Hitch had brilliant designs.
It was unexpected, but I loved it.
What are you looking forward to about that?Brian and I pretty much ran the Ultimate line ourselves.
He did Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, I did X-Men and Ultimates.
Its funny to look back on now, but I had been begging them to relaunch the Avengers.
I was always a really big Avengers fan.
I got some credibility from doingUltimate X-Men; that was the No.
1 book when it launched.
So they said, would you want to doUltimate Wolverine?
I said no, no, Id love to do Avengers.
But what was great was they let me do whatever I wanted because they expected nothing from it.
What are you looking forward to about returning to American comic conventions?I love conventions.
Whats crazy is youre surrounded by thousands of people who are into the same thing youre into.
Its like a secret brotherhood almost, the comics scene.
Theres a fantastic energy.
Ive never gone to a convention and not had a good time.
If you think about it, writing is a solitary job.
Its actually lovely remembering these are the people actually reading this; its not just a deadline.
