I don't read much of anything online. It's not an enjoyable experience for me to read something with light projected through it. I like to read comics sitting down, looking at this piece of paper that can't do anything else.

I'm not opposed to comics on the Internet. It's just not interesting to me. I wasn't raised with that. I didn't grow up with video games. I'm a fan of parchment and wood pulp. When you are reading a comic you know it won't make any noises at you. No pop-up screens will appear. All you have to focus on is that little module...

Working on movies made me realize how fluid the medium of film was. You can change a film entirely -- you can give the two different editors the same footage and they'll make two entirely different films. It got me excited about trying to figure out how to edit and change comics after the fact.
