Never plan an act of violence. Just let it happen natural.
I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don't have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you've designed for them you can tell the story I suppose honestly.
I don't necessarily write everything as automatically assuming it will be collected there's nothing that says Hitman will be collected though it might be.
Preacher is a book that somehow allows me time by its settling on it's characters that sort of modern gothic western feel. You're not likely to see the boat veering too far from that.
You work for the devil you better be ready to die for him.

If you look at Marvel Comics there are very few Marvel characters I would like to write.
I'm sure you're aware with the time it takes to put these books together everything can suddenly start coming out at once even though I wrote anything between one and five years ago.
I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it and just get on with the task at hand.
Yeah Hitman I suppose is most of the time a lighter read than Preacher; it was always going to be.
There's immense fun to be had as long as you can sort of sneak it past DC. I have been told on occasion that I need to have more respect for these characters.
I've seen a fair bit of the States and the rest of the world and I'm convinced that there's nowhere I'd be happier there's nowhere I'm missing out on because I'm in N.Y.
I suppose that Heartland Unknown Soldier and Pride and Joy represent not a quieter side but more of a serious side to my work something I've been getting into recently.
As the scripts come in they are sent to the artists and the artists are either very busy or ready to start.
