MARC: Ben Edlund’s Tick books — and animated series — have always been favorites of mine. They’re just filled with comic gold, while still maintaining the integrity of both the hero and his adventures. And, for that matter, Ghostbusters, which manages to be hilarious while also functioning as a perfectly valid supernatural mystery. It was very important to us that Hero Complex operate on both of those levels.
EJ: Artist Javi Fernandez has some really nice “acting” moments. The nine-panel grid where Captain Supreme applies for a loan is a good example. Was that something you asked for specifically?
