“I think writing comics is predicated on being a fan - there's no either/or. I'd argue I'm an even bigger fan now than when I started because I know how the hot dogs get made. And I kinda always saw the moving parts.

“[A comic book writers' union] will never happen. Someone will always be willing to write Batman for free. ... You sit at a bar with an editor at a show and you see 19 people come up and pitch ideas at them. If everybody writing the top 20 books all quit and demanded, 'Union now, union forever,' those 19 guys would be getting phone calls. There will never be a union. I think things are getting better - I bet things have never been so good - but there will never be a union.” PeopleIfsThinkingWritingBookIdeasShowsHappensWould BeGuyForeverWillingUnionsPhonesCome UpQuittingBarsComicGet BetterEditorsComic BookPhone CallsThings Are Getting Better Author:Matt Fraction
“I think continuity is the devil. I think it's constricting and restrictive, I think it's alienating and off-putting, and it inflicts an artifact of linear time as we experience it on something that exists outside of linear time as well as keeps new readership away by keeping comics a matter of trivia and history rather than actual stories.” ThinkingWellsMatterStoriesDevilComic BookContinuityLinearAnd OffArtifactsReadershipTriviaLinear Time Author:Matt Fraction
“I had at some point the epiphany that if I wanted to be a writer, maybe I should stop thinking about writing, or stop writing about writing, and actually write.” IfsThinkingShouldWritingWantedComic BookEpiphany Author:Matt Fraction
