A lot of people were saying — I’ve gotten a few emails today — “Is this an exclusive?” But it’s not even necessarily that, it’s a publishing arrangement more than anything. It’s for the two of us, as a team and the way we talk about that, it’s like a “Marvel/DC War” kind of thing where they’re trying to get people tied down. We’re not tied down. The deal is a commitment from them to us, so that’s even better. We get to just be artists and be treated like artists and get to do our thing, our way. To me, that was just like, “Holy shit.” I know Fellini said, “Ultimate freedom is the death of an artist.” because you’ll never turn in anything, but luckily for me, Sean needs pages every three days. If I was drawing it myself, during the five-year deal, I’d probably end up turning in one comic because I’d never figure out what the hell to do, but thankfully Sean’s involved and he always wants to draw. The end result, I think, will be more comics from us than we’re currently doing and more — I think better — comics. So far, the next thing and the thing I’m starting to noodle on in my notebook to do after that are going to be two of the craziest, riskiest, but best things we’ve ever done.
