Actually, Im lucky enough to have an editor who is all hooked up. You can see his works here at GREENHEADMEDIA.ORG


What were your best moments of 2005?
My family made a trip to Hawaii, it was amazing. A great time with family and friends and the most beautiful place ever.


what were your worst moments of 2005?
Cant say I had any real big ones. Just the little every day stuff I guess.

The Marvel retreat? No. Though I usually go up for the "after work" activities such as drinking and such, but this time my schedule didnt allow.

Only that its happening and Marvel wants it to be a huge book, not just another book that comes out. THey want a top 10 book for Thor.



What books are you looking forword too in te new year?
Mostly, I look forward to catching up on Marvels books- I have a bunch of X-Men Trades, Spidey Trades and the new Avengers stuff to catch up on. I really look forword to reading GOOD OMENS, I just finished Neil Gaimans AMERICAN GODS. Loved it- then I'll finially read his full Sandman run from beginning to end.

I really think the story is done. I did what I wanted with it. Theres movie talk, but no deal yet.



How was your new year's?
Drunk and nudity abounded.


If you could give board members a shot in one of yoru written books would you?

Would you bring back the fan art section in the back of books?
Yea, thats how I first got published, in Amazing Heroes


What new tech toy are you eager to have?
The new X-Box


Thoughts on Lazy sunday?
Best thing ever- until Im sick of it. The one dude is a freind of Jim Mahfood, check out his fucking funny skit called YACHT ROCK http://www.channel101.com/shows/show.php?show_id=152


Were you approached to do te new wolverine ongoing?
Yes and I said no. Only kidding, no.


Thoughts on the new and young avengers?
I liked the first few issues I read, I have to get the trade. People are digging it, right?


Will you release your flicks on ipod video format freindly media?
Sure, it will be easy enough to do- You can download it on the Greenheadmedia.org site for the PSP now
