Jason Powell has taken on the yeoman's job of doing an issue by issue analysis of Chris Claremont's 17 year Uncanny X-Men run in an effort to make me feel bad for saying Morrison invented all kinds of things he did not in his New X-Men run, and for spelling Claremont "Clairmont" in my superhero book.
Scott McDarmont (Scott91777) is an Instructor Of English at Radford University, Radford VA, an avid reader of books by guys named Chuck, he usually “waits for the trade” on comics unless Frank Miller is somehow involved. He owns more Def Leppard CDs than Bob Dylan CDs and he is ‘Ok’ with this and, while he may answer different publicly, he secretly feels that The Empire Strikes Back is the best movie ever made. He also feels that there are two kinds of people in the world: Indiana Jones people and John McClane people. He considers himself an Indiana Jones person
Jill Duffy, girl reporter, is a professional writer and editor in New York. She spent five years covering video game development in both San Francisco and London, examining the art, science, and business of the industry, and in 2006 was named one of the top 100 most influential women in the game industry. Her work has appeared in The Examiner newspaper in San Francisco, where she was the food section editor, as well as Game Developer, Gamasutra.com, Intelligent Enterprise, DigitalTrends.com, and several other publications. She holds a BA in English from the University at Buffalo. Indeed, she is on the Twitter and also keeps a blog about food.
Andy Bentley is a graphic designer in upstate New York. The first series of Batman movies got him in a comic book store and the DC animated series made him a life long fan. His senior thesis was a short film on the culture of comic books. Animal Man, Starman, and Preacher are among his favorite comic runs. He is an avid toy collector and enjoys playing basketball, mash-ups, karaoke and dark beers. He will be sequestered most of September with The Beatles: Rock Band.

That was awesome! Great interview Streebo. I love that you took our questions to him. That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
Ha! My question threw him! I guess it is kind of an essay response sort of thing... Guess I've written one to many prompts for my students. And it's not that there are there are 91,777 other scotts... That's my birthday 9-17-77 :)
Oh, I also forgot to throw out what would have been a good question for me, having not read any of fraction's work, which of his works would he reccomend to me?
Ah, his accent is so cute!
(Streebo's.)
(Obviously.)
Ah, yes Streebo, I noticed that... North Carolinian if I'm not mistake (which is where heroes-con is) I'm from Danville, VA which is right on the NC border so that's how most of the people I grew up around talk. I never picked it up myself... I think I just watched too much TV.
Brad: Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think part one of this interview with Matt is one of the best things that I've ever filmed. It's not necessarily a great interview - but it is a great video because of Matt.
Scott91777: I thought it might be something like that - but since Matt starting busting on your username first - I just followed his lead like every good sycophant should. I was really hoping Matt would jump deeper into your question - but it was the end of the convention on Sunday and we were all running a bit ragged.
I think Matt would recommend whatever he's working on right now. So perhaps you should pick up the first two volumes of Casanova since it just wrapped up. ;)
Kelly Sue: Thank you for the nice words. Thanks for letting me spend so much time with your husband on Sunday. Matt is a real trooper. I enjoyed the panel you and Matt did together on Friday. I must admit that your accent is much cuter when you say the MF word. lol
Thank you.
Geoff: Thanks for posting this.
Actually, since Matt did seem to be intrigued by my question and, since it is my understanding he reads this blog occasionally, if he would like to respond to it once he's had a chance to think it out more, I would love to hear from him. I'm always curious to see what creators think on that issue.
Just to clarify - my comment above to Kelly Sue is referring to her participation in a panel on Creative Households at the recent Heroes Con. There was a running gag amongst the panelists as they did their best not to curse as Evan Dorkin's young daughter was seated at the table with them. Kelly Sue got caught up in the moment and accidentally called Matt the MF word right in front of the little girl. Much laughs were had by all. Perhaps it was much funnier for if you were there.
Speaking of my interviews - I would greatly appreciate any constructive feedback. I do these interviews for fun as my ambition is to be a successful storyteller. However - it would be nice for these segments to seem more professional.
Thanks for watching, all. My other interview with Matt Fraction - as well as my interview with Al Feldstein of EC Comics - will be posted later in the week.
