« WWC: Tricia Helfer (a.k.a. "GODDESS") Signing | Main | Top 10 Dirty Secrets of the Comics Industry »
YMB went to Wizardworld Chicago this past weekend and asked the following creators "What one question do you have for fandom?" Here are some their responses (Yes, we usually do 20. This time, we only have 10. We were drunk a lot in Chicago. Deal with it.):
10. Jim Valentino, creator of normalman, former Image Comics publisher: Why aren't you broadening your horizons; with so much diversity out there, why are you still reading the same story?
I've been reading a lot of Image comics lately. They seem pretty diverse. Have you ever read any of them before? You should try them sometime. They publish a bunch of different stuff.
9. Tim Seeley, creator and writer of Hack/Slash: Why do you like such shitty comics?
Hey! I liked Watchmen! Sure, I skipped all the pirate stuff, and the book stuff, and kind of just skimmed the ending... But I liked it! So, I don't think you should be insulting Mr. Alan More like that! I also enjoyed his Batman: Year One miniseries. So there.

8. Spike, creator of Templar, Arizona: Why do you think every character is me?
How many women named Spike do you know?
7. Tom Parkhill of Young American Comics: Why don't you demand more independent comics at your local bookshop?
I don't understand the question. I've requested tons of MAX, Vertigo, and Image comics at my comic shop. I even bought a Dark Horse title once. (It crossed over with Superman. He fought the Aliens.)
6. Jason A. Hurley, creator of Honest Abe and the Original G-Dub: What the fuck is wrong with you?
I have self-esteem issues stemming from childhood, coupled with glandular problems which contribute to weight gain and a poor complexion. That and I meet judgmental people on a daily basis.
5. Geof Darrow, artist of Hard Boiled, creator of Shaolin Cowboy: What's [your] collective dick size?
I have a Dick Tracy action figure from the Warren Beatty movie line. He stands about 4 inches tall. But he's not for sale. Find your own.

4.Tony Moore, artist of The Walking Dead, Exterminators: I shook your hand five years ago in Chicago; do you remember me?
Remember you? Do you know what I did with my hand right after we met?
3. Patrick Gleason, artist of Green Lantern Corps: What was happening in your childhood... what scarred you so deep that only comics can heal
I had self-esteem issues stemming from glandular problems which contributed to weight gain and a poor complexion. Comics don't judge me.
2. David Mack, creator of Kabuki: Where do you get your ideas?
I'm a firm believer in ideaspace. That and torrents.
1. Matt Silady, creator of The Homeless Channel: [The] Venom [symbiote] on the Hulk: jumping the shark or totally fucking awesome?!
