This is a can't-miss interview. We dig into so much, including his recent and upcoming Dark Horse Comics work, all of which expands on his Askewniverse. That universe grows with Quick Stops ll out in comic shops on December 13th. We also dig into his work at DC Comics and Marvel Comics, how his films have touched on comics and so much more.
