Yay! Ming, you are pure awesomeness in human form, and even still that borders insulting you. I'm really happy to see your slow gain to recognition and exposure, though I would prefer it sans the slow. For me, it really solidifies the years (lifetime!) you've dedicated to your craft and the perfection thereof.

Love the interview, too! If you check out the replies, it seems you've actually gotten the beginnings of a fanclub! Once they see your geek!hawt, there will be no escape. ^_^ I would love to catch up with you one of these days before you hit it big and make comics the chic thing. Mayhaps in the next day or two (he says with a scheming voice and a cheshire grin...)?

<3 you long time!

Also, I have to say I agree with you about bringing back the weird to superhero comics.

I remember being a wee thing digging through old comics at some doctor's office or something where I had a lot of time on my hands and I was AMAZED at how weird they were! Most of the collection was old war/horror comics but there were some Weird Tales and Doc Strange stuff in there too. Archie sucked after that experience.

Superheros are about as pumped and powerful as they can get, let's see superhero stories that emphasis just how not normal these guys are despite their best efforts and maybe even do one-shot super hero comics with stories that seem like Ray Bradbury wrote them. Insightful, terrifying, and more than a little bit creepy.

So, is this interview letting us know of your grand future plans for a year of Bruce-a-day? SPOILERED!

Also, I fantasize about people interviewing me about my future non-existent artwork and comics. YOU'RE LIVING THE DREAM!

Well I guess we won't be collaborating anytime soon then.

On a more serious note, don't let TokyoPop hose you.

Found your site and blog via Newsarama. I'll swing by again. You're very talented and versatile. Love your line-work. Plus you wear a Batsuit really well. Really well.

Eeeee this is so much piles of awesomeness!! Congratulations and well-deserved at that, lady. I loved reading it and then reading people's comments:

I see a lot of variety in the way she draws figures and faces. Clearly she should be banned from comics.

AHAHAH. WIN.
