The first comic book I ever read was an issue of 'Legion of Super-Heroes' where the earth was surrounded by all of these chains. I remember the cover; I got it at a birthday party. Jonathan Hickman birthdaybookchain Change image and share on social
I think that, whether you liked the outcome or not, the reasons for doing 'Ultimatum' were necessary. The Ultimate Universe had become too much like the regular Marvel Universe, and that was certainly not a good thing for the line. Jonathan Hickman goodlinemarvel share on social

The thing that probably trips me up the most are people getting tattoos of stuff that I've designed in my books. That always spins me out in a weird way.

I've always been a sci-fi/fantasy guy. My book reports in school, whenever you didn't have to do it on Shakespeare, I did it on, like, Piers Anthony and Raymond Feist. Jonathan Hickman anthonybookfantasy Change image and share on social
I think it's good that we're not embarrassed that we're comic book creators anymore. It's good that people are able to make a good living at doing it, and not doing the traditional sort of mainstream fare. Jonathan Hickman anymorebookcomic share on social
'100 Bullets' is probably my favorite thing, ever. It's pretty close with early 'Hellboy' stuff. Jonathan Hickman bulletcloseearly Change image and share on social
