It's cool because I think 'Ex Machina' is a little bit under the radar, which is always when I do my best work - when I feel like no one's paying attention. Brian K. Vaughan attentionbitecool Change image and share on social
I never want readers to be comfortable, to feel like we're in a comedy or a drama. Life is never just one of those things. Life is a balance of all those things. Brian K. Vaughan balancecomedycomfortable Change image and share on social

Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys. Brian K. Vaughan animalapocalypticcat share on social

After 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well. Brian K. Vaughan americangenrehandle share on social
