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
There's that old cliche that art is never finished, only abandoned. That's the nice thing about comics. It forces you to abandon it long before maybe you're ready to let it go. Jonathan Hickman abandonartcliche Change image and share on social
Artwise, I'm kind of a chameleon. I don't have an established style or anything like that. Jonathan Hickman artwisechameleonestablish Change image and share on social
I have an architecture degree; that's what my college degree is in. And that sucked. I started doing Web and CD-ROM development really early on, and then that grew into being an art director and doing advertising work. Jonathan Hickman advertisearchitectureart share on social
My overall artistic goal is to marry graphic design with comic books and traditional storytelling. Jonathan Hickman artisticbookcomic Change image and 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. It seems like such a permanent commitment to something I've done. I don't know that I could do that for anyone else. Jonathan Hickman bookcommitmentdesign share on social
I do believe that sci-fi or historical fiction finds an easy home in comics because there are no budget constraints in regards to the necessary world-building or visual effects necessary to bring those stories to life in other mediums. Jonathan Hickman bringbudgetbuild share on social
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 always thought I was going to be an artist. All I ever did was draw. I only ever turned to writing because I couldn't find somebody to write the kind of stuff I wanted to do. That just spiraled out of control. Jonathan Hickman artistcontroldraw share on social
