Matt Ryan

'The Descent,' 'Dog Soldiers,' those films, I've loved for years, and the tones of those.

I love Michael Keaton. I think he's awesome - he's such an awesome actor - like the 'Beetlejuice' films. I just love that Tim Burton stuff.

That's John Constantine. You put him in a corner, and you squeeze him, and he'll find his way out. There's something in him - he's a great escape artist.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
