Robert Kirkman Character Quotations

I think in my nine issues I plan to introduce exactly one character from the Marvel Universe that hasn't appeared in the Ultimate Universe yet.

We are bringing in another threat, which is nature itself. I don't really want to get into specifics too much, but I will say that there is a third uncontrollable, almost undefeatable threat that is going to come in when the characters of the show are at their most vulnerable. It's really going to be something that they have a hard time dealing with.

To me, the best zombie movies aren’t the splatter fests of gore and violence with goofy characters and tongue in cheek antics. Good zombie movies show us how messed up we are, they make us question our station in society… and our society’s station in the world. They show us gore and violence and all that cool stuff too… but there’s always an undercurrent of social commentary and thoughtfulness.

I definitely have character arcs in mind for each character unless I kill them.

I want to spend my time exploring the characters we've already got here. I want to give them more time to shine before the team gets to have 400 members.

You have a valid complaint, and I do recognize it ... but you are reading into things a little bit. Just the same, I will do my best to make horrible things happen to a bunch of white people before something else so graphic hits a minority character.

I have things planned for every character like what they're doing down the road and coming to different realizations but I don't have how they overlap.
