Zak and I had sort of casually known each other for a while through internet message boards and mutual screenwriter friends.  A few years ago, Zak mentioned that he was thinking about doing a comic book project and asked me if I had any original comic-book ideas.  I had already been toying around with the general concept that became Hero Worship

In the very beginning, Zak and I just talked about the idea of the book a lot.  We spent a lot of time spitballing and bouncing a lot of possible ideas off of each other.  Zak’s got a fantastic creative brain and, together, we came up with a lot of ideas.  After that, I’d type up an outline for each individual issue based on what we’d talked about. Zak would give me notes and then I’d type up what we talked about in script form. Depending on the script, we might have one or two more “back and forths” before we sent it in.  Finally, we’d both give notes and feedback on the artwork as it came in.
