"AVC: Did you end up researching the X-Men and Kraven The Hunter like you’d research historical figures?
KB: Yeah, basically. It’s the same thing. You research the character and the relationship that readers have to the character. The world around it is more important than the thing itself sometimes. Or they go hand-in-hand. A lot of the ways that I like to approach comic books, or anything like that, is not just the book itself, but the fans of it, the readers, the world that exists around it as a cultural object."
