Warning:   This interview is very long.

By Jeff Johncox for Comics Corner

Comics Corner – How did you get involved with Dark Horse and in making the “Umbrella Academy?”

Way: Well, I had really missed comics since starting the band and I guess I really wanted, in the beginning, we just really never stopped (playing). Once it took off and it was really exciting, I realized I hadn’t written or drawn anything comicwise, or bookwise, or anything. I hadn’t had a chance to be creative in that regard and I really missed it.

I started Grant Morrison’s “Doom Patrol,” because it started coming out in trades, and I was on tour and had just gotten sober and I had all of this free time. So I said “f— it, I’m going to write a comic.”

CC – Grant Morrison had a nice quote for you on the cover of the second issue. Have you always been a big fan of his?

Way: I have always been a big fan. Grant is great because if you get into cool comics, somebody shows you basically “Watchmen,” that’s the first one they show you. Then you get into Frank Miller and then your world opens up. From that point you can go one of two ways. You can still stick around mainstream superhero books or go into indies. Ultimately, you can find someone like Grant who is totally uncategorizable, if that’s a f—ing word. He’s somebody that’s right up the middle. He’s doing this very postmodern stuff. It doesn’t matter if it’s superheroes, it doesn’t matter if it’s hired assassins. It doesn’t matter … anything.

CC – I went the Warren Ellis route after Frank Miller

Way: Right. That makes sense, too. Because he’s another one of those guys, it’s more of the Vertigo type way.

That’s where I went. I got into (Neil) Gaiman and I got into Grant.

Grant ended up being my favorite author because he’s so willing to take risks. He’s so daring. He’ll take these characters and do anything he wants with them. You know, and he has a love for superheroes where a lot of people were either being cheeky with superheroes and doing parody or they were doing them so bland it was becoming a parody of itself anyway.

Grant, who has a true love of the silver age, had all these crazy ideas.
