As mentioned previously, I write regularly for AMC’s movie blogs, and will be periodically posting excerpts here… Though if you like me, you should always click over to the full articles. Always.
I just posted a Q&A with Bill Hader full of geekery, but the part most apt to you guys are these tidbits about Hader’s first comic book:
Q: You also have a comic book arriving in stores today. Tell us about the plot, and how you ended up writing it.
A: It’s a one-off Spider-Man story and it takes place on Halloween. It involves Spider-Man getting mistaken for Ronnie, a drunk dude dressed up as Spider-Man. Seth Meyers and I worked on it over the writers strike. We met all the Marvel guys at the Marvel Christmas party a year ago. I’m friends with Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction and they got us in. We met Joe [Quesada, editor in chief of Marvel] and he was like “Write something for us!” and we said, “OK!”
Q: Do you have any aspirations of being in a superhero movie yourself?
A: I don’t know. I don’t really have the build for it. I’d like to play a hick or something if they ever did a Scalped movie. Or a criminal in Criminal. Or a ghoul in the next Hellboy.
Q: If you could be any villain in the next Spider-Man movie, who would you choose?
A: Badger Teeth (read our book!)
