Gillis discusses his approach to comics writing — building stories around central images or ideas — and reflects on how his academic background in literature and theater informs his work on Marvel titles like The Eternals, The Defenders, and the forthcoming Morituri. He draws extended parallels between the Marvel Comics mythos and Arthurian legend, praises the cosmic scope of Kirby's work, and offers sharp analysis of how the comics-fan-to-professional pipeline of the 1960s generation shaped the industry. He also weighs in on censorship, arguing against rating systems while endorsing transparency for retailers, and critiques the use of shock deaths and sensationalism as lazy substitutes for genuine character development.
